What a win Oxford fans and what a finish to an amazing year. Great start for Rowett. As for Rooney Green Army fans..... Is that his final game? #OUFC & #PAFC fans please let me know.
I’ve been super critical of vaulks’s performances all season, and I believe that to be justified, when we bring in experienced players to perform a function we need and they look completely lost and directly cost us points multiple times I think it’s fair to point some fingers. However, It would be unfair of me to not recognise that his performance today was fantastic. He looked composed, effective, confident, driven and a vocal leader on the pitch. He contributed to moves that resulted in opportunities for us and he was involved defensively effectively also. The thing I was most pleased to see was his vocal presence amongst the team, encouraging players, giving effective instructions and keeping the team focused on the job. At one point I could even hear him clearly from my seat making sure everyone kept their heads and energy up. If that’s the Vaulks we get every week I have faith he will be a major contributing to our eventual success in staying up. Just for the love of god, don’t pass it back to him when there’s nobody behind him.
Excellently written, and Happy New Year. When you think about how poor he was vs Leeds. It's almost like a completely different man has arrived for the last 2 games. Wednesday fans could not believe he was on the bench when we played against them, maybe finally we will see the player they raved about. Big test for everyone today. I am really looking forward to the game today. Can't say that was the case a few weeks ago, where I was dreading some of the games. COYY
@ very big test today indeed. I don’t think we can expect to win, but we should absolutely turn up and get amongst it. Strength at the back, composure when we have a chance or 2, 1-1, points on the road. I’ll see how this ages in about 6 hours 😂
Great review as always Ian,we look like a new team Gary Rowett has installed some confidence in the side,Long looks good,vaults is a different player,both of them hitting long raking balls,Rodriguez looks more assured placheta looks like a player who believes in himself.we we're told he was a tricky winger & now we're seeing it,goodrum doing what goodrum does,this side looks like it believes in it self,I'm not getting carried away though,it's still going to be a fight & scrap to the last day of the seasonbut at least it's in our hand,two games don't make a season,but there is light at the end of the tunnel COYY
Cheers Brett. Happy New Year to you. Really curious if Rowett can turn the away form around. Really looking forward to the game today which I would not have said a couple of weeks ago. Rowett (and it is only 2 games to judge) seems to have just made everything simpler for the Oxford players. I forgot about Rodrigues, but he has played really well in the 2 games too.
These upcoming games will be a big test, breaking that winless away from home record duck will be crucial. Fantastic team performance in general today and special mention to the subs who also looked great. Surely we go to Millwall expecting at least a point. And congrats on 2k Ian!
Thanks Piggy. Happy New Year to you. I am really looking forward to the game today. I am intrigued how Rowett will approach the game. I have a feeling we might win.
Happy new year! Hopefully we can get our first away win of the season today. Plymouth have finally got rid of Rooney. Maybe that will change their fortunes. Good luck to Leeds today. Keep flying high at the top
Good evening Ian, did you notice 9 of the 11 were from last season the last two games and they seem to have that mojo back , Sam looks to stabilise the right side , another great vlog mate , I was shocked when Dez went like others but let's face it we now move forward quickly.
Cheers Graham and Happy New Year. I would have still liked Buckingham to be the manager, but Rowett seems like a decent bloke, and winning your first 2 games helps everyone get on board. Is it too much to ask for 3 in a row? I think that was pretty much the team that started the Norwich game on the opening day. Just shows what a bit of confidence can do as they look much more effective team/squad than they did a few weeks ago.
We do seem a lot more mobile under Rowett as I felt that we were a bit too fixed under Buckingham. Definitely more exciting to watch. Vaulks looks a different player and you’re right that it does restrict Brannagan but he was getting around the pitch pretty well I thought. Interesting to see how we fair at Millwall. The rumour that I heard was a loan to Stevenage, could be nonsense but it makes sense if he is not playing with us, I feel sorry for him. Thanks for your great work and happy new year Ian! Regards Mike.
Cheers Michael and Happy New Year. Looking forward to the game today, very curious to see if Rowett can get this side performing well away from home. I also forget that Brannagan is just coming back from injury himself so maybe he is just getting back to 100%. Wednesday fans tell me a lot about Vaulks and how good he was for them. I thought they were talking about a different player, but maybe we will see the best of him now. COYY
Yes, they were 2 favourable games against teams in really bad form. However, wins have been hard to come by so I think we have every right to celebrate them. It is a massive test today, but I am looking forward to it.
Cheers Ted. Happy New Year to you. It was annoying that those sides also won. Stoke got a surprise win over Sunderland too. Looking forward to todays game though. Would it be too much to ask for 3 wins on the spin?
Argyle fan here responding to your opening comment. Yes we DO want to hear it. More importantly we want the board to hear it, because they appear to be the only ones who don't know that Rooney is useless.
Happy New Year, and thanks for the comment. I never like for my channel to be taking the piss. I genuinely like the opinions of the opposition fans, so didn't want to come across as sticking the boot in. Finally, Rooney has gone and hopefully you can get someone in to turns things around. Who do you want?
Good evening ian happy new year when it arrives. Again thankyou for your latest video lately I have had a hell of a lot of time to think bout things I know that's on the border line of been very dangerous me thinking lmao. But I worked out all oxford need to do is win just another 10 games and we will be safe. Let's be honest i was worried we could get a worse points total than Rotherham last season but thankfully we have nearly surpassed that so that's a goal achieved already lol lol but seriously if we can get between 9/10 more wins then we should be fine, I know it's easier said than done. Happy new year to you and your family and coyys
Happy New Year to you. It is a really hard league. No win has been easy (apart from Plymouth). However, I still maintain we have not had a lot of luck. 0 pens, 0 OG's or deflected goals and no errors by the defence that gift us a goal. At some point you would like to think that would change. I think around 45 points will keep us up, but last season it was more than that. I am looking forward to the game today. Hope Rowett can change the away form.
Another good result. I love the way this team and some of the players keep proving me wrong. I wouldn't have had Rodriguez in the side today or placheta on Boxing Day but they proved their worth in these two games . Kieran Brown absolutely immense. It's between him and pk for player of the season so far. I'm also happy how long makes up for a slight lack of ability with just a tremendous work ethic which seems to infect the other players. I hope we can do it at Millwall and I'll be going up to Preston. Hope we get something up there (by the way did you see Preston's result? I didn't see that coming.) however you noted their improved form in your prediction .. keep up the good work
Cheers Peter. Happy New Year. It feels like a new team, as the players seem refreshed and certainly played with confidence on Sunday. I'm looking forward to the game today, which is a nice change, as I was dreading some of the games during December. Very curious to see how Rowett approaches the game today. Good job going to Preston, I think they have been largely solid in Heckingbottom. They have drew a lot of games where they maybe should have won. Very physical side, and I think that upsets a lot of teams. Anyway fingers crossed for today. Maybe it will be the first away win of the season.
We won’t sack Rooney. it’s frustrating, because our director of football loves him and doesn’t want to get rid of him, no matter the results or controversies. Everyone wants him to go, but our director of football just won’t let him. Great vid mate. 👍
@ thanks! for me it’s Schumacher, he has experience of being with the club before and got us promoted here in the first place, He also started the last season of pretty well with us in 16th I think. So I’d say Schumacher would be the perfect shout.
Great win guys and good report Ian. Did you notice Brown and Placheta scored two games running. I was waiting for Harris to score and then he was substituted. Rooney has been dealt a bad hand…many injuries and confidence wayneing
Cheers Eileen. I did notice the goal scorers. Would it be too much to ask for them to make it 3 from 3 today. Looking forward to the game today. How amazing would it be to get our first away win of the season. Not sure Rooney was dealt a bad hand. Yes they have had injuries, but that wasn't the case at the start of the season, and they still really struggled in virtually every away game. Almost forgot. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
2024 as an Oxford fan- Hope-pessimism-disbelief-optimism-elation-hope-optimism-pessimism-shock- and we end it with cautious optimism. We have to check ourselves though and remember we were playing 2 of the worst 3 or 4 clubs in the division, at home and with the benefit of a new manager bounce but I’m already looking at the next run of fixtures and believe we can realistically hope to pick up points in any of those games all the way up to Burnley away. I couldn’t have said the same a few short weeks ago!
Happy New Year Paul. Hope you and the family are well. Yes it is the full Roller Coaster this year. How many times did we think we were dead and buried in that Promotion season. Cautious Optimism is a good way to put it. I am really looking forward to the game today, whilst a few weeks ago I was dreading games. Plymouth and Cardiff were the perfect opposition, but we needed that confidence boost. Fingers crossed for 2025.
Maybe, if that is the case then I am not sure why he hasn't been given more of a chance. Personally I hope he does go on loan and score a load of goals. Better than not playing for us.
Cheers Snacks. Happy New Year. Feels like a big test today, but I am looking forward to it. It was annoying that Stoke, Hull and Cardiff all won on Sunday though.
Great result but there’s nothing to say we couldn’t have got 6 points from these 2 games with Des. The real test will be Millwall away and if we can get a result there then maybe we can attribute positive change to Gary. At the end of the day we have to support our club and current manager, COYY!
We look a different team, multiple players who looked liked they were out the door in Jan are now some of the best players on the pitch. We would have lost at least one of those games under Des, and probably drawn the other….. Rowett had transformed everything in only a week, imagine what he could achieve after a month or two. Des was taking us down.
I agree with that. Buckingham may well have got wins in these games. Rowett does seem like he has just simplified things a bit, and the 2 holding midfield players has given us more of a solid base. However the away form is where things really need to pick up. I am actually looking forward to the game today. Would it be too much to ask to make it 3 wins from 3 for Rowett. Thanks for the comment and Happy New Year.
💚⚽️💚Plymouth fan here. And the answer to the question is Yes! The short term love affair with our fat little friend is over. The harsh facts were we’ve become a poor team with a novis manager. A shadow of our promotion squad. Good luck to you guys. Financially you’re in the same boat. The Championship elite think we don’t belong. Let’s prove them wrong and drag Pompey with us.
Happy New Year Roger. They were really bad. Not sure Rooney was the worst in history. We have had some bad ones. David Kemp and Graham Rix spring to mind.
Happy New Year to you and obviously to Oxford UNITED that was very well played from all the players let’s get on a roll and bounce up that league. This team is too good to go down come on lads look upwards and onwards. Good luck too you all and the staff at OUFC COME ON YOU YELLOW💛💙💛💙🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Placheta and Brown are on absolute fire
Rooney is sacked soon gonna be replicas of his old clubs
Placheta and Brown on fire
Rooney is getting sacked just like his last clubs
All true.

Well done, Qxford fans - a very deserved win. Pleased to see you heading up the table. Best of luck for Millwall.

Whats going on with Edwards he needs some extended game time.
What’s happening is that he’s leaving in a week. Brilliant player when fit, but sadly 5 fit games a year isn’t going to cut it. 😢
I think Larry is right sadly. The amount of injuries have made him to big of a risk.
Good win and needed with most winning around Oxford. I think Plymouth are down and Shrek is out.
Rooney is out Ian. Yeah, those other teams winning was very annoying. Thanks for the comment and Happy New Year.
