Well, whilst I've been away the miserable form continues, a couple of draws and a two-nil loss last week.

13 players on the injury list and the loss of top spot to the Dags.

Back to winning ways today

Home to Morcambe today, I hope they make a Wise move of it!

Good Luck

Moss

[Mossfinn]

Another bore draw.

Oxford just cannot score, the Dags win 3-2 and now we are 4 points behind.

Good Luck

Have had 2 losses now, so not quite such runaway leaders. Dag & Red are still winning a lot. We're still 8 points clear of third (so 8 points clear in the promotion spots) so I don't see it being a problem to go straight back up...

How many automatic promotion places in the Conference?

One or two?

I thought it was two, but had another look at the table and it shows only one.

I will try and check.

Sorry Moss...I have checked...its only one up and four in the play-offs

Hope that you were just going through a bad patch.

Onwards and upwards eh?

[dantilley]

Shit, I thought it was 2 automatic places...!

Trust me, they can't keep playing this bad!!

But they have a horrendous injury list at the moment.

Is Matty Robinson still at Oxford?

I used to rate him when he was at Reading, but he was obviously not premiership material, but I heard a rumour that the Bald Eagle was prepared to let him go??

Yes he was prepared to let him go and did at the last clearout toward the end of the season.

Still struggling for goals at the moment, scrape thru with a 1-0 penalty win against Lewes in the replay of the FA Trophy.

Saturday brought 2-2 draw with Halifax in the next round, so at least a couple of goals registered.

Good luck

Moss

[Mossfinn]

To get over the scoring problems Oxford have travelled to Latvia, signing Kristaps Grebis, apparently a free scoring striker in his own country.

We shall see.

Good Luck

Moss

[Mossfinn]

Oxford continue their poor run.

2-2 draw at home to Halifax and lose the replay 2-1, in the FA Trophy.

Draw 2-2 with Grays at the W/E.

We have now gone from not scoring to defensive mistakes allowing teams back into the game and now it is the goal scorers in this case Duff getting us out of trouble.

It can't go on, things have got to change for the better soon.

Good Luck

A quick question to liven up the thread.

Which famous player was preparing to play his last game 20 years ago today.

Answers on a postcard please.

Are you talking about an Oxford player Moss? Do you mean their last game before retirement or moving on?

If so January 1987 hmm...I will put my thinking cap on

Let me know mate..I may surprise you !

[dantilley]

Billy Hamilton, perhaps?

[ThaiPauly]

Billy Hamilton, perhaps?

Hadn't Billy already gone before the League Cup Final in 86?

I maybee be wrong ..but I would stick my neck out and go for Dave Langhan or Jeremy Charles

But I am more than likely wrong

come on Moss..gis a clue???

O.K TP,

He was moving on to bigger things, and the transfer fee 750,000 GBP!

PS All answers so far are incorrect.

[Mossfinn]

Oxford away to Woking tonight, 12minutes gone, 0-0.

Good Luck

Moss

[Mossfinn]

Oh dear, as I was writing, Woking have just scored.

Good Luck

[ThaiPauly]

Ah well now we know that it was not a retirement jobbie..which I thiught it was I would say

Ray Houghton going to Liverpool...but it could also have been John Aldridge going to the same place

Definatley one of those two

Do I win a prize.?

Not a season ticket to the Kasasam..with the second prize being TWO season tickets !!!!

Only joking...the only time I have been there was as a guest of Darbys Solicitors to see Tommy Docherty give one of his football stories....could hardly understand a word he said !!!

[dantilley]

That figure sounds like John Aldridge's price tag, so I think it must be him. Off to Liverpool...

yes you are correct...but I said his name first so I win

nah -nah -nah -nah -nah

[dantilley]

Lost 1-0 last night. What is going on!!!!!!??????!!!!!!!

[Mossfinn]

Lost 1-0 last night. What is going on!!!!!!??????!!!!!!!

I have no idea!!

Their results from the last 10 games bear no relationship at all to the first 18, and that is just in the conference, if you take into account the FACup and Trophy, well it is hard to understand.

BTW, yes it was JA, but as my rules specifically stated that answers were to be on a postcard, niether of you win

Good Luck

I know this an Oxford thread and from my name I guess you know who I support.

All rivalries aside good to hear the normal banter of the lower leagues, all Premiership over here gets too much sometimes.

Good luck to this year and hope you get up, being totally selfish hope we dont see you as hoping for promotion too.

[Mossfinn]

With the danger of incurring the wrath of the other Oxford boys, welcome to the friendly thread.

Oxford v Swindon was the only football game I took my wife to see at the old Manor.

Good Luck

Moss

[Mossfinn]

Home tonight V Rushden, trying to catch up the 9 point deficit on the Dags.

A must win as stated by Jim Smith.

I don't think anyone will disagree.

Good luck

Moss

[ThaiPauly]

Sorry to see another defeat.

The heat is really on now..what a collapse!..nine points clear ..now nine points off the pace.

Looks like its gonna be the play-offs...cant see the leaders giving up that sort of lead...you would have to go back 10 years to the Man United- Newcastle run-in to see anything vaugly similar.

But good luck anyway...you never know.

TP

[Mossfinn]

I had to give up even listening at half time, it was truly awful.

Don't count on the play offs at this rate, the pack are closing fast, many team just off the pace of the play-off four.

Good Luck
