Allen didn’t play well Saturday. But he was asked to play a role that he isn’t suited too, he’s a 8/10 mold - basically run about doing doggies type midfielder - NOT someone to take ball and start patterns off/dictate play etc.

Palmer is just a luxury I’m afraid. The bad outweighs the good. We can’t afford luxuries.

I don't get some of the Palmer reviews. He is not our all round most talented player but he can play passes others can't. Last season he played very well a number of times (see quarter final vs Wolves as one example), he was guilty in other games of giving the ball away too cheaply. However, this is a new season and so far he has assisted our only goal and I think it would be fairest to judge him and his contribution from here going forward as I get the sense he is a player who has the potential to still improve.

I think Kitching and Dasilva did enough on Tues to earn a start tomorrow but Robins isn't usually that ruthless so I'm sure Binks and Bidwell will continue (for now).

Wouldn't be overly surprised to see Lati in for Thomas though

And this is the frustration with Palmer. He's clearly so talented, but still insists on playing the no-look, two step over, simple five yard pass to the opposition!

He can make things happen with his vision and range of passes.
Flair players like him can look like world beaters when the right pass comes off, but you have to accept that they'll be frustrating when it doesn't.

Unfortunately he's an easy target for the boo boys.

If you want to get yourself up for tomorrow, have a look at this from an Oxford fan ! (will sing WLADITT with a bit more gusto at kick off).

**k em mate. f**k Coventry. All they're famous for is getting bombed in World War II.

I thought we would take more if I'm honest, as it looks like somewhere between 1,500/2,000 will be going. Saturday 3pm and not on Sky, and we'd have sold out. I think it is a pretty unattractive game for our first game back up, but that shouldn't really matter. I reckon we'll see that tomorrow's Oxford crowd will be many from a certain age, like you and me, who've waited a long time for this and are determined not to miss a minute of this season. I think a lot of the younger generation, who've only been going a few years, might not realise just how significant this game is?

What I do know is that when God handed out birthrights I'm f*****g glad mine said Oxfordshire on it and not Coventry. We'll be there, and we'll be proud, and if any Coventry t**t wants to try and take the P**s, bring it on. Lady Godiva can f**k off too.

They may have 20,000 more fans there than us, but at 10pm we'll have six more points than them, and be top of the league!

And yet he provided the 1 defence splitting pass that decided the match on Tuesday.

The one goal we've scored so far in 3 hours of football was put on a plate by Palmer, no one else, just Palmer.

No Bristol player could do likewise. No other City player could manage it, despite fielding half our squad.

you can still pay on the night though. Unless they've saved loads back for walk ups there's not a whole lot left for POTG and they're not all in one area which is probably why they aren't having cash turnstiles
Tickets will be available to buy from 9:30am to half-time (8:45pm) in the Matchday Ticket Office in the South-East corner. This is cashless, with card and contactless payment available.

That's a lot of screaming from someone who is likely to wear a tweed coat and is the only one out of his mates to prefer football to rugby.

They had 9836 fans at home to Norwich, they really aren’t a big club. c.1500 on a Friday night, £30 for the adult, “1 hour (+12mins) up the road” really isn’t bad. It’s not poor at all. They’re not gonna be taking 3000 almost anywhere.

Hes late 20s now - in his prime. No one is doubting the ability, thats premier league level. But it's the consisant application of that and thats why he's only playing at this level.

Think both parties have run their course. And the money he's asking for in new contract is just not worth it (imo)

Dovin in our 1. He did press today also. NO question he starts.

Good to see Wilson have good game though, tough season last year for him.

If true then I'll guess at Eccles in for Torp, Wright for EMC and I'll take a punt on BTA for Saka.

Would think Wright will definitely be one (in place of EMC?), Kitching may well start - that leaves perhaps Eccles as a starter in place of either Allen or Torp?
