Well it is!! I am absolutely delighted we won tonight but a) why not do it at home? B) why does wilder have to have a pop a result goes in his favour?? (bearing in mind there hasn't been anywhere bear enough results that have) like you say, why can't he just enjoy the win??? OUR favour. The result went in our favour. We're all on the same team. It'd be good for some (both in & out of the club) to remember that. Imagine how good we could be if we all pulled in the same direction. Funny how 'his favour' slipped off the tongue without a second thought...maybe just maybe that is how he has managed to create a divide amongst the supporters with his defensive and unprofessional comments - it feels like him against us and that had been created largely by his own antics and lack of balls to admit when he, yes he is wrong (god forbid!).

Just stop it and enjoy. Divides aren't made by one person if he could be the bigger man (and he should) then so could you. Smile, go on, you might like it.

yep bet the players are chuffed to bits..it ain't been an easy season for any of us.
Most important is that we are nearing the relative SAFETY level of 50 points quite quickly..
4 more points and we can afford to relax a little and play our football away..and ..er at home(the pitch permitting!)
Please God let us win on Saturday and we'll have as many points as we did when we got relegated with 11 more games to go!..we will almost be safe..& stranger things have happened than a late run up the table.

I smiled like a Cheshire Cat when the goal went in and when the final whistle went. However once he had been on spouting his crap it once again left me feeling dejected. I'm not paid to be the bigger man and I'm not paid to get OUR football club promoted. Lets agree to disagree, enjoy the three points, enjoy scum losing and move on to Saturday. Come on you yellows!!!

I just find the attitude to start the negativity all over again after a good win a bizarre one. I just want Oxford to do well, Wilder can personally insult my entire family if he picks up results. People need to get over themselves a bit, but when you don't like someone these things erk I suppose.
As I've said before a bit of positivity might do wonders for our form, it can't hurt can it?

As for all of the negative t*ats who thought we would lose today. 3 clean sheets in a row. A win against the top team. Just proves we ain't shit, just inconsistent. Quit with the negativity for once. Enjoy yourselves. Support the bloody team. You might hate the manager but for heavens sake grow up and support our team rather than pout all the time. If you think the atmosphere is shit, sing up. I'm so chuffed for the players. 100% agree with this

It wasn't negative but just an observation and judging by the comments I wasn't the only one to notice it... We all want oxford to do well, Jesus I don't buy my season ticket in the hope of watching a deflated, dejected side. Yeah let's see if he can prove himself to be consistent...it hasn't happend for the past three years but you never know. I don't not like him, furthermore I will be forever grateful to him for getting us out the conference, however; he makes a rod for his own back with his daft comments, at times he is so desperately unprofessional. How often do you see the top managers having a pop at the supporters who pay the players and his (managers) wages? Positivity, I'd have said the players deserve that much...see you Saturday.

some of you are simply amazing; we get a result we didn't expect and EVERYONE is pleased but then the numpties come out of their holes to have a go at the fans who doubted the chance of winning beforehand. Be honest, we all dreamt of a win but nobody really expected it. Ecstatic as I am with this, it does not make me forget all of the other depressing performances so lets have less of the 'proving right or wrong' pathetic comments. Enjoy tonight and demand that it continues from now on, give the team 100% backing but expect them to do more for the fans. The season so far has been a disgrace - let tonight be the start of the team playing well-enough to make us proud again.

I don't understand what this Wilder out stuff is all about. Today is exactly 2 months until he manages his last game for us. There will be a change in the summer, and the Lenagans will be planning for that now. Wilder will be out in 2 months. He showed last night he can still get results. Of course we need to be more consistent, but a new manager will be in place In the summer, and Wilder will be gone. He won't leave until the end of the season, so wanting Wilder out seems pointless when he is going soon.
If you can't and won't get behind the manager, get behind the players.

Too right. And then knee-jerk as soon as we lose. Same old. I think with our poor form over the last year or so, a reaction to losing is hardly knee jerk, you could almost say those who jump up and have a go at fellow fans after a win is knee jerk, given it's a rare occurrence. This season: Won 13 games, Lost 14 games. Drawn 7 games. But a win is a rare occurrence is it? Don't let the facts get in the way of your argument. Both sides of the 'divide' have as much right to praise/criticise as the other. After a very good win though perhaps the criticism could have waited more than just a few minutes.

Sihath your backing of Wilder is cringeworthy. The bloke had ballsed our season up big time hence our pathetic mid table standing at this point of the season. You can reel off the stats and read them frontwards, backwards, sideways any way you like but it does not take away from the fact that we are what we are - bang average.
Nothing like good enough.
Wilder out. The summer can't come quick enough for me.

Wilder out. The summer can't come quick enough for me. I'm not sorry for backing my team. I wouldn't call that cringeworthy. We won last night. I know you tend to only post about the team when we lose, but last night was a very good result. What I think is more gringeworthy is people who can't seem to bring themselves to say well done to a team and manager who have won a game of football. Last season you were lavishing praise on you 'other' team for failing to get out of the group stages of the CL. You came out with some guff about the Europa League being bigger than the Champions League. This season you've been waxing lyrical about what a wonderful man Ryan Giggs is. If you want to talk about cringeworthy you should be looking closer to home.

Having heard the OTT abuse at games and read some similarly OTT stuff, it's nice to be able to say we aren't that bad even if a few noses get out of joint. This season has been largely forgettable, but its nice to be able to enjoy the win at the team sat in first place and stop the flow of negativity for a short while.
I've been of the belief that Wilder is gone since the day IL officially became Chairman. Because ultimately he'll want his own man in place. When Wilder goes I will thank him for many great memories (Wembley, Scum x 3, Looton) and wish him the very best where he goes next.
Life's too short to get in petty hate campaigns

Anyway, let me correct your post for you. "we get a result we NERPS didn't expect and EVERYONE is pleased but then the numpties FANS come out of their holes to have a go at the fans NUMPTIES who doubted the chance of winning beforehand. Be honest, we all dreamt of a win but nobody really expected it EXCEPT FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN SEE THAT WE CAN PLAY GOOD FOOTBALL ON A DECENT PITCH WITH WIDE PLAYERS PASSING THE BALL, AND AGAINST TEAMS WHO ALSO TRY TO PLAY FOOTBALL". Hadn't you better get back to the Oxvox forum where you, Bob, Trev and Ken can all wallow together in slagging the club off?

Yet another Slappy epic. Glad you are still around. I wish I could have made it to one of those games that you have been watching, it seems I am unlucky because the ones I have used my season ticket on havn't been like that - it is Oxford you have been watching isnt it? It might be worth checking your bus route just in case you have been getting off at the wrong ground !! As for being over with the OxVox forum, well I go there because rightly or wrongly they have something to say; unfortunately you don't. Not to worry though - I'll keep working on the 'give a dog a bone' method, it seems to keep you happy. Anyway enjoy Saturday - how do you think it will go ? Oh no, you don't post anything about the actual football do you ? - sorry !!

We're 9 points off the playoffs with a game in hand over some of the teams above us. I don't understand the defeatist attitude of fans like you. Perhaps it's because you can give up on Oxford's season and concentrate on Man Utd now? Can we expect a load of triumphalist guff when Man Utd win a game? No doubt when they lose it'll be the fault of the referee. How about showing the same support to Oxford?

Last season ourselves, Gillingham and Port Vale were pretty on a par and finished the season in similar positions just outside the playoffs. Both these two teams kicked on this season and our now 1st and 2nd respectively. We on the other hand go backwards and are struggling in mid table. Wilder has to take responsibility for this.
I agree that yesterday was a good result but in my eyes nothing more. We should be getting points at places like Gillingham, not thinking its a bloody miracle.

Surely you should referring to Baldy's obsession with me? Or are you obsessed with my posting habits.

Sorry no but it was an excellent result everyone has to admit that. When you are a mid table team coming off a very lack lustre performance against a poor team to then beat the league leaders, away, against a team we do not have a great record against is an excellent result. I wish we could play like that every week then no one would be unhappy.
Slappy nailed it though if a team tries to play football against us and if the pitch and conditions are good we are capable of beating them. If not we sadly lack the guile to change our game when it doesn't go our way. This in part what makes us so inconsistent. More of a problem is that with the state of our home pitch and our inability to cope with pitches like that (we just give up) now home games are an actual disadvantage. It also means many of our fans do not get to see many of the best performances and results a real contributor to our negativity.
I was confident we would not finish lower than mid table and that looks to be true. Realistically I don't think we will finish any higher either. So the pressure is off we can try to enjoy the good moments and try to forget the rest. This summer will be critical for this club. We need to get some major decisions right or financially we face a very difficult time. I look forward to a new era and a reunited fanbase one not divided by an inconsistent manager.

agree with some/most of that but it should be noted that our poor home form was established long before the pitch became as bad as it is now. The other point is its strange to say that fans should 'admit' it was a good (great) resullt, surely none of the fans are that anti the club that an admission would be the choice of wording.
