I am actually a bit emotional. Don’t often feel like crying at the end of the game

Ben3

Good half. For once a good team visit HQ, we’ll do well to hold them out.

But top of the league? I say it every week…there is nothing to fear in this league

Ben3

Fair play the club is having a bumper four weeks in terms of income

(Not a new stand needed as the ground won’t be full today…just a reconfiguration of who goes where!)

Ben3

I don’t disagree with RCS countdown or DC’s number of wins but the key stat is…are we within 3 points of safety when we play Stevenage? If we stay within three points (after our dreadful start) that’s basically a miracle. Hang in there boys, we’ve had easy games in december and will have hard ones i...

Ben3

Regarding Pett keep in mind he's spent his entire career in league two at pretty unfashionable clubs and was released after one season from a side that had just got promoted. He's been a great addition for us but I can see why other league one clubs may have over looked him. Seems he also had an of...

Ben3

Look, nobody will say a bad word about Russ. But in his role…well, let’s hope he gets some ‘help’!!

Ben3

We do seem to have a glass ceiling where we can't get over 6000 for a league game but as others have said that's very likely down to the lack of seats. If we had bigger capacity I'm sure overall attendance would have been higher tonight, is it worth maybe putting a temp stand in the paddock/canteen...

I feel sorry for the real fans. There’s about 500 who are the core, who love that club, who’ve worked tirelessly to keep it going. They have more in common with us than they have difference. Everyone can see what’s coming. The circus on the hill just descends into the inevitable. They’ll go bust; th...

Ben3

Yes, so the availability or not of seats made no difference…but by giving reading more seats the home ends were more crowded and therefore a better atmosphere. Funny - with my plan of swapping ends reading would’ve have had 2,200 tickets and we’d have had more seats. So todays attendance would’ve be...

Ben3

Pett was awesome tonight. Surely he could play a league up from us?

Ben3

The referee wins an award for worst decision of the season. Lloyd being grappled for a full minute (I watched it unfold). Ref puts whistle to his lips - hallelujah, at last he’s seen what’s been going on!! But no - free kick against the angelic innocent. Absolutely the worst decision I’ve ever seen ...

Ben3

Reading fans were winding up to boo them off. They’ve been awful and us completely dominant. And then that

Ben3

Wow. Best 45 minutes in a long time. Then two of the worst.

Football huh? Such a stupid, stupid game

Ben3

Yes confident but nervous.

2-0 with 6,001 in attendance

Ben3

Yes, I don’t think it’s a simple solution, and it’s easy for me to suggest it without having to sort out the practicalities. However, at present fans mix whilst coaches block whaddon road waiting for away fans…how is that preferable to coaches waiting for them at the end of the car park near the exi...

Ben3

It’s time to flip ends. Let the away team have the PRE and block one of CF giving them about 2200 tickets, and give us the WR end and the rest of the CF.

Better income for us and away fans won’t mind standing….and better experience for home fans to keep them coming back. It must be possible

Ben3

Bradbury is the most unluckiest player in the squad. In my eyes, it's the one position we seem to have good players, and Bradbury keeps the bench warm. He gives his all his positioning is excellent, he can play a bit on the floor, and that makes up for his lack of pace. Before DC arrived it appeare...

Ben3

I like this site (although it’s not the same since Ben Version 4:0 left). I don’t agree with everyone but the conversation is generally quite sensible. I get bored sometimes and try to stir the pot, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who does that. I also only comment on games I’ve gone to as a matte...

Ben3

He spoke well.

Such a contrast to the absolute train wreck that is Troy deeney who took the opportunity of his interview to trash his striker for missing a chance and the bloke who was sent off for ‘not having a brain’.

The circus on the hill keeps giving

Ben3

Thought we were losing the midfield a bit by half time and needed Pett. Hope it was tactical rather than an injury to Sercs? I wondered if it was preplanned with Reading 3 days away along with Williams for Ferry I’d guess ‘semi planned’. Sercs didn’t have his best half of football ever and also we ...

Ben3

Shrewsbury awful Referee awful Result wonderful and I’m starting to believe we might just escape. A LONG way to go but we’re just grinding results out. The four player block/tackle on the edge of our box, followed by Williams geeing up the Wyman’s….thats turning-point stuff. We need fear no team in ...

Ben3

Tony ‘Coops’ Cooper passed away this week. He played before my time but I knew him socially and he was a lovely chap.

I am hoping the club will hold a minutes silence on Boxing Day. If anyone has his records for the club (appearances, years, goals etc) I would love to see them

Ben3

A good point against what was (and this is becoming a theme) absolutely appalling opposition. First half was as bad as you’ll ever see, they’d give Oxford a good game that’s for sure! The quality of the league this season is so poor. Shame we couldn’t hold out for a bit longer second half as I reck...

Ben3

Oh dear. Confused has been on the pop again

Oh dear ihearye/confused . It’s such a shame to see this

Ben3

They’ve done one of two things wrong: 1) played an ineligible player due to complexity of loanees. Wouldn’t be first club to do that, rare but not unheard of 2) more seriously, manipulated the ‘emergency loan’ of their goalkeeper. You’re allowed to get an emergency loan keeper if you have no other o...

Ben3

That is sad. I remember cag through this site but never met him in person.

RIP

Ben3

In the first 30 minutes today Oxford didn’t leave their half. I’ve never seen that before at whaddon road . (Am I correct - yes I am. The only time they left their half was when the goalkeeper kicked the ball down field). We did well to win, of course we did! But that’s the worse side I’ve seen here...

Ben3

Look - it’s good to win. But the opposition today was national league standard. At best. They just smacked the ball forward and they had no strategy, game plan etc. I can’t remember seeing a worse team here since we entered the professional league. They were woeful from 1-11 We did ok. We beat them ...

Ben3

Haha Oxford are a terrible team. Of course I’m chuffed we won but they are the worst team I’ve ever seen. And their ‘fans’ completely silent

I could turn out 11 people I know to beat that. They were so, so bad

Ben3

Is it me or is the atmosphere a bit...weird. Before the sending off, even. Just like the crowd is a bit detached from what's going on. VERY weird. I think it’s because we expected Oxford to be good and they’re utterly awful…and their fans haven’t made a peep of noise. (Also don’t underestimate the ...

Ben3

Obviously the worst team to play here this season (30 minutes in) - but can anyone remember a WORSE team coming here in the professional era?

God Oxford are completely awful. The dictionary doesn’t allow enough words to say how bad they are

Ben3

I’ve decided he’s worth £375,999 (I have no experience or skill in that - it’s just what me and a few mates agreed on Facebook). If he isn’t sold for that at the exact moment i decide then I’ll be calling for the board to resign. Sack the board - me and my mates have had a really good think on Faceb...
