Some sky blue tinted glasses on this thread. Grimes and Torp have the technical ability but are far too slow for the PL. It's not the 90s any more.

There are so many mental things written in this, that I genuinely have to go to bed because I don't know where to begin.

Not if we twat it against the bar like that though…

I still think we will win this but damn, we are doing this the hard way. Oxford have switched from playing out from the back to going long and putting our defence under pressure and we’re struggling because of our own poor decision making. Subs are 20 minutes too late.

He’s technically good enough, just a yard short of pace to make it to the very top I think.

All my silly jokes to one side this is exactly it. People are taken in by his physical appearance. He can't win headers or hold the ball up consistently, it just not his game. Or Wrights, or BTAs. That said, I do think that is exactly the type of player that would thrive in the system we are...

It's too dramatic. Simms has just been brought round after being cryogenically frozen in 1972. He'll come good once he's back up to room temperature. I wanted to nickname him Udon because if you watch him trying to win a long ball you'd have better luck just chucking a Pot Noodle at the ball...

I think Simms has done ok tonight considering the elevator music that is permanently playing in his head. Has to be off putting.

Good save from Luton's 5 a side old boys keeper. Lad looks like he's 50.

I don't think anyone has had a bad game. Most of them are starting their first game for months in a glorified pre-season friendly. Any win here is decent, puts minutes in the legs of subs and fringe players. It's been professional by everyone.

It should be blatantly obvious to everyone, given how he runs in slow motion.

I'd like to see the wide players get narrower sometimes and drive between the full backs and centre backs, rather than always very wide and down the outside.

I reckon Haji Wright would be happier lying on a chaise longue modelling a pair of Calvin Klein underpants than playing centre forward in Coventry.

I've just done the maths and there's been a total of 47 minutes of possible football lost in this match between the moment we should have crossed the ball and the moment we actually did.

I thought Jacguard Fabric was our new French signing.
