I think he's worth another chance tbh. The team was shit when he was playing, now there is a settled team and a formation that protects our CBs better. You expect someone at his age to be slower, but his experience should make up for that.

Birmingham have been consistently almost as shit as us while he played there. And when he's played for us he just didn't seem to have any understanding or positional sense with his partner. I hate criticising effort because its so easy, lazy and often unfair, but he just looked like he was phoning it in a fair bit.WestYorksRoyal wrote:I think he's worth another chance tbh.

Abrefa played in the unders recently, but it seems like Selles really doesn't rate him for some reason because he's been absolutely no where near the squad when we only have one RB and he's been out a fair bit.Hendo wrote:Is Aferba back yet?

Leavea a bit of a gap at LB admittedly

Can't see that Arsenal lad coming straight in to a game like this.
They wont know whether to shit, shave or shampoo in front of a crowd over 8/9 kClyde1998 wrote:The Oxford forum suggests it's going to be a crowd of around 10,700 tomorrow based on current ticket sales. Would be their second highest attendance of the season behind Derby (11,219).
Oxford do have an sizable area of segregation between home and away fans - around one and a half blocks (IIRC) - so I'm not sure what the maximum possible attendance would be. Seems to be around 500 tickets left in the home ends though.
Home fans have had weeks to buy tickets, you think they’d be grateful the seats are filled because home fans don’t want them, so long as away fans in home areas are sensible.Stranded wrote:Looks like Oxford are finding fans going in the home end and cancelling tickets.

If that's real, Oxford should be ashamed at the quality of their communications. It's riddled with errors. Although that passage is surprisingly within the Ground Regs, which unenforceably but officially bars entry to neutrals.Clyde1998 wrote:Can't imagine this is a real email: https://twitter.com/no_context_rfc/stat ... 43/photo/1 (However: https://twitter.com/RDG1871/status/1753 ... 25/photo/1)Stranded wrote:Looks like Oxford are finding fans going in the home end and cancelling tickets.
Seems far too grammatically weak to be real.
