Oxford United 0 Bristol Rovers 2 (Brown pen 55, Richards 90+5) (From Banbury Cake)

Since this time last year - two out of ten for performance for this once proud club? No, one out of ten - relegation form

We just seem to score. All these chances missed again. Not looking good. Let's hope this not a gradual slide down & out. It has happened before.

Wilder time for you to go!!! We are s**t!!! poor tactics, very poor players!! Brought to the club by you Mr wilder. Face it you've ran out of idea's to take us forward. Lenegan you're just to blame as well. Investing in the areas of the club that are pointless!! And now we have a tired and weak first team!?!?! and on a parting note. Glad I didn't renew my season ticket at the beginning of the season. And I bet hundreds are feeling the same as well!! Rant over!!

Wilder out. This had gone on long enough

queue the excuses, Weather, Pitch, Injuries, Players, Supporters, Ref, Ect, Ect,
Ect, CW look in the mirror, now you are looking at the problem.

I've had enough.
That was awful today....Wilder has brought in too many poor players and must noe be sacked ASAP to avoid us dropping further..

Rovers stole 3 points today, Why didnt we play for 90minutes instead of just the last 45.. Thank god Richards got injured at least Parker showed some welcome energy and no little skill. But we must be the only side in this division that can create so many chances and fail to score. Its not all the managers fault the players must own up to their failings.

Lee Cox has gone to Plymouth, how could we let a good player go like him go, we need players like him to make the play offs.

No desire from the board for football all about Rugby.

This isn't about the play offs any more, it hasn't been since October. This is about a respectable finish. Something we will not accomplish under wilder.

this club is in a mess today was awful from the first whistle to the end all these injuries is the clubs fault for signing players that were already injured and not to have medicles is one big "JOKE"we must be the laughing stock of this league regarding this issue and the attendance was bad coz if you take away rovers 1,900 it would barely make 5,500 until wilder and his crew leave this club this will only get worse lenegan is a rugby fan not a football fan which is a shame for one a proud club .....

Absolute rubbish all day, no speed, no idea and certainly no way we were going to score, excuses are long exhausted and time to cut our losses, out with the complete management structure and let's get a forward thinking coach, at least eight, yes 8 of our alleged first team are not even conference level, McCormick looks a good competitor to give Clarke some competition, Batt, Davis, Wright, Constable could stay, the rest I would rather see leave.

Clear out time all round, new impetus needed.

Matt Green, you remember him CW, he got a hat trick in an hour today, oh and Adam Murray, remember him, he got another one as well, players you thought we're not good enough are playing well and scoring.

Please, never again play long ball again to start or else I will not be attending any more games .
Have heard its costing oufc 500 thousand a year to play at the Kassam and this is going up despite sharing with London welsh , the pitch is **** and I personally never liked the ground as much as the manor . The club needs a new home ASAP . Harsh result today , but we are miles away from holding are own in league 1 .

Wilder is a dead man walking

Wilder has to go as soon as possible.

He is killing this club.

Where is CW's number one fan Big Yellow Scarf? I really don't understand why Lenagan is keeping Wilder on. He is taking this club backwards.If Wilder had any dignity he'd walk now along with his backroom team. They've failed..

we are rubbish

Never been pro or anti wilder , but believe Kassam is draining away the clubs money , money the club will require to operate at a higher level. A new manager would have the same problem as wilder . Sure there may be a manager who can achieve success with the present squad who has better management ,motivational and coaching skills , if so who and at what cost? Eddie Howe got his break at afcb from the clubs Center of excellence and now his record is second to Sir Alex ferguson . My point is it does not have to be a big name to achieve results, but investment from the chairman is a must , who knows even if chris wilder will sign a new deal at oxford. The oxford chairman has many issues to sort to get the club into the championship and I hope he can !

BigAlBiker, is this the same McCormick that 2 weeks ago you did'nt want at our club? Hypocrite! And as regards Adam Murray he wanted to leave because of family reasons so get your facts right.

I really can't see Wilder being offered a new contract -Lenagan has hinted that promotion is the only thing that will keep Wilder in a job and I think that chance has gone now. Agree about Kassam he's happy to see the club rot after being hounded out.

According to CW we dominated the game and were unlucky etc. I must have watched a different game because I thought we were appalling, again! We just don't look like scoring, have no pace, struggle to find a yellow shirt. Overall we are a very poor outfit in the lowest league of English football.

If CW is still there next season, I dread to think what the attendances will be. I think the season ticket renewals will speak volumes this year.

Wilder out, now.

.....Man the lifeboats ... the ships going down !!!!!!!!!!! and the band (CW) plays on ,,,,

Wilder is white noise these days - Blame anyone but himself surrounded by lapdogs and stuck in a bubble of his own delusion. He's failed and majority of his signings have disappointed. The players seem to have grown tired of Wilder's limitations and fans have grown tired of his ridiculous post match excuses.

The longer he stays the more disappointed I am in Lenagan for doing nothing to change this miserable mediocrity.

I still don't want the keeper here I want Max to play, Adam Murray moved as CW insisted all players live within an hour or so drive to the club and an agreement could not be reached, so for personal reasons like he didn't want to move he left.

Better?

Still makes no difference, CW has to go as all we have are Donkeys.

Something is seriously wrong with our club. Players have stopped trying apart from a few, because they know they are on the way out. Goodbye Mr Wilder, thanks for Wembley play off final but its time to go.... OUFC

Quite right Doc. The police only made three arrests...should have added Constable, Potter, Batt and Wilder for taking money under false pretences?

No promotion this time for either of us - yours a repeat of 1990 (and you know it) - ours for reasons of being inept. My fellow Yellows will not waste time with you but as a sad old git, I have nothing better to do - we have a lot in common

You lot are down to 2 chances of promotion - very little or no chance - ours, well a lot more positive, even with the ups and downs of our roller coaster ride of a season, if we are still there after all that has gone on, it will prove how resilient we are in the face of adversity.

Very very poor yet again get rid of barn door constable think my nan could do better

You know what is really happening Chish, me old mucker - it will end in tears for you - and not bacause of what happens on the pitch (well done - great on field season - very envious of THAT) - you aren't listening hard enough

Could be Oldun - not sure if 1990 is good comparison though - Won the playoffs to the Premier then to be demoted through illegal payments - you know the same payments as Chelsea and Tottenham alledgedly did, but not taken to task over them.
There may have been some overspending recently but don't think there has been the 'brown envelope ' payments unless you have some insider knowledge.
We are concerned who and what our new consortium is all about - rumours abound - mainly ' glass half empty ' type.

Last seven games of the previous season, now Burton, Southend and Bristol Rovers, all average sides. Sadly CW has completely lost it. His interview with Radio Oxford sounded like a depressive, no wonder he can't motivate his players. Playing a loan player -Richards - before Smalley is poor management; how would you like to go to work tomorrow and find the temp is preferred to you? Potter needs a motivational mentor and as for playing a ridiculous long ball game on a pitch which was better than last Tuesday, just watch Tom Ince dance through Blackpool's quagmire to realise that there is no longer any structure or leadership in our management team. Even your interview with Raynes reflects this as he refers to the influence of Duberry -- no mention of the oh so quiet Melville. Even when the average Richards needed replacing no one had a sense of urgency in preparing Potter to come on. It is both deeply sad and intensively annoying that all Oxford United supporters have all lost another year of our footballing lives.

He's a little nowhere man
Sitting in his Nowhere Land
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.

I assume you mean, we just "don't" score Joe. I assume that because we DON'T SCORE. I totally agree with many other posters on this site that Wilder is to blame, yes the players have a responsibility on the pitch but they look totally confused and don't appear to know what to do, even Constable doesn't seem to know where the goal is. I hear from people who have seen them in training that he struggles to find the net then and that is against our own poor defence. Why I blame CW is because he signed
the vast majority of the players and players he hasn't signed like Crocombe for example he doesn't appear to want and he (in my opinion) is better than the current incumbent. I have supported this club for over 50 years and will continue to do so but am so despondent with the managements tactics, the state of the clubs finances, the way Kassam still dominates the club and the very poor players currently employed by the club, throw in Lenaghan and we need to throw out the whole lot and quick before we are travelling to places like Forest Green again. How close are we to playing Oxford City home and away.? We need something done desperately quickly.

PS. No offence meant to City, I have seen them a couple of times this season and they are a decent side.

How the bluddy hell did we go all those league games undefeated, just recently? You know what? I smell a rat somewhere!
