Irrespective whether we have good, bad or indecisive referees, we'd still be sat 20th.
Conversely had we had a sensible, mild-mannered football manager making rational decisions from the start of the season we'd have won the title by February.
Had we not sacked Robinson we wouldn't have been 'sucked in' because we were going down anyway, 100%. Forget the squad, we were dreadful. Much to do with the sheer incompetence of the manager over a longer stretch.
Who knows what we will do now. I fear our board won't make a swift decision and...
I can see him applying and annoyingly I can see him impressing Tim Williams, the likely decision maker in this process.
I tend to think the best candidate will likely come from a Prem side with a track record of performance with an under 23 side.
I wouldn’t be so sure.
In the interim we have Craig Short, Wayne Brown and Leon Blackmore-Such. I’d argue we’ve gone from a Manager who was working against the team to effectively having a voiceless, enthusiastic-less trio who will do little to inspire a squad devoid of any confidence. It’s...
We are rubbish.
But that doesn’t matter. Karl Robinson is playing a bigger game. He’s of the opinion in the media today that ourselves and MK will be better next season because we aren’t very good right now. I’m actually at peace with not being very good now because we are going to be so...
I listened to Karl Robinson’s interview after the game. Yes, you may have won the game but when you look at the overall play, the possession stats, how we limited the number of efforts on goal, how we could have won the game and that the players care… Oh and something about mountains and a...
We’ve been so utterly dreadful this year with so many poor decisions being taken across the club that this doesn’t really feel like too much of a kick in the teeth given the disappointment of this season amongst other things.
He’s been a brilliant player for us. Someone we could always bank in...
Yep.
It takes some doing. All that was required this summer was a few minor alterations, 5-6 additions.
Instead we have a manager that increased our wage bill substantially (the biggest in our history and top four in League One) and took a play-off quality squad to one which frankly is only...
We had a bigger win earlier in the day with the approval from councillors to enter into negotiations relating to a piece of land for a new stadium. A huge milestone.
Not that we were ever going to follow it up at Wycombe. This season was done months ago. Our Manager wants out and we don’t want...
Yes, I actually played in a non-league fixture a few years back! There was a power cut on 77 minutes and all the floodlights went out (genuinely!).
Won the game 2-1.
I assume the EFL will be stepping in after Oxford’s victory, extending bans and points deductions to both Kieran McKenna and Ipswich respectively.
McKenna came out in the press to say that Karl Robinson’s tactics caught him off guard and Ipswich were unable to respond.
Karl Robinson has never...
Honestly, I’m sure even we know how good James Henry is anymore!
James Henry is a bit of a funny one. He’s been a brilliant servant to OUFC and has got us out of the mire more than any player in the last 10 years. When he joined there wasn’t much love for James Henry either from the player nor...
I love Oxford United and the culture which Karl Robinson has instilled in us this season.
When you’re as good as we are and the beneficiary of such good football, there are more valuable commodities than three points. Charity is our forte.
Such is our generosity, we decided to give Exeter...
I thought we had problems… Until we just beat Charlton.
That first 30 minutes was a disgrace. I’d be furious as a Charlton supporter. That showing was as bad as I’ve seen in a long time from an away side. The ‘effort’ was non-existent. We are shit, but that’s a completely different level of...
Probably the best side we’ve face this season, though I’m in no doubt we greatly assisted with our capitulation after 15 minutes.
Even Wes Burns had a pop at supporters for their reaction when the game was won. Struck me as peculiar.
Ed McGinty wasn’t brilliant though he’s only played in the...
We are awful. Ipswich toyed with us, not that it takes much. Our squad isn’t good enough and we look miles away from being promotion candidates. 5-0 wouldn’t have been unfavourable had Ipswich won by that score line. The root of our troubles lies with KR. That was a typical Oxford United...
We decided today wasn't worth our efforts to secure three points.
Our opponents Sheffield Wednesday should suffer a fine and point deduction for their willingness to let us outplay them today. We are hideous and incapable of outplaying anyone.
We should also suffer the same fate for missing...
