U’s Youngsters Head Out on Loan<\/h3>\n

Oxford youngsters Tyler Goodrham and Michael Elechi have joined Hayes and Yeading United and Chippenham Town on a one-month loan.<\/p>\n

Goodrham, who made his full debut last week in a Football League Trophy match against Cambridge United, has managed just two senior appearances for the club since coming on as a substitute against Crawley Town in the same competition in 2019.<\/p>\n

As for Elechi, the left-back has managed three senior appearances for the U’s, also in the Football League Trophy.<\/p>\n

Henry Nominated for Player of the Month<\/h3>\n

On Wednesday, U’s midfielder James Henry was shortlisted for the League One Player of the Month. The 32-year-old scored four times from four league games, including a hat-trick against Lincoln City.<\/p>\n

However, the award went to Morecambe striker, Cole Stockton. The forward also netted four times on top of a further two for the Shrimps in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n

Brannagan on Blackpool<\/h3>\n

During the summer transfer window, Oxford United rejected an offer for midfielder Cameron Brannagan. Now, the 25-year-old has spoken publicly about the links and hopes to secure promotion with the U’s at the third attempt.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Oxford Mail, he said<\/a>: \u201cI had a conversation with the manager and obviously that stays between us.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to stay and be successful with this team, we\u2019ve been so close and it\u2019s been frustrating.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully we can go one further and get over that line.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been so close and it burns inside me because you want to get to that next level so bad. I know everybody else does.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve started better this season and hopefully we can keep winning.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI have a good connection with the fans and they know how much I love playing here. I know they love me being here too.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we had the conversation, I knew straight away that my only focus is to get promoted with this side.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oxford United Held by the Chairboys<\/h3>\n

Oxford’s latest game ended in a goalless draw with Wycombe Wanderers the visitors to Grenoble Road.<\/p>\n

The U’s dominated possession and created more chances than Gareth Ainsworth’s side but the two clubs played out a stalemate for the first time since 2011.<\/p>\n

For Oxford, it was just a second clean sheet of the season and it leaves them tenth in League One after seven games.<\/p>\n
