    Transfer News 2022/23 Season Incoming Transfers and a few other things

    10 assists, 11 goal involvements. Only Taylor, Sykes, brannagan better, Holland has the same. I’m not saying break the bank for him, if we don’t get him I won’t be upset or annoyed, but keeping the front line that has scored more goals than anybody else isn’t a bad idea surely? I’d say whyte...

    Transfer News 2022/23 Season Incoming Transfers and a few other things

    Sean Raggert on a free from Pompey? Not signed a new contract, having 4cbs of Moore, McNally, brown, raggert, with long as a reserve too would be good depth. As much as I don’t think they have done amazing, both Holland and whyte, if not hugely expensive, would be welcome back in my eyes. The...

    Ex Player Herbie Kane

    Herbie Kane, in my opinion is the most technically gifted player we have had since roofe. CamBran tops him of course for all round game! The weakness of Kane is, which has been said, his reluctance to put his foot through it when required, cost us a goal at fleetwood and then today. He needs...

    Matches The League 1 Promotion Run In

    I don’t disagree. But at the end of the day, they are as likely to be in the same division as us next season as they are in the championship. It’s the same as Plymouth. People raves about them last week and how Robinson needed to learn from their manager. Yet their issue is the same as ours...

    Manager/Coach Robbo out. Thread number 2

    Sykes was taken off because we were overrun on that side. He didn’t defend. Brown was having a tough second half and got no help at all. Sykes should have come off earlier

    Manager/Coach Robbo out. Thread number 2

    Not sure if mentioned anywhere in this thread on our budget. My thought was that it was top 8 (where we should finish this year) In terms of progress, can people really say we haven’t progressed? We are on for more points this season than previous years. If anybody offered us 72points with 3...

    All very fair! Looking forward to the MK game at home.

    Away Match Day Thread 02/04/2022 L1: Plymouth Argyle v OUFC

    Completely agree with most of what you say. My question would be what is it about MK Dons that you think is championship quality? At their place, they absolutely dominated us first half, but second half they couldn’t get out of their own box. As I say, don’t disagree, just interested whether you...

    Away Match Day Thread 02/04/2022 L1: Plymouth Argyle v OUFC

    Tough one today. If Moore doesn’t get ill, I think we play 4 at the back today. 5 at the back appears to have made us slightly more solid, but with baldock, we don’t have that same threat going forward. Nobody giving Taylor chances. Until Baldock is back, 4-3-3 please! Still in our hands, two...

    Away Match Day Thread 01/02/2022 L1: Wigan Athletic v OUFC

    Interesting to see people talk about McGuane needing the space which he is often not afforded against the better sides. I think one of his big strengths is getting out of tight spaces and taking out the oppositions midfield with one turn. His biggest flaw is going down too easily, he doesn’t...

    Transfer News January 2021/22 Transfer Window

    I agree on the need for a cb, but to say we are shipping goals is not accurate, we have conceded the 3rd least amount of goals in the league fewer than Wycombe who everybody said were fantastic defensively. As I say, I don’t disagree with the need for a CB though

    This is a good point. So long as we get what we want, clubs like Lincoln strengthening in this way can only help us, taking points of those hopefully around us!

    Transfer News January 2021/22 Transfer Window

    Robinson can’t win, says we will get business done, it doesn’t happen, criticised. Doesn’t say anything, criticised for not saying anything. There is more than just want in transfers, if you’ve watched the Sunderland documentary and class of 92 series, it shows this a little bit. I will agree...

    Transfer News January 2021/22 Transfer Window

    Yes that’s a fair point, and I guess it comes down to making sure you have a fair valuation for each player. Also you’d know the risks of the player. For example brannagan, I think it will be likely we know that if we get promoted he signs a 2 year deal, if not he’s off. Can you have that same...

    Transfer News January 2021/22 Transfer Window

    The question here is should we be operating a policy like Peterborough? It doesn’t matter who it is, if somebody won’t sign a contract when they only have 1 year left, they get transfer listed, so they get a fee. Even if that means losing a good player. They did it with Mo Eisa most recently I...

    Transfer News January 2021/22 Transfer Window

    I said this is the match thread from Wycombe. I don’t think a defensive midfielder is what we need. I feel it’s a powerful, dynamic midfielder, like sercombe (only L1 standard) who will drive us forward. In our 2016 promotion we had lundstrum in CDM, and Kane is as good. This kind of player...

    Away Match Day Thread 15/01/2022 L1: Wycombe Wanderers v OUFC

    I think that the view of needing a hard nut in midfield is not quite right. I might be in the minority, but I felt we defended ok yesterday, bullied at centre half more than CDM. And when I look back at our promotion sides of both 2010 and 2016, we are lacking in two major areas. We miss a big...

    Away Match Build Up 15/01/2022 L1: Wycombe Wanderers v OUFC

    I think it’s well documented Mous needed to be a registered player for his PFA role, and that’s why he’s still in the playing squad, he can’t be relied on fitness wise for multiple games, and it’s situations like this that if we want to have “big club mentality” that we have to make some tough...

    Away Match Build Up 15/01/2022 L1: Wycombe Wanderers v OUFC

    I think with Kane, CB and Gorrin, we are really going to lack that fight and power defensively in midfield. If Mous is fit enough he should play CDM, if not, I’d move long into there. Solid defensively and positionally, and technically as good on the ball as Gorrin. Forde can fill in at full...
