Brown was my man of the match best of a poor bunch. Extremely neat feet, plays ball to man, crosses with either foot, very quick to recover, good at holding the offside line. Positioning can go awry and a bit short, but I thought he played well particularly with Hiwula who should not have been...

Burge Sterling-Davies-Willis-Brown Bayliss-Kelly-Doyle-Thomas Baka-JCH 1-1

Can I ask a couple of dumb questions Regardless of historic debt, is the club running at a loss on its current incoming and outgoings including player transfer income/purchase cost? I assume it is, but would like it clarified. Secondly who is picking up the tab?

It might have been a man called Charles Hughes who was the leading FA coach in the late 50's early 60's iirc

There is no right or wrong about it, it's just business

When you have lost a couple as we have, a split develops between what we think the manager will pick and what we would choose ourselves - when you are winning there is little argument natch. Assumptions: Davies and Sterling available and Robins will be his usual conservative self, valuing...

Pretty scabby bunch, Chaplin against Posh, if only for Bakayoko's deft touch

is that the football or the action at Schmeee's place?

On ...on his way to becoming a legend

Thought that after Friday. Chaplin is quite a good crosser, but is probably too slow for the wing. I think he fancies himself in a Paul Scholes role playing behind a front 2

The second Oxford goal is the kin d Chaplin should be coring

We have continued our record of draws against top clubs at home - Stanley, Posh and Sunderland with a loss to Pompey and the one win against Donny. 6/15 points against top six clubs playing at home. Bit of a challenge for the second half of the season (add in Luton). It shows the limitations of...

Good deft touch under pressure by Bakayoko. I was about to leave but halted on the stairs, glad I did, but in the melee in the penalty area could not see Bakayoko clearly.

Hirwula has to be rested Back 5 no change assuming Davies not fit, but they have got to buck up, as Posh let them off twice Away from home, so a Bayliss, Kelly, Doyle and Thomas midfield has to be an option. JCH and Chappers up front This seems harsh on Bakayoko, who had a promising...

27 people posted ratings - a record. And several players really divide opinion - JCH and Chaplin. Voted man of the match was Thomas with Bayliss second. That is a marked improvement for Bayliss Dud of the match was Hirwula - his third DotM in succession. As the Player Ratings have been a guide...

It would help if someone went toward him rather than waiting hopefully in the middle of the penalty area for an inch perfect cross, which given that Thomas is likely operating at full stretch and under pressure, not surprisingly doesn't arrive

My main bug bears are that he is too slow over the ground and that he does not go to the front post enough - the latter indicates a not very good football brain

But the sum of the parts is quite indicative and has been a predictor of change in the side

Yes you are probably right, a bit too harsh - I retract
