Re: The window closes at 7pm on Monday 2nd February

Stranded A relative random over on Twitter claiming they have been told that is dead.

So club announcement at 18:00 then.


Waiting to hear from Brogue, before throwing in the towel on this one

Re: The window closes at 7pm on Monday 2nd February

*xf*rd now reportedly after him so that’ll be the end of that. Maybe. Depends on what his advisors say to him. Be part of an Ox*ord team that's in a Championship relegation battle, or at Reading where you'll almost certainly be a starter, looking up instead of down and training and playing in bette...

Re: The window closes at 7pm on Monday 2nd February

Any more Reading business either in or out? Just expecting Savage to depart to a Championship relegation battle somewhere and for Garcia to go for a pittance. Hoping though that, if Savage goes, the club would have a replacement target lined up. The Savage situation aside, I'd like to see proper co...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Exeter City (h)

Hope I'm proven wrong, but I never feel confident when I see the XI and don't have a clue what the formation is. Keane as a no.10? Doyle on the wing? Kyerewaa at RWB? Your guess as good as mine. Straight 442? Pereira Nyambe O’Connor Dorsett Roberts Kyerewaa Savage Wing Doyle Marriott Keane That is ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (h)

Was Stevens really in the Academy, wasn’t he just an associated schoolboy for a year before signing with *xf*rd’s youth system? Kelvin too.....think some have been introduced too early in the past though through necessity due to the restrictions the club were under. I think Kelvin and Garcia at lea...

Re: EFL squad rules

deleted my post as the 2004 date doesn't equate to 24, but 2002 - so my premise didnt make sense No, I think you were right. We can remove Elliott from the squad as he's out for the season anyway, so that's one. I agree with you that the 3 most likely candidates for a loan or sale are probably Stic...

Re: Ryan Nyambe - Confimred

Supposedly quick; works hard; defensively good. On the face of it, a positive loan for us. I do think this will allow at least one of Abrefa or Ahmed to go on loan, which will hopefully have a positive impact on their development. I wouldn't be surprised if they both went out on loan. The right bac...

Re: a RB and a LB signings imminent

I've been thinking that Richardson might want to play Marriott and Keane up front together, but our full back positions are possibly too weak to play it confidently. Whether that's 442 or 352, Dorsett isn't a full back and Yiadom is getting on a bit now. Good positions to sign for me and means Dorse...

Re: Expecting two to be announced today/very soon

I think it’s more likely you pick those up end of season but yeah it’d be nice to pick up a few more of the Savage types we did a couple of years ago and more time for academy lads I do think it’s prob experience that gets you out of this division generally though Yeah, absolutely agree with this. ...

Re: Savage in the hole

I'd say Savage is better at those cute little through balls and 1-2's around the top of the box than Wing is (his ball to Wing for his goal against Bristol Rovers away last season, for example). Wing is probably better at the longer balls over the top (see Marriott's goal vs Plymouth) and we all kno...

Re: What to do with the troublesome AM role?

Do the sensible thing and don’t have one. If there is an insistence on playing a 4 3 3, play a flat three that pushes and drops, in and out of possession. When Knibbs was here, he actually played more of a free role off of Smith, more than as a creative number 10. He was never a midfield player and...

I could easily see tonight being our first tonking of the season. Between ol' wet lettuice wrists Stevens and at least one of Burns and Stickland, maybe both, likely to start, Stevenage will have a field day. Stevens is a huge worry Are Williams and Paudie definitely out? I’m expecting both to star...
