KR said it would be U23s .... probably a few academy/ U18s tooThe 1st team players won't be involved at Eastleigh and will only be training this week. I reckon that will show Vs QPR.

I believed that is what they’re known as...... bloody Barclaysarent they Mockneys down that neck of the woods?
Yes Chris Short a decent fella had a chat ? re game asks who you are so he can address you by your name and will chat about what he is allowed toI assume that Chris Short and the sports science people are heavily involved in this schedule.
It sounds like CS is highly thought of from a fitness perspective and I would be amazed if his recommendations are not listened to?
You are right though. We should follow the top PL sides and go to Australia, The Far East and the US for our friendlies.
I'm not sure that the work done in pre-season is that influential by the time we get to January. It would perhaps be more logical to point to our sluggish start last time and say that knackering the players before the season starts was shown not to be a good idea!People talking about fixture congestion.
We had the same approach last season, and one of the main things that contributed to our great run at the end of last season was the squad fitness past the 75+ minute mark of matches.

Sorry just watched Karl’s interview on The game, it never occurred to me that it was the grass that was wrong. Too dry and too long! Do me a favour!Just back, wish I hadn’t bothered. I know it’s for fitness etc, but you do expect a certain amount of entertainment. Dickie was best player by miles. Once he’d gone off we were in the s***.
Glad you said that, read it through again and was kicking myself having not spotted more than just the final 'Thats Entertainment' at the end.How many references to Woking resident Paul Weller and the Jam did you spot in the match report?
REPORT Woking 1 Oxford United 1
Oxford United's pre-season continued with a 1-1 draw away at Woking this afternoon. A goal from trialist Elliott Frear was cancelled out in the second half by a Jake Hyde strike but United will take plenty of positives not just from a decent performance in this game but from five games in seven dayswww.oufc.co.uk
How can you deduce that 'we cant afford a free agent...'[QUOTE="Mellowyellow, post: One of the officials I spoke to said that as he was aware the triallist free agent CB, who had played the last couple of games has left the club. How true that is I cant vouch for. But if we cant persuade/afford a free agent who played well when here then what's going on.
Chris Williams must have written this and the Mail have taken it also. He bloody loves The Jam. Wouldn’t shut up about them when we worked together. Them and The Wedding Present. Both of them are rubbish.Glad you said that, read it through again and was kicking myself having not spotted more than just the final 'Thats Entertainment' at the end.
My particular favourite:
"The free kick was touched to Cameron Brannagan with the wall jumping and his shot going under. Ground down on a sweltering afternoon, United never let their energy levels drop and will be pleased with another good test."

RO implied that the club didnt want to keep him.
Wasnt this a possibility or did you seriously think that the club couldn't afford him? Or do you know that to be a fact?
I’m not a fan of Mr Weller but you can’t deny the Jam had some pretty memorable songs. The Wedding Present always seemed a tuneless bunch thoughChris Williams must have written this and the Mail have taken it also. He bloody loves The Jam.
