United beat Borough 6-3!

Oxford United got their season up and running in style at the Kassam Stadium with a 6-3 demolition job on Eastbourne Borough in the Blue Square Premier.

After two games without a point, or even a goal, the floodgates opened.

James Constable and Levi Reid put the U's two up in the first seven minutes but poor defending allowed Eastbourne back to 2-2 with Patrick Harding and Allan Tait netting.

A comical own goal from Marc Pullen restored Oxford's lead, but Paul Armstrong made it 3-3 midway through the second half.

However, the U's finished strongly, with substitute Eddie Hutchinson, Constable - with his second goal - and Barry Quinn completing what in the end was a resounding win. After some awful defending.

Well Done to Patto and the lads. Fingers crossed we can build on this and go from strength to strength

A win - the most important aspect of that result. The goalscorers will take some good confidence from that result, particularly Reid and constable. Defending to be fair was way below what it has to be for promotion...Foster looks like another player and we need Clarke back as soon as poss. Guy back soon we hope and if we can avoid defeat at Wrexham we can start to build the season from here!!! Come On you yellows!!!

After the previous abysmal performances at least this was a win, but against better opposition it would in all liklehood have been another defeat, the central defence has gone to pot with no Billy to "tell them what to do and where to play" i have often been criticised for saying they play so deep so they can hear his instructions, well if proof was ever needed we have it now! However, 3 points it is and much needed, we now have to up our game at Wrexham, never a happy hunting ground, and get into a higher gear and kick on, the season starts here, lets get a move on. Stop giving soft goals and start scoring like today, not pretty but a win.

Can we get Setanta not to show Thursdays game please? Then we might win!! Seriously though, a 6-3 win is good enough for me, not perfect but with better players on their way back it's looking up for us.

Comical defending from both teams, fortunately we took full advantage of theirs while somehow we managed to keep it down to a mere three goals against!!
If your man Guy had been playing i'm certain he'd have got six goals himself, no joking at all.
We have to tighten up 75% defensively -otherwise the score might be reversed at Wrexham. Glad for the three points yesterday, hopefully Guy will be back on thursday, our defence remembers how to defend- and the Setanta jinx ends!!

Well done Darren and the lads. An important victory. Put the previous two games behind you and set this league alight. We have the team, the stadium, the management and the supporters to make it our season. Good luck!

Pack it in dan, you'll give me bad rep in Swindon. All clubs have people like emu (including yourselves). Difference between us is that I love the rivalry, but don't hate. He threatened me with a good kicking, but at 6ft4 and 15st I think he would struggle. I know a couple of U's fans and we get on fine, which is probably why I realsise that my passion for Town is no different than your passion for your club. Enjoy your win and our defeat, it could all be change again next week, thats footy for you.

Why cheers Abster. I don't know if I can respond to your last sentense, we are rivals after all, but it's gratefully accepted. Anyway, who cares what me, and even emu thinks, if you're good enough ,you'll go up. You should never have gone down in the first place, the football league have made a huge mistake with automatic promotion/relegation from the Blue Square. OK the Blue Square is stronger for having the likes of Oxford, Wrexham and Cambridge in the league, but the football league is weaker as a result. Look at Boston and Scarborough, they just wern't geared up for league football and it's finished them off and Halifax were finished off because they were geared up for league football but just couldn't get back into the league. The Football league have alot to answer for. Too late to change things now though, the gates been opened and the horse has bolted.

Very slight advantage emu, anyway if you're 6.2 and 18 stone, chances are, you're a porker and you need to lay off the big macks. We shouldn't really be trading insults as we are both Town fans. Nothing wrong with a bit of banter between fans, but the ol' hatred thing against Oxford is a bit 1980's.
