Dire

In a bid to stop the more than dire recent results, Smith has brought in Martin Foster from Halifax to brighten up the midfield and Mickey Corcoran, a Northern Irish under 21 international comes into the defence.

Anaclet still getting a little stick, undoubted enthusiasm but ineffective with supplying crosse, similarly Brevett isn't a wing back so the call is for Smith to abandon the 3-5-2 system, we will see.

Home to Cambridge today.

Good Luck

1-1in the varsity match, no win for 9 games now! At least we scored though, and Anaclet must have relieved the stick a bit by scoring his first for the club. Still need a win though....

I was going to say that your mate scored to relieve the stick, a good header apparently, but need to catch up properly.

I have been a little distracted with the Real game on at the moment, Rugby Union, now that is a sport and a half.

Oxford away to Aldershot tomorrow, still hoping things can only get better.

Another quiz question?

Who did Oxford play in John Aldridges final game, it was a shocker for Oxford, they were in the First Div and their opponents in the fourth.

Good Luck

Moss

[dantilley]

Was it when Aldershot beat us 3-0?

[Mossfinn]

Was it when Aldershot beat us 3-0?

Spot on Dan, I thought it a little easy considering we are playing the Shots today.

The old report says Aldo just wasn't interested.

Shocking result considering that only a short time earlier we had beaten Man Utd 2-0 in Fergusons first game in charge.

Good Luck

Oxford again throw away a winning lead by conceding a late goal, 1-1 final score.

The only consolation being the Dags losing at home to Rushden, but had a fine away win 0-4 and Gravesend had an impressive 2-1 win against fellow challengers Morcambe.

Good Luck

Another test gone wrong

Sat Feb 17th

Good Luck

Duffy puts Oxford 1-0 at half time.

Another quiz question, this is the first time an Oxford player has scored 20 goals in a season.

Who was the last?

Final Score 1-0.

Typo, should have read "this is the first time an Oxford player has scored 20 goals in a season for ** Years".

I will give a clue tomorrow.

[dantilley]

John Durnin, was it? Actually, there must have been one since he was playing. Paul Moody maybe?

[Mossfinn]

Nope Dan, a little further back I believe.

It was 20 years ago, any help?

Having said it was a little further back this is certainly the case of Moody but Durnin I reckon was approx '88 to '93, so just a little further back.

Good Luck

Moss

[ThaiPauly]

John Aldridge?

If not him then Billy Hamilton perhaps?

Nice to see the U's back to winning ways Moss

[Mossfinn]

Me too TP, a little scrappy but hey when you need the points you'll take them any way you can.

.

But you are also wrong on both counts.

Let me see, a clue.

I think this guy played for Forest but I will check.

Good Luck

Moss

Yes he did play for Forest, played for Oxford '96 to '98, played 68 times and scored 27 times.

[Mossfinn]

Well, looks like no one got the answer.

Answer in the text.

It surprized me too!!

[ThaiPauly]

Well I never.

Would appear that Duffy also scored the winner last night as well.

All you can do is keep winning and hope the team above drop points.

Good Luck

Total Tripe, sorry about that folks.

Nigel Jemson '96-97 & 23 goals

Paul Moody '94-95 & 24 goals

& '95-96 & 23 goals.

John Durnin '89-90 & 15 goals

So it was 10 years and not 20, sorry about that guys.

Good Luck

Moss

I promise to get the quiz questions right next time

3 wins out of 3 I think now...still some hope...just a pity the leaders keep winning all their games.

That Duffy bloke is sure on a scoring streak!

have you got to play them again home or away??

Here's one for you Moss.

Nine years ago when Oxford played Reading in the Championship there was a sit down demostration by the Reading fans in front of the team coach after the game. (Not by me I am above that sort of thing). They were calling for the head of the then Manager Terry Bullivant.

What was the score of that game and who were Oxford's management team at that time?

Malcolm Shotton, I believe TP, but as for the score, I have no idea.

It was a turbulent time for both clubs at the time, both going thru managers like nine pins, the stadium fiasco and all sorts going on.

But as for the score, I just don't know.

Good Luck

Moss

[ThaiPauly]

Not turbulant for Oxford at that time Moss.

You are correct ...Shotton and "Flapper" Harrison were the management team.

The score was 3-0 Oxford and JB scored a peach of a goal...more the pity for us...but it did not really matter. We were relegated!!!

From what I can remember TP it was certainly no Cake walk, the team absolutely hated Shotton, to the extent that there was rumours of some form of strike or walk-out, I think it was just pussy-footballers who didn't like the ideas of discipline.

However he got the same ending as Bullivant the following season

Good Luck

Moss

I couldn't remember Harrison though, that period brings back bad memories.

Matt Day scores late in the first half, 1-0 at half time, unfortunately the Dags are also 2-0 up at HT.

Good Luck

Moss

[Mossfinn]

As i was just leaving to take the dogs for a walk, Anaclet scored the second. Final score 2-0.

It appears to now have been accredited as an own goal which is a shame.

The Dags win 4-1 though.

Good Luck
