We now have more than enough players to cover the bench, so why put him on the bench? Where had FL said this? I haven't seen anything

Asante is still out for the Boro game isn't he?

Why won't Onyeka play til mid Feb? He was on the bench yesterday.

A win against Middlesbrough could cause a momentum shift for sure And before anyone says "but we're in terrible form, there's no way we will beat them", just look at where Oxford are in the table and how few points they have. Yet, this season, they have beaten all three of the teams relegated...

I do find that odd, I must say. Onyeka needs to slot straight in, no messing. We haven't got time for him to adapt. He needs to hit the ground running

And this is before Frank Onyeka has even kicked a ball? Can we not even give him a chance to see if he solidifies the team, so we give less soft goals away. If we can break down the ball in midfield, we can break down more counter attacks from the opposition. Got to help, surely? We have...

Yup We ARE still top of the league. And this is 6 weeks on from your "On a positive note" thread. 6 weeks later and still top. Anyway, keeping things positive, if we do end up in the play-offs, Markelo will be fit enough to score the winning goal in the play-off final at Wembley. 😍

It IS a melodramatic post. "Shame it's ended this way." There's 15 games to go. Nothing has ended. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly this

It's a weird one Am only guessing here, but is it possible that we got him and were surprised at how unfit he was when he arrived? Still be poor management, but you do wonder why we got him if he isn't fit to play any part this season. Am guessing that we think he is good enough for the...

Too many games left to make a choice just yet Ask me after the two Boro games (Monday away at Sheff Utd and the following Monday here at the CBS)

Has to hit the target there. Simply has to.

Definitely. 15 games go FIFTEEN! Madness to write us off just yet. We do need to find some form though. I am hopeful that Onyeka will give us a real boost. Too early to throw the towel in just yet.

Hope that got edited in time. 😁

I didn't think it was,Clint We just weren't clinical enough. I don't think the performance was poor. We had enough chances to win and had that Wright, clean through shot have gone in and we had won 1 nil, I think we would have pretty much been satisfied The three chances that stood out for...

Definitely But today wasn't "disastrous," nor was it "the end of our season." We definitely should be worried . A week on Monday has to be treated like a cup final though. Win that and the world we look a hell of a lot rosier. A draw and we still won't be any the wiser as to when we will...

I think he's good until it starts going wrong in games and then he doesn't know how to rectify that.

Agree. The ball was pinging about their 5 yard box quite a bit and it always seemed to fall to them so they could clear the danger. We weren't good enough, but we lacked that bit of luck too

Disagree. We were slow getting it into the box BECAUSE they were winning every header, so we were trying to work it to the byline for cutbacks into the box most of the time , rather than just lump it in. This was why we were reluctant to just throw high balls in there. Thomas would have...

The one thing I would have done today at the end, was to throw Thomas on up front. Just for the last 10 mins. Oxford were zero threat at that point and they had been winning headers in their own box all day long I would have just sent Thomas into the box to be a threat, ruffle a few feathers...
