Re: MATCHWATCH : Birmingham City (h) sponsored by 5 games without a win

I just don't think he knows what he's doing. oxf*rd last season, it's this season that matters now.

He should resign.

Re: In or Out?

We're only "going backwards" because Stam did better than expected last year. I see that idea and similar bandied about quite a lot on here...but surely a decent manager would have been able to kick on from there and make a fist of this season, rather be a bit limp? Stylisticly I guess it...

Re: In or Out?

Last season was fantastic and expections for improvements were inevitable heading in to this season. Annoyingly we haven't built on the success - but this is a 3 year plan. The local press have reported Stam won't be backed financially in the transfer window; which says to me, they are now writing ...

Re: In or Out?

The players are more than good enough. The system is shit. The tactics are shit. The direction is shit. A change is needed. We are not going to progress playing the way we are, it is just not right for our current position, and if Stam refuses to see this then he has to be the change.

Re: The more or less halfway poll

As a club, we need to be pushing on and moving forward. So far, this season has been backwards. I do not understand Stam. Why did he change the team again on Saturday? Why did he bring Blackett back in? It's almost like he gets us safe using a team he doesn't want, and then goes back to the team he ...

I just hope we don't end up selling him on the cheap to those cants West Ham. Really despise that club. Cants.

Re: The Rest of 2017

Depends if Stam oxf*rd about with the team again or not. If he brings Blackett into any of these matches, we'll probably lose. If he sticks Beerens up front, we won't score and will most likely go on and lose. He seems to have stumbled onto an almost effective team these last two games, so hopefully...

I'd rather have Pulis than Stam at the moment. At least the players would understand the system. #hooof

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (a) sponsored by 12 Parkinsons

How the oxf*rd can he pull Illori of 30 minutes into a game for being not very good... yet Blackett is still employed at the club?

Don't understand.

Stam is stealing a living as much as Blackett is. They should both oxf*rd off.

Re: In or Out?

I cant work out if the issue is the manager or the club. I really can't remember the last time we scouted a transfer window for what we wanted/needed in the squad. Instead, we hired a lot of journeymen, primarily midfielders. Each time we change the manager, they feel the need to add another 5 nobo...

Re: Sheffield Utd - Back from the game

You have to question your loyalties when you call a decent away win a 'blip'. Have a word. In the context of this season, it is a blip. So should I just bury my head in the sand and ignore the dreadful string of results, the pathetic performances, the awful team selections, the baffling formations ...

Re: In or Out?

His dutch mate Koeman looks like he won't survive. Just shows, you can have what looks like a great team on paper but put a dutch system in place, the opposition puts a high press in and your f#cked and ineffective. He will change nothing next week and it will be the same old sh+t. De Boer and the ...

Re: Sheffield Utd - Back from the game

I think he needs to go. He showed yesterday that the Leeds result was a blip, as he would rather go back to the bad old way rather than play an untested striker. Surely the shape/formation that played against Leeds with a different striker is better that the oxf*rd shambles that yesterday was? A shi...

Re: Gunter

Whilst I was thinking about it I had a look at Gunter's crossing accuracy stats: This season it's 9%, compared to 56% for Blackett and 25% for Obita (from 23, 18 and 8 crosses respectively). Across their Reading Championship careers it works out roughly like this: Player / 90 min Equiv / crosses / ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Norwich City (h) sponsored by going for the "lack of 1st half goals" record

Would be tempted to put Quinn on the bench as left back cover. Stam must really hate him though. I really rate Quinn. I know it's been a while since he's played, but surely he can't be any worse than Beerens or Blackett? I'm beginning to get really oxf*rd off with Stam, his stubborness and refusal ...

Yup. And I still don't understand how we made it the play off final playing the same dreary negative football. I will gladly bet a lot that if we play the same way throughout this season we will finish an awful lot lower than 3rd. I used to love the SSC way of playing. Get it out to the wing, take ...

Wasn't there, but reading these comments it seems like the same old same old from last season. Ponderous build up and no cutting edge? A passing/possession game is only any good if played at pace, otherwise it is just tedious and gives the oppo too much time to get themselves back into shape and th...
