I SEE that Oxford United head coach (posh title) Appleton made a comment about the subdued atmosphere at recent home games.

Well, perhaps it’s because the team are rubbish!

Losing at home on a regular basis will upset fans and I am amazed that so many keep turning up.

Oxford Mail: MICHAEL APPLETON

  • Oxford United head coach Michael Appleton

Some friends and I now go to watch Swindon Town, near the top of League One, scoring lots of goals and with crowds increasing now to 7,000-9,000 there is no shortage of atmosphere at all.

Fans want a winning team and success, it’s as plain as that Appleton!

If Town get promoted then it will only add to Oxford’s decline.
