I could understand dropping Kitchen and maybe Dasilva but we needed Onyeka in if available, which he is.

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
I'm pretty certain that FL does NOT see Oxford as an easy 3 points. Far from it.I imagine he sees Oxford as an easy 3 points so give both CBs a rest and ease Frank in half way through maybe…

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!!
Could be the other way round to be fair, Eccles played there against QPR and was probably our best player (admittedly a low bar) and shored up the midfield a lot more than Torp had been doing.
4-0 themOxford don't have a striker in their starting lineup

They are scrapping for their lives.
My only concern is that frank doesnt seem to think the hole in midfield is an issue and that its an attitude of we will keep going until we get it right
I'll be interested to see what FL has to say in the post match about Onyeka.My only concern is that frank doesnt seem to think the hole in midfield is an issue and that its an attitude of we will keep going until we get it right .
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.

Markelo signing is absolutely bizarre.
lmao the levels people go to to maintain their delusion that the CBs are amazing.
Even if we screw up enough to miss promotion the good thing is we won’t see you next yearIf you don’t win today, my predictions about you going up will be up the spout!
Not really if he’s a long term target, selling club informed us someone’s come in for him and we’ve moved to sign him. Guessing that’s what happened with Bassette…let’s hope this works out better
If signing him meant we couldn’t get someone else in a position need immediately then agree but I reckon there was probably cash also available for the right player, just didn’t happen
It’s really strange. He doesn’t strike me as a Premier League player so if he’s not ready for this season what is the point? Feels like the sort of signing a club who are expecting to be in this division next year would make.Markelo signing is absolutely bizarre.
Well we don’t know he’s not ready ability wise, he’s just unfitHes 23, Bassette was 19 when he signed. If this lad isn’t ready for Championship football this year he won’t be read for PL football next year so will be 25 before he’s likely to be there. Hardly one for the future. Just a very weird signing.
He hasn't even played yet. Two of the wingers in the squad are here on loan, it makes sense as a long term signing. The only thing Lampard has said about him is that he isn't match fit, nothing about not being ready for Championship football.Hes 23, Bassette was 19 when he signed. If this lad isn’t ready for Championship football this year he won’t be read for PL football next year so will be 25 before he’s likely to be there. Hardly one for the future. Just a very weird signing.
He's getting desperate with his scrabbling around for evidence to prove the Austin is poor at recruitment posts he makesWell we don’t know he’s not ready ability wise, he’s just unfit
Surely it’s occurred to you that he may just not be match fit yet?Hes 23, Bassette was 19 when he signed. If this lad isn’t ready for Championship football this year he won’t be read for PL football next year so will be 25 before he’s likely to be there. Hardly one for the future. Just a very weird signing.
Been critical of Wolf. Seems very average when I’ve seen him and screams panic signing.
So big game for him today. Hoping he proves he can add value.
