One of several options?? Or has Stockton come to a halt?

12 appearances, 1 goal. 40 starts in 5 seasons (according to that article).
He sounds rubbish. Not good enough! Not for me. We can do better (etc).12 appearances, 1 goal. 40 starts in 5 seasons (according to that article).
Trouble is we have a lot of Saturday followed by Tuesday football coming up. We have been pretty lucky so far in that Taylor has time to recover but even then the workload is quite a heavy for a 33 year old playing on his own up front.L
Literally zero chance Taylor would be dropped, would probably change formation to accommodate, what formation we finished with Saturday is what we would look at using, especially if we sign Cadden as well.
Agyei replacement maybe? Defo one for the future.
Do you not think we would do exactly that if we could?!?Why imo unless it’s a Loan, we need to get all our business done by then. Don’t want to be leaving it till the last day.
This sounds more like an Oxford signing! A name out of nowhere that we think has been undervalued. Stats not great but could be someone to develop.

Matty is 31 , turns 32 30th March !Trouble is we have a lot of Saturday followed by Tuesday football coming up. We have been pretty lucky so far in that Taylor has time to recover but even then the workload is quite a heavy for a 33 year old playing on his own up front.
I apologise, must of been thinking how old he will be when his contract expires, but as you say he has been floggedMatty is 31 , turns 32 30th March !
Yes we do need a viable replacement as we have flogged him hard this season .

And then we sign Jerome Sinclair on deadline day....

No THATS an interesting one...
Completely agree Mad Dog - this window should be scrapped. It causes so much unrest in squads, players on the move are rarely match fit & some clubs sign someone in desperation to appease fan pressure.Do you not think we would do exactly that if we could?!?
We’re not just sat around saying “let’s just wait until deadline day, for a laugh, it’ll be fine”
January is a tricky transfer window to get the right deals done, as teams will be losing players halfway through the season, so will need to make sure they can replace them or at least cope without them, before committing to letting them leave.
Personally, I’d scrap the January transfer window all together, as it just causes too much disruption. Teams had all summer to get their squad right, and that should be that.
It would be more enjoyable that way, as you’d know exactly what the squad was all season, just allow clubs to build bigger squads over the summer, then players could dip in and out of form, injuries could be dealt with, and the whole squad plays their part, without the disruption and anxiety of who you might lose halfway through the campaign, and risk detailing the season.
But the scummy money men wouldn’t ever allow that, so here we are…
I'd imagine another couple of seasons easily tbh . Needs someone to push him / cover him better than what we have though .I have every faith Matty is far from knackered and could easily offer another season so please, let's not write him off
However, planning for the future is definitely required
It's only my opinion but surely there's a young ambitious forward out there who would be desperate to come to Oxford Utd and make a name for himself. Our track record with young players is outstanding. I'm slightly confused how there isn't a queue at the door. I guess "bigger" clubs hold on to them????
Plus, I'd love to see our substantial (for league one) youth system start to push some more prospects out. Realistically, is there anyone who is coming through that we would bet our homes on being a starter within the next 18months?
They aren't - it's a gossip article.Why would two C'ship teams also be sniffing around if he wasn't any good?...
Genuine question... I don't know

Think Goodrham will be the first one of hopefully many in and around the first team squad next season
