Why Home Form Will Always Be a Problem Under Chris Wilder

One factor that has been frequently remarked upon this season is the considerable difference between Oxford's home and away form. Saturday's miserable 1-0 defeat to Chesterfield was our seventh at the Kassam Stadium this season, meaning we have taken just 29 points from a possible 60 at home – less than half. In direct contrast, our form away from home would put us in the top seven in the league...

MATCH REPORT: Oxford United 0-1 Chesterfield

The play-off charge we had been beginning to get excited about came to a stuttering halt as Oxford found themselves beaten at home to a mediocre Chesterfield side. The curse of the Kassam struck once again it seems, as this result means that Oxford have now been beaten seven times at home this season. No wonder so many are feeling disgruntled. Oxford looked to get on the front foot from the kick-off...

Ultimate Support Ladies Day

Oxford United Ladies are preparing for the biggest game in their history...again. After overcoming Newcastle United in the fourth round of the FA Women's Cup, the ladies now find themselves up against WSL side Everton in a match which could be of crucial importance to their bid for a place in the expanded Women's Super League next year. More than 700 turned out for the Newcastle game and Oxford...

PREVIEW: Chesterfield Home (16/03/13)

A season that many of us chose to write off weeks ago now appears to have some life in it after all! Tuesday's narrow victory over Barnet thanks to an injury time header from Michael Raynes made it five wins from the last seven for United and 16 points from a possible 21. The gap between us and the play-offs is now just five points and with eight games still to play everything is still very much...

MATCH REPORT: Oxford United 1-0 Barnet

It's amazing the difference a last-minute winner can make. I had been preparing to lay into the Oxford United team after another lacklustre home performance and then up pops none other than Michael Raynes with a goal deep into stoppage time to gift us with three undeserved points. As it happens, I still wasn't mightily impressed with what I saw tonight, but I would happily take that kind of performance...

MATCH REPORT: Oxford United 2-4 Swindon Town

Oxford’s ladies lost for the first time since the opening day of the season as they were knocked out of the League Cup by Swindon Town. Maybe they have been distracted by their incredible FA Cup run, or perhaps they were missing the presence of captain Sahara Osborne-Ricketts who was sidelined after picking up an injury last week, but this definitely had the feel of an ‘After the Lord Mayor’s Show’...

MATCH REPORT: Oxford United 2-1 Port Vale

By Youcef El-Barhdadi, What is it with home games against Port Vale, eh? From half-way line strikes to conceding an equalizer in the 92nd minute to scoring the winner in the 93rd minute, when Oxford United and Port Vale meet at the Kassam Stadium, the neutral is rarely left unsatisfied. Oxford went into the game today with seven points from a possible nine, with the two wins being away from...

PREVIEW: Port Vale Home (02/03/13)

It's difficult to know which Oxford side will turn up against Port Vale: the diabolical one we've seen in such recent games as against Fleetwood, or the one capable of beating league leaders Gillingham away from home. The venue for the match might give us some indication of what to expect – we've not won at home since New Year's Day, picking up just two points from a possible 12, while away from...
