End Of Season Awards A richly-deserved clean sweep of awards following a fantastic season! As expected, we dominate in the Team of the Season with five players in there. That Baldock-Roofe combination down the right has been unstoppable for us this season, providing 43 assists between...

April/May Update The usual suspects of Roofe, Walker and Hylton make it a strong end to the season, the Newport defeat aside, which means the following was somewhat inevitable: Yep, we win the title to ensure promotion to League One in my debut season. The board wanted a top-half finish...

March Update A great month with just the one unexpected blip at Barnet. The results against Plymouth and Leyton Orient, two fellow promotion-chasers, are the best of the month. Harry Kewell's Argyle were given a good going over on their own turf and Orient went ahead early before we put in...

February Update We take the lead three times at Exeter and throw it away three times, ultimately settling for a point. We then find ourselves 2-0 down at bottom of the table Morecambe but manage to salvage something, although I'm not happy about such a poor result against a poor team. After...

January Update Not bad but, again, our inability to kill teams off is letting us down with three straight draws in the league to end the month. The draw at Portsmouth was fortunate as they were by far the better side and dominated from start to finish but I'd have expected to get the better...

December Update Another distinctly average month, with progress in the JPT the only real positive. We lose out in a topsy-turvy contest at League One Doncaster in the FA Cup, succumbing to an 86th-minute winner from Nathan Tyson. Immediately, we respond by racing into a 3-0 lead at HT...

November Update An up and down month with about as many positives as negatives. We concede a last-minute equaliser at Darlington, giving us an unnecessary replay that we could really have done without given that we've spent most of the season with midweek games thus far and the rest would...

October Update Matchday 11: Accrington Stanley v Oxford United A big win gets us back on track and sets the tone for a month in which we play seven games. Hylton is back on form with yet another hat-trick to edge closer to 20 goals for the season whilst Oztumer continues to impress in an...

September Update Round 1 - Johnstone's Paint Trophy: Exeter City v Oxford United I rested a number of first team players after a busy first month as I'm not too fussed with the JPT. Roofe, Lundstram and Hylton all sit this one out. We were terrible in the first half, but the red card to...

Matchday 4: Mansfield Town v Oxford United A shocking first-half display had us staring down the barrel of a first league defeat of the season but a slight tweak and a rollocking at half-time turned the tide. Walker capitalised on an underhit backpass to halve the deficit before Wright got...

Afternoon, all. I've been reading the site for a while as I enjoy looking at the stories of other players but haven't had much time to play myself. I've managed to find a couple of hour spare to get a save going in the last few days and, after much deliberation, I've chosen Oxford United as I...
