At fault for the first too, Vaulks & Moore called him out. The only notable thing he’s done is stick his arse out in the corner for 5 minutes v Hull.

Did he get sent off the next day (Sunday) too when playing for Wigan?

I had a look & thought 5 points max from March & April. Brings Saturday & last game of season into play. Hull, Portsmouth, Cardiff are mustn’t lose games.

Anyone from the FT picked up on the Oxford Utd stadium story? Planning decision imminent, next to Parkway station on the cam-oxf line & added context with the Man Utd story. £200m investment potential. 1 x supporter in the cabinet too…

Hadley Freeman in the Sunday Times?

4) no pre-programmed centre forward switch on 60 mins
5) if we get a new centre back do & do 4 at the back who gives way- EM or CB? I’d argue EM…
6) pressure off, felt 5 pts from these 3 games & 6 from 4 par. 8 would be 👍

We’re either getting tonked or we’ll end up getting a battling point. Harris, Rodrigues, Phillips, Moore need to step up & perform.

The players spoke openly about the changes made mid half against Preston when we were getting battered.
I blame SKY for the tactical switch back to 15:00 home kick offs.

That shirt on him looks tighter than Matt Phillips’!

Hadn’t factored in the Leeds thing but it’s a shout or 2,000 singing his name is quieter than 3,000 especially if Leeds aren’t going to fill their ground…
There’s signs (probably all ridiculous conspiracy theories) everywhere.

There’s something, data, points targets each month. Think The Dub touched on it, did they ever truly believe in him & did they really 💯 help him to succeed.

Sad though it is taking the emotion out of it & I’m gutted thinking thru the timelines, yesterday was the only day before Jan/Feb. “free hit” at Leeds, then a new mgr bounce for 2 at home. They decided on Thursday just hoped to get lucky on Saturday. Pure guessing by the way!

Great minds…. 😂

Wonder if any of those summer signings had anything to do with it… the “senior pro’s….” 🤔

Gutted yes but just had a hunch, it was either push the button today or wait until it’s arguably too late. Free hit against Leeds & then a new mgr bounce for Christmas. Pompey, Plymouth & Oxford could all have been shopping for the same guy. Why not last week before Hull got Selles???

Placheta & Harris need a big performance!

Licence / lease expires next year. Covenant expires, landlord wants to put houses on (city council not unhappy as huge backlog on housing land supply), won’t sell to the club (plus it’s not fit for purpose so cheaper to start from new. 🤞for January. Nuance that it’s Cherwell not OCC for new ground

One to keep an eye on is the proposed new stadium for Oxford United. Ticks your boxes. If ever something summed up “greybelt” it’s this. It’s scrubland in all but name.

Friend of mine & son (fans of 70 & 40 year) would be surprised if he made the end of this week. Thinks they’re gone, likewise good pal thinks the same about Pompey.

I went to that game! A pal offered Matt Day a burger at a corner we were so bad!

Straight back alongside Vaulks. Philips & Placheta off the bench. 3-4-2-1 to start & 4-4-2 at the end.
