Think it’s worth mentioning, and I might be wrong, that the Yellow Army and the Oxford fanatics were two different groups. I’ve helped with the Yellow Army in the past (I think ran by Joe Nicholls) and he has initiated an uplift in displays/atmosphere this time around, not the Fanatics. I...

Worth looking through the comments here…especially from Bennett

Depends on the quality of each provider and the characteristics they take into account. On the most basic level, angle and distance to the goal will come up with something. StatsBomb then take into account players between the goal, goal keeper position and a host of other things...

StatsBomb have Saturday as 3.88 for Oxford with just over 3xG vs fleetwood. Show the differences in industry numbers along with conclusions from single game stats

That's why we have xT 😎

Lots of variability in company xG. Fotmob, run by Opta here (for Saturday).

Craig Short

This feels an important point when looking at the Manning period. He permanently had Hogg by his side, in discussions. It most probably allowed one to coach whilst the other dealt with the off field mess day to day also. Des is now backed up by the dude who applied for the manager position...

PRB announced the Head Groundsman’s last game on Tuesday. Would think the club could do a clap and a wave whilst presenting him something after 20+ years at the club. All the best to Williams in his future challenges. The rate at which the club is turning over staff is alarming

4 players back next weekend. By the time we have a fully fit squad, the season will be gone. The squad is set up for 4231, but Des stated his preferred system is 343 or 433…he is clearly having to adapt, but we are now 13(?) league matches into his tenure and I think most would struggle to...

3 today I reckon

Didn’t Des mention bringing in players that are fit, have been playing games and ready to contribute immediately at the weekend? Doesn’t sound very loan-y. Has however said possible loan players have been to the training ground with ‘dominos to fall’. So who knows. Depending how the next...

Think I would be going for El Mizouni at this point

Desperate for some structure around Des. Each week I’m watching hoping to see some sort of game plan, but as yet, we haven’t seen a player uplift and no clear identity. He already looks ground down by the experience. He doesn’t look to have much around him. Lots of parallels with KR being...

Assuming you are going off this?

It’s all one paced - we recruit the same ‘type’ over again. We lack any player that can just carry us 20/30 yards up the pitch. Was the same vs Derby. The bench is all the same…mceachran, henry. We lack athleticism (I don’t just mean a big nasty bastard in midfield, but players that can go box...

My point was around loans, which I think we seem to agree the 3rd striker will most probably be? Unless we sign a development forward like Plymouth did with Waine. I'm very much of the opinion we should be doing what we can for a second half push - I'm opinion that should also include a...
