MATCH REPORT: Oxford United 2-1 Plymouth Argyle

We welcome Olly Howells to TBFUTH to report on another win for the mighty yellows.

Oxford managed to hold on to the top spot in League Two and keep their 100% record intact thanks to a three-minute salvo from Deane Smalley midway through the first half. This was despite a surprisingly lacklustre second half performance from the U’s, probably influenced by the loss of both Deane Smalley and Jake Forster-Caskey due to injury at half time.

PREVIEW: Plymouth Argyle Home (25/08/12)

With Oxford currently sitting top of the embryonic League Two table, we welcome Plymouth Argyle to the Kassam next.

Plymouth have come a long way since their visit last season, which resulted in a 5-1 tonking. At the time, Argyle had to send out what was essentially a youth team because they couldn't afford a full senior team. Now the club has stabilised since James Brent's takeover and managed to secure Football League safety with a 1-1 draw against Oxford back in April.

MATCH REPORT: Oxford United 2-0 Southend United

We welcome Tom Bruce to give his thoughts on Oxford's impressive victory over Southend United.

Oxford fired themselves to the top of the table with an impressive 2-0 victory over a strong Southend side. The result, and subsequent league position, added gloss to a thoroughly professional performance. While the sending off of Southend's Michael Timlin after half an hour clearly changed the game, the U's were able to capitalise, something that they have historically struggled to do.

PREVIEW: Southend United Home (21/08/12)

As is often the case at the start of the season the games are coming thick and fast. The Kassam hosts its first league match of the season with the visit of a Southend side who, much like Saturday's opponents, are eying promotion.
