Will Hoskins does finally sign for Oxford United - what potential?

[The Wizard]

From the glimpses we saw in his unfortunate time here, he looked very handy at this level. I wish him well, deserves a bit of luck after the horrific injury plagued time he suffered here. Far too good for that league but I guess with his injury record not many clubs wanted to take the gamble.

 

[dreaming spires]

He's far too good for that shower. Still at least he's earning.

Would he have been good enough for you not so far back when you were a shower, fighting to stay in the bottom league, in a ground equally as shite as the kassam?

Even withdean just about had 4 sides

Does he come with his own treatment table? The Oxford physiotherapist is going to have some long working days coming up

Ignore some of our fans. I don't think he meant it in an offensive way but some fans don't remember the dark times!

[MENTION=15143]dreaming spires[/MENTION] is a cock and deserves all the grief he gets tbh

Wow, I've never been there, but to compare your own stadium to Withdean: boy it must be shit.

This. Hope they go down. Never liked Oxford.

 

[BN9 BHA]

That explains it. I think the club were trying to force him out at the time werent they?

Any truth in this?
From what I remember I thought the club sent him out on loan at the time, and this turned out to not be true, Hoskins wasn't happy at BHA and wanted to go out on loan.

It was a shame it didn't work out for him at the Albion and I hope he can stay fit, but it's also a shame that we wasted so much money on this player.

Oxford are another club who dislike us and there has been a sort of needle (I wouldnt go as far as rivalry). They are on the list of clubs with Luton, Chesterfield, Aldershot, Southend. The Oxford one went back to Worthing playing up there in the cup so I am told and then took off with the casuals. But as I wasnt at the Worthing game and I was never a casual, I never quite understood it ! I still take a random interest in their results and hope he does well for them.

Oh I did. I'm glad he took offence too.

Worthing playing up there in the cup? Did they....

 

[The Modfather]

Poor lads been blighted with injuries, glad to see he has got a chance with another league club. Good luck to him

 

[BensGrandad]

Pity they didnt sign him last week then he could have scored against Portsmouth last Saturday. Think Brezovan had trials there but not taken on now on a non contract at Portsmouth.

 

[downham seagull]

Be injured before Saturday

Stupid comment

 

[Alby]

Worthing playing up there in the cup? Did they....

Yes they did in the 2nd Round in December 1982.
Fair amount of trouble that day after the game.

Second round in 1982/83 (remember that was a good year for the cup in the southern part of Sussex). Oxford were top of Div 3 and on the way up at the time. Worthing did well to hold them to 0-0 at half time, but eventually lost 4-0. I remember bricks being thrown at our coach on the way out of Oxford. Never been back.

 

[portslade seagull]

A fit Hoskins will score plenty, just a shame he was injured for most of his stay here and he is still better than O'Grady

 

[Tubby-McFat-Fuc]

We've had some soft in the head sicknotes over the years, Will Buckley being a prime example, but Will Hoskins has got to go down as one of the unluckiest players we've ever had, and when he was injured, you knew he was injured!

Never could I wish an ex-Brighton player as much luck (and thats all he needs) as I wish Will Hoskins. Brilliant player, and just a shame he was just so dam unlucky when he was with us. Still a little disappointed he never got a short term contract for the start of this season. With luck on his side, Oxford have just signed the best player in their division.

 

[Munkfish]

I hope he tears the league apart and gets back to a decent Level.

Must still be on fairly big wages. It's certainly a gamble I would be happy with if I was an Oxford fan.

Maybe similar to when we signed Paul Kitson.
