Need a win here, with Oxford winning escaping relegation still not a given

As poor as they are, a draw would be an ok result away from home in these conditions. I just want to see some signs of improvement.

Would like to see some tactical flexibility here. Not convinced by Saka away from home and if he's not playing then there are too many square pegs in the formation.

Careful, any posts asking for our Elite Tactician to show his tactical prowess get jumped on.

I mean, it’s an entirely unfair ask after all.

Think it would be good for Simms if he's been told he's going to get a run of games rather than going out thinking he's got 60 minutes to impress before he's subbed off.

Why would he be told that? He's no right to it the way he's performed and needs to play his way back in.

Hope Simms is really up for this and shows some promise and threat.
Needs someone to thread passes into channels for him. Maybe Torp can step up...
A clean sheet would be a real positive as well.
Click to expand...
So not only will we have to watch a lack of creativity in midfield, no suply from Sakamoto, and backwards, backwards, sideways passing, we've now lost the only movement and pace we had upfront!

Oh such joy!

I just hope Frank has put a rocket up one or two arses and can get a performance out of us.

I'm usually very optimistic. And I hope I'm wrong, but this looks like another boring 0-0 to me.

I think FL is playing our best available lineup. We desperately need Haji and EMC back asap.

I hope that Simms can find some form and get a goal.

Hopefully it's a bag of 11 rockets some lube, and a pack of matches.

He hasn’t been training but you thought he might make the bench?

It's not an uncommon thing to do in professional sport. The theory being players respond differently if they know they aren't getting dropped after one game.

Well whilst he has been injured he has had a lot of time on his hands so has turned his hands to making tables and chairs so certainly would have thought should have been able to make a bench.

Last season simms played most games. He only scored in one of his first 20 odd games. If he wants to start he has to show he wants it

I’m not sure Sheaf Eccles Torp is our best available midfield….

Rudoni needs to be in there somewhere surely, but then the dilemma is who to play on the left, JDS? BTA?

After the terrible performance against Millwall, we need a good performance today. More than 1 shot on target would be an improvement.

For me JDS and BTS don’t make our best available starting lineup, even in the absence of Haji and EMC.

Ball in the corner by their penalty area, only we could pass it back to the defence then out of play

Big Simms fan.

Hope he has a great game goal - and a goal would be even better - and starts a little run.

Bassette is best as an impact sub at this point, for all his pointing and running, his impact isn’t there yet. And that’s fine, he’s young and this is the most competitive league he’s played in. He’ll be a star no doubt.
