I think MJ is our only sensible option. I just hope Oxford’s forwards aren’t quick, cause that would be his major downfall. But I do think he has some decent attributes to play there. His height, strength, he can tackle, read the game well and would be very well suited to bringing the ball out from the back and building up play the way Evatt likes. At @DazBob will be delighted 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter desperado Posted April 14, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2023 I predicted changes last week which caused debate and disagreement. I think the side will go back to something like we saw against Plymouth and Exeter. Taking out the predicted injured; Trafford Jones. MJ. Johnston Bradley. Morley. Sheehan. John Lee Charles. Kachunga Think Dempsey will be involved, more likely as a sub with everything that’s gone on this week and with him probably not training for large parts. Nlundulu did well, so between him Vic and Kachunga to partner Charles. 1-3 to The Wanderers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmed Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) If he is or isn’t “injured” he’s doing the right thing by taking him out of the firing line. He simply isn’t good enough. BTW I’m getting a bit fed up with “fatigue”, “emotional” & all the other buzz words. Get on with the bloody game FFS!!!!

Arrested development Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Going 4 at the back might be a good idea if we had iredale but I don't fancy Bradley and John/R.Williams in a back 4 away from home and also I don't like the idea of gethin as a centre back in a 2. Williams at CB seems the only option. Maybe they might have to play a deeper line to leave less spaces behind.

Wanderlust Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 On 11/04/2023 at 12:50, Wanderlust said: Karl Robinson has set his team out "not to lose" so it may well be one of those where we have possession and frustration in equal measure with Oxford building a wall and looking to score on the break and from set pieces. Interesting interview with Manning wherein the interviewer is trying to get him to say that they are going to offer an attacking threat - and Manning gives a thinly-veiled "we're set up not to lose" response. It's obvious we have to get the first goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesince63 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Well I think there clearly is a fitness problem in defence as IE is now saying we will be all about attack and out scoring Oxford, which looking at their record shouldn’t really be too hard. After his performance on Friday I’d like to see Dan alongside Dion up top, I think he’d give them a real run around with his strength and pace.

Mbette may have been told he was dropped for the next game or two and given the option; do we say it’s due to you being shit or do we say you’re injured.

captainmed Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I honestly think we will have to get 4 points from these next two aways and I think we will. Reason being I cannot see us winning all the 3 home games within the week. I’m worried about the Fleetwood game, not the other two. However if we do have to go to Bristol Rovers and win then I’m confident we will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Is Mbete definitely out though? Dan Barnes article in BN suggested he might start: Traff Jones Johnston Mbete Bradley Sheehan Morley John Dempsey Charles Kacha That said the BN doesn't really seem to know what's going on these days....

Their predicted starting line-ups are usually pretty accurate to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
