the thing is JDS doesn’t make a ‘mistake’ - yes he loses the ball, but that’s catered for in so far as Grimes drops in and the defence shift and cover, the problem then is you have another CM out of position (Eccles or Torp), Rudoni not covering back and also Kitching compounding things by heading / passing the ball to the opponent
The main issue is not clearing the ball after having the opportunity, and that, at the weekend, was down to Kitching
Solid window for me
Wel find out on SaturdayDouble glazed or triple?
Please forgive me if this has already been discussed (I’m lazy and don’t have the time to go back through the thread), but yesterday BTA posted this, and I cannot figure out the name on the shirt.
It cannot be Asante, as there is no diagonal line in the letter after what appears to be an A, and the letter after the two vertical lines is possibly an E. So I was thinking of something like _EALLE_ Or maybe the two vertical lines form part of a U? _EAU_
Sorry again
Ah, of course. Sorry, having a very senior moment.Latibeaudiere?
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 mean we don't have to drop anyone on the left in particular. If we are going to insist on playing that way though, perhaps it is worth giving KKH a try, as i can't see Lampard dropping Kitching.
What's your thoughts on it? Keep it as it is and see if Onyeka helps matters or change it up?
Do we have any ideas who it may beYep signing coming...
Someone get the chinese takeaway tweet.
Wouldnt make sense to cancel Bidwells contract. He couldn't sign anywhere.So we are one over...
My guess is mutual agreement with Bidwell to cancel contract or Dovin to be deregistered.
Why not?Wouldnt make sense to cancel Bidwells contract. He couldn't sign anywhere.
Because its outside the transfer window.Why not?
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 the eye last season, but they did what they needed to and that's what i feel we requrie in the next couple of games to regain confidence if anything.on the basis we have a home game against what should be ‘weaker’ opposition in comparison, I’d keep it as is and drop Onyeka in alongside Grimes, with Torp probably (or Rudoni or Eccles) at 10, giving Grimes a bit more freedom and less dropping in and covering
I’m also not against starting KKH on the left, but I’m not convinced he has the same attacking threat on that side as JDS, although he is pacier, better engine etc
what I’d change, subject to what then happens at home, is maybe drop an extra centre half in when we play away at the expense of either a midfielder or a winger, so play Simms and Wright up top or a front three and Grimes + Frank in the centre
Why, who did you sign?Solid window for me
Maybe it wasBecause its outside the transfer window.
You can sign anywhere outside the window if you are a free agent, but your contract must have been cancelled in the window
Some windows are still open, especially where they play through the summer, e.g. MLS.Because its outside the transfer window.

yes it relates to OUR window.Some windows are still open, especially where they play through the summer, e.g. MLS.
Well maybe it has been, what do we know?what
well the club would have saidWell maybe it has been, what do we know?
People have hung into this for about the last five windows....Andy Turner and Cov live reported that's business concluded.
Doesn't Coventry City on X or the website usually confirm this too.
Talk on FB a CB is being signed
Yeah they are like lightening with any newswell the club would have said
Fair pointPeople have hung into this for about the last five windows....
....where the club haven't actually said anything about business being concluded....
9pmcan't it go up to 11pm with paperwork and stuff??

Tough one on the left isn't it. Not opposed to it for those reasons and don't want to throw any players under the bus, but it's a problem that needs addressing.
Completely agree on the change of formation for away, again do what we need to do. I don't care if it's not fancy football, i just want to see us go up.
Like Torp in the 10. Also makes the most of his shooting ability.Yes! My ideal team for Oxford would have Torp in the 10.

Tactics??Do you always dismiss tactics because you don’t understand them? Genuine question
A 3 year sticky patch. He hasn’t been excellent he’s been awful. Always out of position, a liability in the tackle, no pace, no good in the air, can’t read the line. Oh, but he does receive and make those 5 yards passes well.Nonsense. He's going through a sticky patch, but has been excellent since the end of last season. He has the best first touch in The League.
Absolutely barmy. I think the word you are looking for is “despite”.Why are you slagging off a player who got us to top of the league?
