'Only time will tell' if Bloomfield is the right man for Oxford

We asked you for your thoughts on new Oxford United boss Matt Bloomfield and he certainly seems to have caused a stir.

Here is what you had to say about the appointment:

Matthew: No. Doesn't have the right experience. No decent track record. Can't see what's he's going to add. I agreed with the decision to remove Rowett but frankly I'd rather have Rowett, is this the best we can do?

Connor: I think this appointment reflects what Luton attempted to do last season by bringing in a young manager who has a talent for developing young players, and has a strong sense of how he wants his teams to play. He very nearly got it right last season elsewhere, so let's hope he can go one better at Oxford and keep us in the Championship. He has to hit the ground running though, or else I fear the fanbase may not be very forgiving. Good luck Matt, I think you might need it.

Charles: He has the right manager/player experience to move us towards safety. It will depend on how the existing players respond to him and how he integrates the new players into the squad. Cautious optimism!

Jacob: As an Oxford fan, I'm honestly disappointed after what he did with Luton.

Finn: I think the board have made a solid appointment which I think is what Oxford United needs right now.

Simon: Got to give him a chance, like any new manager he deserves the backing of the fans.

Neil: Only time will tell. I think the rest of this season is going to be really hard regardless of who took over. COYY.

Keith: Very underwhelmed. Considering the managers out of work feel we could have done better with regard to experience and knowledge in this league.

Cosmo: Solid appointment but doesn't explain (why it took) over two weeks to get it done.

Richie: Awful appointment. We've gone for the cheapest, lazy option. At Oxford the manager isn't involved in transfers as it's all left with the recruitment team. The trouble is the last four managers we've had all play a different style so it'll never work. We had the right man in Gary Rowett but he was given an unbalanced squad to work with.

William: Can he keep us up? Only time will tell and only if we back him both financially and as fans. This is an almost impossible job already and we all need to know that going into the second half of the season.

Mark: Sadly, I think Oxford are down, but hope I am wrong. No manager really wanted to come to Oxford when there is only money planned for another new stadium. I have travelled many times from Canada to watch Oxford play. You look at teams around us - Portsmouth, Norwich, Sheffield Wednesday - none of them should be down the bottom, and let's face it, Sheff Weds, are only there because of a very unfair point deduction. Good luck to all at the club.
