🎧 'Tough to be the one letting the team down'

Will Vaulks s The Dub's Robyn Cowen to discuss his first season at the club

"The last seven or eight games were pretty tough if I'm being honest. It wasn't great."

The Dub's Robyn Cowen is ed by Oxford United midfielder Will Vaulks as they discuss his debut season with the U's, what the future holds for the 31-year-old and battling through pain to help the team avoid relegation.

Vaulks sustained an ankle injury towards the end of last season but chose to delay surgery until the U's had secured safety.

"There was no pressure from the club, it was more myself. It just didn't feel the right time to say 'I'll just get the operation now, look after myself and leave the players to it'," Vaulks said.

"If you would have asked my other four clubs I've had before now, 'reliable' probably would have been a word you'd have used to describe me.

"I had a couple of errors that led to goals that really affected me as well. It was tough coming to a place with a lot of expectation and then to be the one that was letting the team down. That's what hurts as a player."
