Re: The rest of the season

There's not much more we can do to stay in League 1. I don't see us signing a free-agent striker, I don't think we have the funds to. It could all be back in our own hands after tomorrow night's games as well, so a bit early to be throwing in the towel. Well if the club isn't allowing Darrell to lo...

Re: Free agents

Absolutely, I mentioned the other day that for the sake of two months wages and a L1 status bonus it's a no brainer. I'd be amazed if we haven't had a few training with us at the very least. It must be soul destroying for the defence and midfield to be working their butts off to have a strike force ...

Re: Information for fans travelling to Oxford on Saturday

I know that most teams have prolonged celebrations when they score, but can it be counter productive as perhaps it was today as it gave Oxford time to gather their thoughts.
Sometimes maybe it's better to get on with it whilst the opposition is still shell shocked.

Re: Oxford United v Cheltenham Town

Given he has barely picked him until there was no other option, I suggest not a lot. why’s he at the club then? We needed a big striker with experience and probably signed the one we able to afford and who was willing to sign. Same we way we end up with most signings. Because Nuttall is a big unit ...

Cool Hand Luke beware

New rules for next season. On Saturday the International Football Association Board (IFAB) met to discuss various law changes.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Charlton Athletic

It would be a dereliction of duty if we're not looking to see if we can sign a short term deal for a striker.

Surely we can tempt someone with 2 months wages plus a League 1 status brucie bonus.

I would start Nuttall and Keena on Tuesday. Think the forwards look completely gassed and need a break. Shake up the midfield too - Pett, Kinsella and Harrop. Would love to have Thomas on from the start but unless we change formation that won't happen. I'm just praying that Rob Street might return ...

Going off topic I followed the former Snooker World champion Ray Reardon
into the chair a few weeks ago and he was really chuffed as he'd made a century break at the age of 90 the previous week.

Sorry.

Re: Prize money

Steve, as the subs have stayed at £5 per month since the 500 club's inception would increasing these to maybe £7 pm be something to think about given inflation has diminished the value of the sums raised.
