Onyeka needs to get his priorities right and tell his Mrs he will see her after winning us 3 points.

I think we will win but it will be a tough game with Oxford scrapping for survival , I reckon we get a long overdue penalty today .. ( and then miss it )

Surely someone on here is sad enough / with their kids and have been to see the players come in.

Any sign of Frank (the new one)?

I’d take a 1-0 if it meant our defence look better

Ipswich lost to them. Do they have no business being at the top?

Not happy with Thomas then!

So much for Woolfenden being bombed out

Bold to drop both centre backs as much as they both deserve it.

I would have started Onyeka.

His position is different to most. He is an enforcer and cuts out attacks covering all of the pitch. The last time we signed a player in a similar position was Grimes and he slotted straight in. Onyeka is a premium Grimes.

I can’t lie, I’m a little worried about this team……

Hope I’m proved wrong

Be interesting to see what happens. Clean sheet today but Thomas and kitching both back for Boro?

I'm beginning to worry about FL, that's not our strongest team.

I would like to have seen Woolfenden in as part of a back three but it's a chance for us to see what he is made of.

Onyeka will hopefully get at least half an hour - unless he gets the call from the maternity hospital - as I want him to start against Middlesbrough.

Glad thomas and kitching have been dropped. For nothing more than it sends a good message to the squad. I rate both of them, but form is as important as skillset.

Well well well! Can’t really argue with the starting line up. Grimes and DaSilva can count themselves very fortunate. Time to get the fire back in the belly and if that is not a kick up the arse for some I don’t know what will be.

Brave to drop both CBs, I would have just gone Wolf for Kitch. But, we've been asking for him to change things so can't complain when he does.

I agree with not starting Onyeka though, I'd have done the same.

On the other hand, our strongest team has given up a one nil lead in the last 2 away games.

I wonder if he's been up all night with his wife, what with her due to give birth

I imagine he sees Oxford as an easy 3 points so give both CBs a rest and ease Frank in half way through maybe…

Torp alongside Grimes with Eccles at 10 worries me too, that’s basically asking Grimes to do the job of two or even three midfielders, and also drop in to cover two CBs who haven’t played much this season, it could be a complete car crash

also, if Minny isn’t fancied on the left from the start, why not play Haji there and Simms up front then bring Minny on for Simms and push Haji up front later on? why have we bought a player in a specific position as cover then tried to play someone else out of position instead?

anyway, 3 points today and prove these doubters (me) wrong! PUSB!!

Fair play to FL. Made some big calls and rightly so in my view.

Time for those selected to show they deserve their spot and put in a shift. Apart from EMC, the bench is pretty stacked, which is good to see.

No more excuses. It's time to switch on and put a run together.

It'll be a battle but 2-0 City
