Still better than our current forwards 😆 # Our forwards couldn't score in a brothel , open your eyes , jeez 🙄😆

Because we have to win I'd have Garrity alongside Ojo, Lowe to the bench and Chislett in Garrity's place.  Nothing to lose now.

Chislett doesn't appear to play as well/get in the game when he comes on as a sub.

Is Weir injured.

Shouldn't that say "amazed when we win"? So long since I saw us win I have forgotten what it feels like...

December 16th  3-2 v Wigan methinks.

I believe - and I might be wrong on this - we’ll be going 4.4.2 with Lowe & Ojo sitting, Garrity supporting Willo, and pace down the sides. So I really don’t understand why people are saying Chislett > Lowe because they are completely different players. At least it also feels like we’ve options off the bench - not exactly great ones admittedly, but options nonetheless. 

A Stoke mate of mine, we was as pessimistic about their plight as we are of ours, has seen Schumacher shuffling the pack largely at the expense of his footballing principles to resort to attritional football to essential ‘do what it takes’ to stay up.

Whilst I still think it’s too late for us, I applaud Moore for (presumably) a similar approach. 

 

Yeah maybe so but have we got a plan 

Cos our defence has more holes in it than my cheese grater in the kitchen

29th Dec, 3-0 Blackpool at home

We haven't won for over two and half months and have only picked up 3 wins in 6 months. Today is literally the 6 months ticking over. 182 days.

You would expect Ethan Chislett to be somewhere in the 11!

For all his legendary status by my quick count off wikipedia he scored 47 goals in League 1 with 12 being the most in one season.

Doesn't look like a natural defender either

Indeed plus less grit than Staffordshire County Council on a frozen January morning. But…..you just never know 🫣

Can only hope!!!

Come on vale. 🙏 

[PVFC764]

Was that Vale attacking in the first minute and making their goalie work.

Come on Vale.

5 out of 6 of Oxford subs would walk into our first team. I know it keeps being said but our squad is shocking. No depth at all. 

Bodin always scores against us. Brannagan is a cracking player. Dale, Murphy and Rodrigues is a solid midfield. Mark Harris on the bench too. It's going to be a very tricky game. 

I'd snatch your hand off for a draw.
