Cov's heads are gone, that said they should have had a penalty 10 minutes ago. Could see them bottling promotion at the rate they're going.

Even when they were winning thought they were riding their luck somewhat.

Wouldn't be surprised if they blow it.

Leicester V West Brom tonight.

West Brom, being only 3 points infront of us, clearly have issues and could become unlikely participants in a relegation battle. Not sure where Leicester are up to with points deductions, but if the got the rumoured max of -9 would put them behind us.

mental that nothing has been decided re that yet

They will end up protesting the decision and getting it applied to next season instead

Sacking season in full swing around the leagues.

Ryan Mason sacked by WBA

That's what properly run clubs do

[davulsukur]

It looks like WBA trod a similar path to us. Sold good players (Fellows for £10m, Heggem for £14m) with the aim largely to "reduce the average age of the squad", employed a manager who's been claiming they're better than their results show as the stats point to more shots, more chances created, small margins, only losing games by a goal etc. despite results being poor

They are 3 points better off and have 2 more wins than us but at least the club have realised this isn't working and have binned him off. Ismael will take us down and still be here.

Sacked with 3 wins in there last 10.

Meanwhile here we have won 1 in our last 10 and we limp on.

Figured it was a matter of time for Mason. Every time they won a match they went right back to losing. Rookie manager as well so no credit in the bank. A big risk that definitely hasn't paid off for them.

Or it will be implemented towards the end of the season once they are mathematically safe therefore with no risk attached to anyone.

*cliche alert*

“This felt like the right place at the right time. Oxford United are a Club with good foundations, ambition, and a playing group with significant potential, and that matches exactly where I am as a coach.

“I want my teams to work hard, attack with purpose, and play with a clear identity. Everyone has to understand their role, be accountable, and deliver consistently.

“I can’t wait to get out onto the grass and begin working with the players and staff to help this Club push forward this season and beyond.”

[DE.]

Huh, I always thought it was better to be lazy, attack without purpose and play with a muddled identity. You learn something new every day.

Made little difference to Luton last year when he went into a struggling side and failed to keep them up so strange that Oxford are going down the same route with a weaker squad than Luton had. Unless they're putting one eye on next season potentially being in League One.

Nah, you don't plan for the future. That's a mugs game.
