Mossfinn Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossfinn Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Another bore draw. Oxford just cannot score, the Dags win 3-2 and now we are 4 points behind. Good Luck Moss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiPauly Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 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??

Mossfinn Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossfinn Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossfinn Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 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 Moss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiPauly Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 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 !!!

Mossfinn Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) 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 Moss Edited January 24, 2007 by Mossfinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swindonabroad Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossfinn Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossfinn Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossfinn Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 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 Moss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
