Squad

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.

Match

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.

Squad

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.

Squad

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.

Match

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.

Match

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.

Squad

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.

Squad

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.

Squad

Words at Oxford United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ciaron Brown 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.

Squad

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.

Match

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 ratings

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.

Market

Oxford United turn down Leicester City for Hidde ter Avest

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Tempers go at Oxford United

Brian De Keersmaecker 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.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Oxford United

2 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

Words at Oxford United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jack Currie 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.

Match

Siriki Dembélé’s goal not enough for Oxford United

Siriki Dembélé scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Norwich City, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Cameron Brannagan

“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.

Market

One of our own: Charles Pearson joins the Oxford United first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Charles Pearson is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

One of our own: Jack Harris joins the Oxford United first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jack Harris is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Oxford United buy the years ahead of Peter Amidu Acquah

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market

Brighton come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Oxford United did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Brian De Keersmaecker signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Brian De Keersmaecker and Oxford United agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Oxford United

Brian De Keersmaecker 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.

Squad

Sam Long has been here 14 seasons

232 appearances across 14 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad

Cameron Brannagan stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Cameron Brannagan and Oxford United agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

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.

Squad

Brian De Keersmaecker 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.

Market

Owen Dale attracts admirers

The name of Owen Dale has come up in conversations Oxford United were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market

Still no ink between Oxford United and Jack Currie

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Oxford United, another week without a signature from Jack Currie.
