1-0 in the JPT against Di Canio's Swindon.
Could this be his parting gift before heading our way? ...and never managing a win again?
I was there and he didn't seem to make a big thing out of it. Listening to him on SSN he seemed v nervous and side stepped any talk of the job so make of that what you will. Oxford played with a hell of a lot of passion and commitment and looked like they were playing for the manager and the fans. Something we can only dream of at present. The atmosphere was also electric in a 3 sided ground....sometimes makes you realise how lucky we are?
I'd be careful about reading too much into Wilder from that one game. We had some passion in the Brum game didn't we? Derby games are good for that, and in the lower leagues they don't come much more bitter than Oxford - Swindon.
Thanks for the report though.
May I add Wilder is currently 11th in the longest serving managers list, something we crave-stability
I've seen a few Oxford games and their support are a pretty good bunch generally. But if you think our fans can be negative you ain't seen nothing. I was at an Oxford game once where Joey Beauchamp was having a stinker. Now this was after his spell at Swindon, so you have to take that into account, but even so I have never seen, before or since, fans chanting for their own player to be sent off after he has committed a foul!
Step forward CCFC fans! We called for Kevin Kyle to be sent off after commiting a foul. What a lovely bunch we are.

I would like Wilder to take over but can't see it happening now.
The new owners will want their own man
From the games you have seen, is he able to motivate the players for the uninspiring fixtures? The ones they're expected to win?
Well he managed to get them out the conference (after a couple of managers couldnt) and there are many uninspiring places in that league let me tell you! His tactical nouse is improving and adapted his game plan the other night which came to fruition v late on. The biggest thing personally which I envy is that he has spent time along with Andy Meville on the defensive aspect and they conceed v few.
