Just watching Oxford v Sunderland and they have not setup a low block against them like they did against us! Showed us a lot of respect by the look of it

teams doing their homework against us, can see us getting more chances against mboro than we did against Oxford, hopefully we’ll take a couple,

He was banned for the QPR match after Norwich, so Oxford and Boro will be his 3 matches done. I remember there was some chatter he was going to be available for QPR and would serve the three matches after but that wasn't th case.

That's what I thought

That posted up article threw me. Always thought he was back for WBA and the 3 game ban would be for QPR, Oxford and Middlesbrough

Esse will start over Sakamoto.

The sakamoto/mve. Combination seems stronger.....esse looks better player when he drifts into the middle but obviously has skill to unlock their defence

We certainly need BTA back, assuming that he can rediscover his early season form.

I think he returns for the game against the Blades doesn’t he?

Please let's not rely on BTA.

Esse will start over Sakamoto.

I would be surprised if Sakamoto doesn't start, he's been playing well recently. Esse is a very skillful player but often ineffective I think....

I doubt EMC will start judging by FL comments

Why not, we were fine until he got injured, he’s not the only reason we’ve dropped off but he’s a huge miss for us

I guess I don't rate him.
But I hope he proves me wrong when he returns.

We've been more effective when Sakamoto has come off the bench - Esse also scores goals.

I'm sure he would of latched onto any of the loose balls in oxfords box last week
