What's happened to them?
Last season they were available after every match with dave's commentary, and watchable quality.
The most recent one I could find now was Reading at home on 7th of October, in 360P and no commentary. It's pretty hard to watch and recognise the players.

I get reasonable 1080 HD but the "closer look" etc is mostly in 720 ish.

It's now just a quick hotch-potch crammed together without idea or purpose. Something has clearly changed at the club on the media side of things. |

There must be a reason for the commentary and better definition Full Match Replays being replaced by this sub standard stuff.
I don't know how many Full Match Replays there's been this season, all I could find was the Reading match.
Maybe they have to pay the beeb for dave's commentary, I don't know, but why show it in 360P ?
Just found a Full Match Replay of Saturdays Oxford match, it's 360P and looks like the camera lens was wiped with Vaseline.

 Here's an excuse to trot out a vid..... despite the use of a dodgy phone. Sunday's match winner Amelia Pearce in an earlier pre-season game.... Enjoy!

Luke's replacement, George Jones, seems to have a much wider view of what should receive media attention. There's more community stuff, women's team, academy etc. The website is much busier than before but l guess he can't do everything.
The media team keep things tightly controlled these days, presumably to reflect the priorities of the club and maintain the nature and style of communications. Interestingly, Mat Roper's fanzine has outlived all the official PR people.

I think we've pretty much maxed out the money that can be wrung from fans so all this extra-curricular stuff is possibly aimed at diversifying the revenue sources. I'm talking like Devlin now 😮 |

To be honest, if there were no "closer look" videos, no interviews and no pre/post match shows from the studio, it wouldn't make a scrap of difference to my annual streaming ticket. For me, 99% of the deal is the live stream with Dulcet Dave. The rest is just padding in my humble..... |

Here's an excuse to trot out a vid..... despite the use of a dodgy phone. Sunday's match winner Amelia Pearce in an earlier pre-season game.... Enjoy! Your dodgy phone is better quality than the Full Match Replays. Why would they post the Full Match Replays in such low def, you can't tell who our players are most of the time. Someone would of checked if it's an acceptable view, how could they let this pass? I think it's great that we can see the Full Match Replays, we never used to, but I don't know, why must it be 360P when it was about 720P and with commentary last season? |

For me, on the website itself, Richie's interviews are the only ones worth listening to. He says things as he sees them and you never know what you're going to get. |
