You keep passing off opinion as fact. Let's not pretend you didn't drastically underestimate the abilities of Haji and Eliis around this time last year. You weren't the only one, there were several on here giving them way too much stick when it was clear they needed time.

That's your truth, but it isn't mine. I liked him from the start, and could see the player in there. Things weren't quite coming together for him or the team as a whole, but he was not 'dog shit awful'. Shouldn't have been necessary to defend him and Ellis on here against the people who didn't...

Suspect he may have meant to type 'febrile'?

Ah that explains a lot CD. The sheer neglect of your childhood years comes across in many of your dark and bitter ramblings 😉

Two observations from this 1) I still think it's a (flexible) 4-2-3-1 not a flat 4-3-3. Rudoni was higher up than Simms on average! 2) Look at the difference in the sides - we only had our two CDs with an average position in our half, and Oxford were so narrow and deep

Never thought of that - soz mate!

Yeah nobody is worried about 'praise and disappointment'. But we had people on here a year ago giving the new players really vile abuse, of the kind that was borderline hate crime. Not saying anyone is going that far now, but there is a sense that people pile in on certain players.

First time I've watched Tats live since that horrible fall from height. The few days after the injury were such an anxious time, so it's a proper delight to see him back looking in good nick, with a spring in his step and doing what he does best. Selling defenders three dummies in as many...

Nope, but looked like it had been through many similar events in its lifetime. Probably gets launched every time we score.

You've recorded two episodes of New Faces?

A mobile phone landed next to me after the winning goal. Guy came down and reclaimed it from about 15 rows higher up 😆

Just needed a tad less pace on the cross

Yeah, said it last season - Tats's little balls are delightful

Glad you've retained your youthful looks Edgy!

Was half expecting them to break out '2-4-6-8, who do we appreciate? Oxford!'

Did you have a fit of the giggles Pete?

Made some noise but it was either that dreary 'yellows yellows', or stuff from the 1974 Southern League songbook.

And is far more suited to providing that variation and flexibility from the AM position (if I can call it that) than O'Hare would have been. Not necessarily saying he's a better player, but Rudoni has more strings to his bow.

Glad I'm not going completely insane ;) As a matter of interest, where do you find these position maps? I can see it's WhoScored.com, but which part of the site do you have to go to?

These are the average positions for the Stoke match (copied from a post by Stupot the other day) Looks far more like 4-2-3-1 than 4-3-3 to me...
