Marked for Matt Ingram

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Owen Dale

Successful dribbles: 38. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match16 Sep 2026

Peter Amidu Acquah sends Oxford United through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Peter Amidu Acquah obliged against Oldham Athletic. 2‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Oxford United.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A fracture rules Matt Ingram out for 66 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Oxford United will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Peter Amidu Acquah, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.12

A mark of 8.12 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Jamie Cumming in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Oxford United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces21 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Stanley Mills

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

One of those days for Stanley Mills

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.17, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Ole Romeny was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.06. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Too much change too quickly at Oxford United

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad14 Sep 2026

A fracture rules Matt Ingram out for 75 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Oxford United will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match12 Sep 2026

No end in sight to Oxford United's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Oxford United has to find a result from somewhere.

Match12 Sep 2026

4 matches without a goal for Oxford United

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Aidomo Emakhu runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Fredrik Sjøvold falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Oxford United

Ciaron Brown was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad14 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Brian De Keersmaecker

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market14 Sep 2026

Oxford United bring in an old head

Freire is 37 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

Match12 Sep 2026

No goals between Oxford United and Charlton Athletic

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Charlton Athletic will be the happier side with the point.

A fracture rules Matt Ingram out for 82 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Oxford United will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match5 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Oxford United

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Oxford United are no longer polite ones.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Jamie Cumming in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Oxford United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Oxford United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fredrik Sjøvold is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match5 Sep 2026

3 matches without a goal for Oxford United

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Match5 Sep 2026

Oxford United come up short against Derby County

Derby County left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Matt Ingram breaks a bone — 90 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 90 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Fredrik Sjøvold in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Oxford United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Hidde ter Avest gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match29 Aug 2026

Oxford United and Ipswich Town cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Ipswich Town came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Aidomo Emakhu

Successful dribbles: 8. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tyler Goodrham out for 18 days

The medical room confirms 18 days on the sidelines for Tyler Goodrham, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market24 Aug 2026

Eyes on Hidde ter Avest again

The phone has started ringing about Hidde ter Avest again, and this time the name on the line is Leicester City. Oxford United are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Oxford United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fredrik Sjøvold is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match22 Aug 2026

Middlesbrough take the points off Oxford United

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
