Similarly, do you think we’re looking more towards short term loans or do you think theres a chance we might look to dip into the league 1 highest performers so far this season?

I’m an American who will be in town for one day and would love to purchase a team kit or team shirt. Can I purchase anything with the team logo in town or do I need to go to the team shop? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, anyone interested, this is slightly long-winded and vague so my apologies:

I got into a conversation yesterday in the stands about leaving early in games, I didn't think I'd ever left a game early and did end up staying until the final whistle against Boro, although I can now remember going early as a child just once.

It was (fairly) cold and my Dad made the decision to leave what we think was a cup game before it went to either extra-time or penalties, because I was shivering and it was a late night in the week at the Kassam. Neither of us know what competition it was, but it was likely anywhere from 11-14 years ago, and I seem to recall that we were 2 goals down and brought it back to 2-2 quite late in the second half (this might not be absolutely accurate).

Basically hoping another fan might know which match I'm talking about and who we were playing, and indeed what the result was, because it's one of the first games I can remember watching live and I haven't been able to definitively find out what happened ':D

Rate the ability of the players in the Oxford United squad in the table below on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being the worst player in the squad, 5 being average and 10 being the best. All ratings should be relative to each other, e.g. it’s fine to have multiple players with the same rating. What stats or factors helped you determine these ratings?

This is a tough league where every point is going to be difficult to come by. It's been a tough run for the boys on the pitch but I've been thinking about this a lot and we, the fans, were absolute shit on Saturday. We were taken out of the game after about 10 minutes, loads of people left early, and those remaining only came back into when Dane scored. It wasn't quite as negative as it got at times last year but it was just such a flat atmosphere with barely any excitement and I felt it brought the team down a little (or at least didn't raise them up)

With the injuries, it feels like the players are running on fumes a little bit but that's when we need to back them the most and give them that little bit of extra energy in the critical moments. Win lose or draw I want to see the kassam become an impenetrable fortress once again!

Not even getting into how much we miss Cam, we currently are missing dembele and Edwards who are our best wingers imo (though maybe Tyler is ahead of or even with Edwards) plus placheta and Phillips who are 4th and 5th best wingers...

Does anybody have any good ones? I'm not setting the bar very high with the below:

Shrieke Dembele Mateo Corboo

How we feeling?

Definitely a difficult few games without a win, injuries hitting us hard but still managing to keep the points ticking upwards is a positive. We are still in a decent position and a win on Saturday would be very timely but as we know, there aren't any easy games for us in this league.

Intrigued to see what happens with vaulks going forward as he's clearly not having a great time of it and the fans have turned on him mostly (myself included). Not sure it's his fault but the reliance we have on that 6 role in our play style is so huge so if he ain't good enough for it then we need to think about something else methinks (I'll email Des)

Hello all, just to say, some of you using the official Reddit app may have seen for this sub that there is a tab for "Chat" next to "Feed". Or on web you should see it in the sidebar on the right hand side of the screen under Community Chat Channels. This is a new Reddit feature that is still in beta I believe.

It enables subreddits to create private or public chat channels within Reddit for members to discuss relevant things. We have a chat channel "Yellows Chat" that should be open to most subscribers here so if you want to join in with the whopping 5 members we currently have, please feel free!

PK didn't look great. Not sure if I was just watching him more but there were a few moments where he almost just looked lost. Didn't think he was horrible but definitely the weak point in the back line today.

Ciaron Brown seems to have found a new level in the air and on the ball. He's gotten to the point where any ball vaguely near him and I just assume he's going to win the header, even if he needs to literally jump half his body over the other player to do so. He's also clearly doing a lot more with the ball, almost pushing up next to Vaulks sometimes. And when he has the ball I'm generally not full of dread like I used to be when he's running with it or passing.

Ben Nelson looks like our strongest defender at this point. He was everywhere we needed him, made every interception and tackle we needed him to and is also our most confident CB on the ball. For me he was the player of the match today. He's got a bright future ahead of him and I desperately hope we can hang onto him long enough to enjoy some of it (ie I'll be crushed if he gets recalled in Jan).

Scarlett looked the best he's looked for us from the moment he stepped on the pitch. I was impressed with his runs and his ability to keep the pressure on them long before the goal. He absolutely earned that goal with everything he put in for the preceding half hour and I was thrilled to see it was him that got it. What a hero

They shut down our wing play really well. Consistently two defenders on Tyler whenever he had the ball. Dembele looked dangerous with the ball but never had space and they did a good job of stopping the ball before it got to him in the first place. Felt like they were trying to force to play either with full backs overlapping or through the middle more. I would have liked to see a bit more from Ruben and Idris but both were just okay imo. It looked like Des made some adjustments in the last 20 minutes or so and I hope they are something we can do effectively because otherwise I'd be a little worried about teams copying the baggies plan for containing us.

Overall I felt a draw was fair and am pretty thrilled with it. Bring on Derby!
