Oxford United head coach Aaron Ramsey just dropped a bombshell, telling BBC Radio Oxford that his side’s win over Stockport County was the performance he is “most proud” of during his entire tenure with the club since taking over in June. You heard that right. The U’s clawed their way past the Hatters at the Kassam Stadium, and it wasn’t just another three points, it was *the* one that got the boss buzzing.
Harris Strikes, Ramsey Raves About The Performance
The hero of the day was Mark Harris, who slotted home the first-half strike after 35 minutes, all thanks to a slick, low cross from Siriki Dembele. But it wasn’t just the goal that had Ramsey beaming. He couldn’t stop praising the squad’s grit, saying, “I can’t fault the boys for our out of possession work and we showed a lot more courage with the ball to show that we can play through teams.” That’s the kind of play that wins games, isn’t it? He made it clear, every single player contributed, adding, “Everybody played their part and we’re going to need them all throughout the whole season.” That kind of team unity, that’s what makes a champion.
Climbing the Ladder: Oxford’s Unstoppable Momentum
This massive victory didn’t just feel good, it had real consequences for the League One table! Oxford has now notched up six wins in their 11 matches this season, with just one lone league loss on their record. That kind of consistency has propelled them straight up to third place in League One. Think about that for a second. Since that single league defeat away at Huddersfield, they’ve been on a tear, racking up five wins and three draws. And get this: they are still totally undefeated at home in all competitions. Undefeated at home! The Kassam Stadium is an absolute fortress.
Ramsey pointed out that they’ve played fewer games than other teams because of postponed matches during international breaks and player call-ups. This situation is even set to repeat later this month. He recognized how crucial this win was, saying, “It was nice to play one of those games where we had the chance to jump up a few places and it was important to take full advantage of that.” The boys executed the game plan superbly, and hey, the fans were loud enough to get them over the line in the end. Ramsey wants the supporters to be proud, to enjoy the football, to create an environment everyone can truly enjoy. With results like these, how could we not?
The U’s are gearing up for a big road trip, heading to face Barnsley on Saturday. After that, it’s a midweek showdown with rivals Reading right back at the Kassam. Keep that undefeated home streak alive, boys! The postponed trip to Peterborough will be rescheduled, but for now, it’s all about keeping this incredible momentum rolling.
