Oxford United's midfielder Cameron Brannagan has expressed the club's desire to bounce back to the Championship as soon as possible, following their relegation to League One. Brannagan, who was named club captain in September, admitted that frustrations were high for him personally after a disappointing season. The club's fate was sealed before their final game, a 2-0 loss at Millwall, but Brannagan remains optimistic about their chances of returning to the Championship. Oxford United's goalkeeper Simon Eastwood, who has been with the club for 10 years, also shared his thoughts on the season, including his memories of playing in the Swindon derby. Eastwood, 36, has signed a new contract with the club and is looking forward to helping them regain their Championship status. Former Southampton and England striker Matt Le Tissier also spoke about his brief experience with Oxford United, revealing that he had almost joined the club at the age of 15 before getting homesick. Le Tissier's insights provide a unique perspective on the club's history and its appeal to young players. As Oxford United prepares for life in League One, the club's recruitment team will be tasked with rebuilding the squad for a successful campaign. Brannagan expects to be a part of the playing group next season, having made 41 appearances and scored six goals this season. The club's supporters have been incredible, according to manager Matt Bloomfield, who thanked them for their pride and dedication to the team. With their relegation confirmed, Oxford United will now focus on regrouping and preparing for the challenges of League One, determined to bounce back to the Championship as soon as possible.
