And there was a lot of sloppy control. Swift had the lowest pass accuracy of any of our starters. The most unsuccessful touches The joint second most dispossessed Just to insert an element of objectivity. His performances have been distinctly lacklustre since the restart having been one of our best ...

So if a majority say we should all go to C of E church next Sunday, atheists, agnostics, Jews, Muslims and Catholic etc should go as ordered Do you really believe all those taking the knee WANT TO take the knee? I would refuse. I would happily die for my refugees or my “son in law” by fcuk will I k...

I'm in no way itk, it's just someone I know who happened to work with an ex player over the summer but the impression I got was that it went a little bit deeper than just not liking him but a serious breakdown in the working relationship with a number of squad members. Also, the player in question ...

It should NOT be led by the FA or any organisation, that's the point! It's a personal gesture, and if the FA (for example) says, "You must kneel" then the gesture isn't real, honest or personal. Look, had this happened a few years ago, people like John Terry would be taking the knee. Thin...

I think there are probably a fair few people for who it isn't true that last season did the job in getting the message across. Racists gonna racist and people from black and other ethnic minority groups are on record saying they don't want more gestures of solidarity that quickly evaporate after the...

If we add Gibson, Ng & Riquelme, do we call this a good window? I'd still say we're 1 DM light, but certainly in decent shape. I think so, especially when you add Laurent in there as well. 4 good solid signings (hopefully) and filled (or at least tried to fill) glaring holes in the squad (full ...

Maybe the owners saw his experience and insight as valuable but didn't believe he was the right man for day to day, hands on involvement with the squad. The person I got information from has direct contact with a former player so I'd regard them as pretty reliable. You're on my 'not full of bullshi...

Seems this one is actually happening supposed to sign early next week. A left footed centre back isn’t easy to find and I think it’s a big risk insisting with Holmes and McIntyre as backups and allows us to adopt a 3 centre back system when we need to. I don’t think we should be considering him as ...

Does it matter if he was. If you choose to believe that Eddie guy off Twitter, the main problem with Bowen was Bowen. He was allegedly actively disliked by many at the club before he was replaced. For those not on Twitter ... any chance you can share what this 'Eddie guy' has claimed and what his s...

Dave, do us a replacement... pick your favourite comment.

Yeah. That was approaching legal proceedings. The thought that I'm being stalked and potentially in danger from someone deranged has started to occasionally cross my mind. It's oxf*rd relentless, following me all across the board. I reckon he must have posted about me at least 20 times across this ...

Think Bristol City will be contenders this season. They have spent a good deal of money over the summer. Bit up and down last season, weren't they? Bit more consistency and could certainly challenge. New manager this season, will be an interesting one to keep an eye on. Agree that consistency is th...

One of the most painful post match threads for quite a while Between this and the Ng thread, been a pretty awful day on here It isn't as bad as the Sheff weds (I think) one from last season where OMA was accusing Leon and spizz of being alcoholic women beaters. That was pretty oxf*rd bad. Yeah. Tha...

Yup, Struber comes across as a decent guy (got some decent results last season inheriting a ‘relegated’ team).....delighted that they stayed up last season. He was known as the Gareth ainsworth of the Championship last year. Of course with Wycombe undeservedly fluking promotion he is no longer allo...

That's awful.

39% win rate having been in a relegation fight. Not bad at all!

50% win rate at Wolfsberger

Done some work in the real world too.

Apparently has been very good in league one so far as well as league two which is good to see. Will he be happy signing for us as a backup though? Yiadom is irreplaceable when fit and it wouldn’t be too good for his confidence to lose his place as soon as Yiadom comes back from his injury.. Don't t...

JUstseen the post match comments from the Barnsley manager. I reckon almost every manager would have whinged that the decisions cost them, that they deserved to win etcetc. Their guy does say the cards were decisive, but doesn’t complain, doesn’t have a go at the ref and generally comes across as a...
