Joey Barton has mocked Oxford United Assistant Manager Chris Hogg’s playing career after Chris Hogg sent him a ‘laughing emoji’ on Twitter. Barton responded with a Wikipedia screenshot of Chris Hogg, the Assistant Manager’s playing career… However what Joey Barton failed to fact check was which...

‘They Think It’s All Rovers’ is worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. Mad documentary for all the wrong reasons featuring Doncaster in the 90’s in their relegation season.

Strange game. I found myself unbothered (weirdly) though much of that was the lack of any sort of edge the game offered. Shrews have big problems offensively. There is absolutely no threat whatsoever from full backs, midfield and strikers. Chey Dunkley was solid. Marosi was a disaster. We...

I might just have a terrible memory... Other than Udoh’s daisy cutter that went well wide in the 92nd minute, did you have a single shot?

Plenty. He’s very Oxford United-centric with every club.

I think you’re being too generous in favour of OUFC! We out Stevenaged Stevenage, just! The fact we changed our entire game plan and style speaks volumes for the opposition. It was a real test, arguably the biggest of the season so far. 3-1 I think probably flattered us. The biggest difference...

Bad feeling about this game against Stevenage. For the first time this season we are setting up very differently. With no recognised centre forward again, I can see the logic somewhat as I think Bodin will be outmuscled on his own. We have gone for wingbacks for the first time. This will either...

Exeter are probably the best side we’ve faced this season by some margin. They knocked it around and looked well drilled. In reality we could and probably should have been 3-0 up within 25 minutes though by not taking chances it made for a much more competitive game. We don’t have a recognised...

How did Yanic do on his debut? Other than Cambridge where the side were complete dross, we have dominated large spells in games so I wouldn't expect any different this afternoon. If you are to get anything you'll either need to outplay us with a high intensity press of just sit back and absorb...

Fleetwood’s confidence is rock bottom. They need some signings. Fast.

I can assure you, Yanic Wildschut is absolutely not a striker. We shoehorned him there once because Karl Robinson spent the summer patching up his marriage following an affair with the women’s team captain rather than recruiting strikers. I’m not sure if that qualifies as being of sufficient...

I’ll post a balanced summary if he gets the job. In the shorter term, he’s a bloody nightmare.

We haven’t clicked yet. Our offensive play needs some tinkering to really threaten consistently and we don’t get enough shots off given the dangerous positions the side takes up. I’m also not convinced the formation the side plays right now will be the one to finish the season. So there’s still...

In all fairness, Alfie Devine can hardly claim having had much of anything to do with changing anything! Nathan Smith, yes. Alfie Devine, no. A bonkers game. Played 10 times over you’d be lucky to have scored again let alone win. Vale must be thinking all their Christmases have come at once...

As has been said already, a massive exaggeration. Derby weren't good but they aren't exactly relegation fodder. I quite like Paul Warne, yet Derby do look like they've just thrown together a load of experienced pros and are hoping that they'll all gel whilst hoping the quality and experience...

We're still in for Tyler Burey (Millwall) - I've never seen him play so can't comment. We've also allegedly had bids knocked back for Jack Marriott at Fleetwood. I'm assuming he's nowhere near the same player he once was, but had a decent run in front of goal from January.

I'm sorry, but when you beat Championship side QPR at home 5-0 a week before the season opener with a really complete high-energy performance there's only one conclusion I can draw... A 2-0 away defeat.

To be honest, I was being kind... Yes. It was bad.

I can't speak on behalf of other supporters, though I'd be inclined to assume that most supporters across League One and League Two are fairly loyal in terms of their identity (barring a handful of sides with no history). I would think if you surveyed most Oxford supporters, they'd identify as...

To be fair, it wasn't exactly all his fault. He was treated abysmally by our previous manager to the point I wouldn't have been all surprised to have seen him quit football altogether. On at least one occasion he has been seen crying on a football pitch. That's far from normal. To have seen...
