Introducing the Generation Ox blog

Just what the world needs - another Oxford United blog!

This is Generation Ox; a father and son blog which offers, theoretically at least, different perspectives and analysis of OUFC.

You'll quickly be able to work out which is which; one focuses on stats to find interesting trends and analysis, while the other will doubtless find ways to gratuitously crowbar in references to players like Sean Reck, Mark Angel and Anton Rogan.

Anyway will be posting away - and if you enjoy or find our what we write of any interest please spread the word!

Scouting Potential Wingers

Oxford's comfortable victory at Oxford City was played in the background of an increasingly urgent situation in the transfer market. After slow progress so far, Robinson will be hoping for several more incomings in the next few weeks, or his squad will be looking very thin when they travel to Pride Park at the end of the month. Unsurprisingly for Robinson, one of his main priorities seems to be strengthening wide areas, where he suggested Oxford are looking to bring in another three players . We've used data scouting to analyse some possible wingers Oxford could target, looking at their strengths and weaknesses to show how they would fit into this United side. This is the second in a series of scouting reports, and for information on some of the techniques we'll be using during the piece, check out our scouting report on potential centre back signings .

The 'Oxford way' wins through against brutish Northampton

An early Christmas present was offered to Oxford in the form of out of shape Northampton on Tuesday night. Four goals, three points and a clean sheet an almost perfect way for Karl Robinson’s men to head into the festive period. Although it was an injury and suspension-hit Northampton side, great credit does have to be given to Robinson’s men whose desire to stick to their game plan led to an emphatic second half performance. With the Cobblers taking much of the pace out of the game in the first period, it looked as though Oxford would be sucked into a physical battle with Keith Curle's men – not a good sign when playing the team who have won the second most aerial duels in the division. And this showed in the first 45, as Northampton dominated in most aerial statistics, stopping United getting any momentum in the game. During the First Half A change in momentum United set about rectifying this in the second half, and the intensity of their passing and moveme...

Oxford vs Swindon: Pre Match Stats Pack

Without fans, some games at the Kassam this season have been accused of feeling like an EFL Trophy match on a Tuesday night. Not this one though. This is Oxford United vs Swindon Town. The game that needs no introduction, but here’s one anyway. It’s the first meeting between the rivals since February 2017 in a season where Swindon dropped to a lower division than Oxford for the first time since 1987. But times have certainly changed since that season when John Aldridge top scored for United, as Oxford haven’t lost a league match to their friends down the motorway for more than fifteen years. They will come into this one in high spirits as well after finally putting some chances away in midweek, putting three past MK Dons to gain their second win of the season to take some pressure off a poor start. Its been the reverse for the Robins who have lost their last five matches in all competitions after what was a promising start to life back in the third tier. Swindo...
