Wasn’t just Ronaldo tho the whole team forgot how to play footballHappens to the best of them.
Even Ronaldo disappeared against Liverpool last week.

Yes I agree he's excellent at the football. I think he divides opinion as he's not all action where he's running round and throwing himself into challenges, or demanding the ball deep to switch play, which is the sort of thing Brannagan and Kane are often seen doing. It's easy to spot that sort of stuff but the things Henry does consistently well can go under the radar a little. As others have said he always seems to have a bit of extra time on the ball and I'd say his decision making and final ball are consistently very good.James Henry is an absolute crooner of a footballer, you lucky sods.
He’s not an all action tough guy but he’s incredibly productive, even if he’s having a quiet game he’s likely to pop up with a goal or assist, or a pass that leads to one.Yes I agree he's excellent at the football.

Christ. James has had a rough week .....
I could only dream of watching players like Henry in an Oxford shirt as a young lad when we were conference and l2 fodder. He's a really skilful player.I think KR has the same opinion. 200 games for Oxford if he plays today. Invaluable player for us in the last few years. Despite his lack of speed/acceleration he often seems to have that little bit of extra time on the ball that top players seem to make for themselves. Great vision and the ability to pick a pass. It’s often been said that when he plays well the team plays well. Look forward to the next 100 games and his hoped-for promotion “this year or next.”
I would say that if he and Cam are on form the whole side tends to play well. I would play him behind Taylor all the time. He would be the best 10 in L1 by a mile.I think KR has the same opinion. 200 games for Oxford if he plays today. Invaluable player for us in the last few years.

He is! Apart from the erm occasional missAbsolutely fantastic penalty taker as well.

It was. I am glad he found his shooting boots, he seemed to be in a rut of hitting shots wildly over the bar for a bit!Now that were a reet quality finish last nite.
He was just lulling opposition analysts and players into a false sense of security.It was. I am glad he found his shooting boots, he seemed to be in a rut of hitting shots wildly over the bar for a bit!
We do .......Pah, who needs a second striker when we can just bring Henry on for the last twenty minutes to snatch a winner every game?
