Very nice start to the season, keep it u and you could be playing Championship football soon.

Great start to the season and some wonderful signings!

League 2 Player of the Year O'Dowda ruled out for three months

Promising Oxford United midfielder Callum O'Dowda has been ruled out until late November with torn knee ligaments.

The English winger pulled up during United's 1-0 victory over Blackpool at Bloomfield Road. Prior to the injury, O'Dowda carried on where he left of last season, with his form in League 2 winning him the PFA Player of the Year award at the young age of 20.

The Oxford-born youngster made five league appearances, scoring two and creating two for his team-mates.

But Oxford will now have reorganize their tactic, with O'Dowda being the only player capable to perform well in the left midfield position.

It is likely that they will switch to a more attacking formation with loanee Harry Wilson playing in a more advanced version of O'Dowda's role. Meanwhile Zeli Ismail will play on the opposing wing.

It will be a tough three months without their star player to guide them, but The U's have some very capable players who can step up in O'Dowda's absence.

Tough loss there, your team is strong enough to do well regardless in the league though I'm sure of it.

Back to the top of the table you go! Despite a few losses here and there... teams below you are quite near aswell, don't lose concentration yet

Duberry turns down several job offers to remain at The Kassam Stadium

Sky sources understand that Oxford United boss Michael Duberry has rejected at least four other teams in order to stay with the side he led to promotion last season.

The sources claim that fellow Sky Bet League 1 outfits Blackpool, Doncaster Rovers, Preston North End and MK Dons have had advances rejected from the Enfield-born manager.

The teams in question are all struggling in the division and have consequently sacked their managers. The owners of the clubs all thought to bring in 38-year-old Duberry but he has remained loyal to his team.

Duberry, Oxford United or any of the clubs that our sources have named have so far refused to comment on the speculation. The U's boss earlier confirmed that he had turned down an approach from Championship side Rotherham United. Oxford have carried on where they left off last season and currently occupy the top spot in their new league, but it is all still very open at the top of the table and it's still early days.

As a player-manager? he looks fit as a bull lol well written m8

You're doing brilliant! Keep it up mate!
