    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Would be a bad idea. Bayliss isn’t gonna be able to play 46 league games this season to his full capacity and Andreu could play a role still alongside Doyle/Ogogo or should injuries/suspensions occur Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    JCH

    For me JCH is a typical player who League one or two clubs look to sign. You can pick a player like him up for very cheap or free as you’ve looked at what’s in the locker and see a player is there to bring out. Issue with these types is consistency and getting them to do it for 90 minuets on a...

    Team for Oxford

    I share your concerns. We’re no threat at corners and could well come undone defending them too due to the lack of height in the side over a season. Obviously we don’t need a side of 6ft plus players but at least 6/7 as a minimum ideally need to be a good physical size in this league still...

    Team for Oxford

    You make some good points and I agree Chaplin has to be on the shoulders of the last man and in the 18 yard box as much as possible, but I’d like us to retain Tony Andreu in the side for his set piece ability. All last season we lacked a creditable threat from a free kick. Andreu is the one who...

    With the previous talk of FFP it looks like Birmingham city could be hit with a 12 point deduction for falling foul of FFP rules. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Match Thread Oxford United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 9th Sep

    That’s the modern era for you tho, that mentality isn’t installed or passed on it’s discouraged by the majority of managers unless that was part of there teams playing style or from a non league background or specifically developed as part of that players game. Academy players don’t generally...

    Team for Oxford

    Personally I’d go with this for Oxford, has the traditional feel off 442 with Chaplin and JCH in as close as a big man little man combo up top yet it has the ability to go 433 comfortably to use the explosive nature of Thomas if he can just find a bit of luck in front of goal. Seems a well...

    Danny Rose on his way ??

    Ssssh, that was against Jordan Willis you cannot say that here even if it was true. On a serious note as Mucca says I don’t see where he fits if the link had some credibility. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Ccfc transfer rumours

    Agree I don’t see McNulty hitting the heights of this season again, I also don’t think a 4231 uses him to his best over a full season. I’d stick with a 442 adaptation be it the current style or a more traditional one. Allassani I see in time fitting in as one of the wide players in a 4231 like...

    Ccfc transfer rumours

    Yes 3 at the back is suicidle at this level, the lad he signed yesterday fits his 442/4231 system perfectly if he clicks early on them him and JJ alternating flanks is quite frightening really. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Ccfc transfer rumours

    The 442 worked tho for the players we have, don’t forget it’s not the traditional flat 442 we play it’s a 442 double 6 adaptation of it, so it’s close to a 4231 but puts a extra body up front when Kelly presses Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Sorry but football is ruthless, desire will only take you so far. Good luck to them but we move on. It’s what they do now that counts, go find another club be it Solihull in the national league or Nuneaton in the national north, or lower still leamington or Stratford in the southern prem...
