But the drop off after Milan is probably the biggest of any position. Hence the need.

No, didn’t mean all of it. If we have that money I’d rather spend some of it at RB.

To improve our CB stock we’re going to have to spend 5-6m. If we have that I’d rather spend it on RB. We have 4 CB’s all capable of starting. Do we really need 5?

Were people watching the same player? He literally tore Oxford to pieces.

Eccles is a fine midfielder. No problem with him at all. Getting left behind?! By who? Amazes me how perfection is expected in high paced games

A lot of the negative stuff is during the game and it’s reactive frustration. That’s just fans of most sports. I think it’s a given that anyone out there is trying and so should be backed but discussing performances is equally a huge aspect and valid part of being a fan

Good way of putting it.

In reality Oxford didn’t worry us. You could argue that should be the case. We’re finding ways to concede rather than being picked apart.

Watching the first couple of games it’s clear how much we missed Saka at the end of last year. Also, you have to say congrats to the scouting/recruitment unit at the time we signed Wright, Simms, Sakamoto and Van Ewijk. All summer 23 additions.

His pace gets him out of bother when his positional sense defensively is off. But he’s such an athlete he’s just everywhere. Throw into the mix his relationship with Saka and our right side is phenomenal.

Wright was fantastic against Oxford. After a slow start he was just as good last year. He is, along with Ewijk and Sheaf a player who would be the first name on every championship teamsheet

If we’d have drawn 2-2 I’d still have been happy with that. Attacking wise we were brilliant to watch and that was a step up on the Yok and Hamer days. Oxford got 2 weird goals. We got two excellent and 1 well taken ones. I have a feeling that may be how this season goes. You score 3, we’ll score 4.

On balance no. 9 times from 10 we win that 4/5 - 0. Them scoring two freaky goals from three or four attacks is not a major worry.

Dovin 5? No chance with either goal and his distribution was excellent

Hindsight brigade versus ridiculous in play knee jerk reaction brigade. It’s an emotive game but the in game criticism is other worldly.

I thought Lati was very good. In Wright, MvE, Saka and Rudoni we have some of the best players in the division

Crikey, there’s some rot on here. We’ve absolutely battered Oxford and played sublime football. I know it’s frustrating if we aren’t winning but come on, that was superb. We’ll destroy a lot of teams this year. Wright, MVE, Saka, Binks superb. Also Lati had a solid game. I had my doubts but he...

Fantastic half of football. Our right flank is exceptional. Wright a cut above and Rudoni is special. More please

Latibeaudiere is fine as a defender. Just scares the hell out of me when he’s in possession. Torp lucky to start for me.

Well we’re not getting a defensive and an attacking midfielder in. I think you’ll find Rudoni is that man with Torp and Allen next in line. Defensive option is far more likely (and needed) for me.
