I love the final paragraph.....

 

 

 

'Oxford United have been tipped for promotion this season by Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

 

The man who scored the winner in the 1999 Champions League final is now on the coaching staff at Old Trafford.

 

Solskjaer was impressed by Oxford's counter-attacking style in their 2-2 draw against a Manchester United XI.

 

The Norwegian told BBC Oxford: "I think they should be looking to go up. They counter attack, two passes and it was in the back of the net."

 

He added: "Our boys needed a test like this. They need to know what the level will be at when, and if, they get to play in the Football League." '

This style certainly did them proud in the 1st half of our final league game of last season; we were 3 down before anyone had time to wonder what the hell was going on.

However, we had them on the back foot all 2nd half, though it was a lost cause by then. I know a number of teams, following the Kidderminster model of the 2nd half of last season, have decided that pacey counter attack is the way to go. Maybe, but one trick ponies always get found out eventually & it takes more than one trick to win the league - even at our relatively modest level.
