Yes! My ideal team for Oxford would have Torp in the 10. I think it would give us that little bit more control in the midfield area as i don't think he would drift as much as Rudoni. I just want us to shore things up and get back to winning ways. Burnley for example, weren't always pleasant on...

Those slight tactical changes we made 2nd half against Leicester, that was all it took and we looked much better. I can't fathom why we didn't stick with that. Those players have played brilliantly in some games and we know they are good and capable. I'm hoping that the addition of Onyeka will...

You can see what they're attempting, those little triangle passes, but it just seems messy. Teams have figured it out. With Onyeka in now, perhaps we could tuck the fullbacks in, push Grimes further up and let him be the one getting involved further forward in those triangles.

Yeah, i meant mistake in the sense that he get's ahead of the 2 who are in that little triangle at the time. Whether it be EMC and Rudi, or on this occasion Esse and Rudi, he get's ahead of them and then can't recover, they never attempt to get back either. He actually has to run past them to...

I agree. Those subtle changes we made second half Vs Leicester. That's all it takes.

Yeah, you have to feel like it's under instruction, which if so is baffling as it keeps happening time and again. Fair enough with MVE as he has the pace to get back. If that's how he wants us to play then he needs to try KKH there imo, or instruct Kitching to stop diving in so high up and let...

Great signing, exactly what we need. Grimes was signed this time last year and look what that did for us. I'm hoping for a repeat.

It does seem an odd signing now we are half way through and he's not been given much of a chance. If we are to stick with what we have, i honestly believe he needs to drop JDS for a while. I rewatched the whole move that led to their equaliser and it's the same old thing that has been...

Yeah, someone at fairly low cost, with that level of experience. The cost would be a mere drop in the ocean if it leads us to getting the job done.

I was more thinking of the experience it seems we need in that back line. A Fadz type player if you like. Not someone for the long run, but someone who could dig in, command and get us over the line.

True. Always a risk, but the experience would be invaluable. All hypothetical though of course.

Nothing new on incomings from me. I see we look to have finally reached an agreement with Brentford though, so that's good news. Not a rumour, just an opinion and may get laughed at, but i'd be looking at Jamaal Lascelles. He may not be what we are after in the long run but he's experienced...

Incredibly frustrating again. I don't mind us losing games, if there has been some sort of fight put up. It's clear though that our earlier confidence has taken a massive hit. We have become so pedestrian in our passing again, it's frustrating to watch. The strikers become the scape goat...

Most definitely. We are capable of playing some really good football, the trouble has been for a while that if even one player is not fully fit or off their game, we get pulled apart. Particularly in the middle, and other teams have picked up on it.

We were discussing this during the game. He's great going forward, but not sure if he's lacking the match fitness to do the dirty work just yet. I don't know if it was under instruction but did you notice he kept drifting inside a lot? i'll probably get laughed at but i'd like to see him in the...

On replay, got a whack in the face just as he was about to head it as well unfortunately. Thought he could have left Wright on as we were behind, he'd had a good game. I've already seen people blaming Wright and Simms on Twitter, that's no surprise though, they are default mode for blame. Our...

Honestly no. I've only had 2 bits of info off him this window, that was about the winger in the championship and that we had made an enquiry to a Prem club about a midfielder, at that time he said the clubs couldn't agree on a valuation. Then the link to Onyeka came out so i'm guessing it's...

Just home after another important win. Haven't had time to catch up with the thread but what a difference BTA makes to us, we've desperately missed him! His pressing and energy, also playing closely to the striker makes us so much better. Helped create chances and space for Wright and that great...

I think you and i have been given similar info like usual. So for me this would make sense as i was told we had enquired after a midfielder in the Prem, but a valuation couldn't be agreed, which usually means they have hiked up price with it being January. So it would ring true that you have...

Yeah true.
