Watford play somewhat a similar system to Barnsley, the major differences being they’re more attacking until their first goal and then they like to protect their lead once they score (Ivic has had considerable success doing this before). Given Joao is injured and that we were fortunate Barnsley don’...

Lucas Joao will probably not play the next game but Eddie has implied he will he back in time for Middlesbrough away. https://twitter.com/eddierfc7/status/13 ... 29536?s=21

Ah well. Hopefully a lesson for all the twitter fans giving it large to other clubs supporters about this signing. Don't celebrate too early. I know its face saving now but do we really want a player who just jumps at the opportunity to play for another club? Trained with us for 4 weeks but doesn't...

Looks like he’ll be signing for Bournemouth now. oxf*rd joke the EFL took so long to let us sign him when Bournemouth are not in a good financial position either.

Osho coming back would be underwhelming but I think many were disappointed he had left the club last summer. Give him a contract until January with the option for until the end of the season and I don’t think we’ve done badly here.

Exclusives has now reported the move has been hijacked by an unknown rival. I still have the feeling he’ll sign to be honest, hopefully Kia works his magic We know that Bournemouth are interested. Obviously if Brooks leaves then they will want somebody to replace him. It seems he’ll be staying, no ...

Surely the issue is the same soft embargo? There were rumours that ‘talks ended badly’ with Semedo which probably means everything was agreed until we said ‘hold on while we get approval’ Mendes was probably holding on too long also! Why else would we have Riquelme training this long and not signin...

oxf*rd hell chaps. Let's all have a party because one of our players is allegedly suspected of match fixing so we can sack him and get him off the wage budget easier? Don't try too hard to hide your feelings. That's cold. Don’t disagree. Puts a slight downer on the clubs reputation too if it’s hand...

Seems mainly focused on stuff such as yellow cards bets. I think Reading will exercise the right to terminate his contract if he’s found guilty fairly shortly...

Rejected for being too small by Spurs https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2020/09/26/r ... -on-cards/

I don’t think Wycombe have been terrible. Defensively they’re solid but they are making fatal mistakes that promoted teams make. Attacking wise though I’m stunned at how little quality they have. Swansea 2-0 up and Wycombe players got so frustrated with the lack of space they just hoofed it and hope...

Rafael solid as always, Araruna had some iffy moments defensively but good, Moore and Morrison composed. Omar Richards was excellent as was Olise, Joao and Rinomhota. Laurent looks more than adequate, Meite and Ejaria did ok but not at their best. Didn’t watch the last 20 minutes after Cardiff score...

Surely Everton are missing a trick by not sending Gibson to League One where he might actually have a chance at playing? If McIntyre really does want to be starting every week then I guess we have to loan him out (particularly if there are no offers for Moore) but I don't think it's the right thing...

If he renews his contract I completely support this. Why should we keep him as our fourth choice when he can be first choice for a club doing well in league one?

One thing I’m impressed by is how much better we are on set pieces. We seem a lot more intelligent with our movement with Moore in particular and it’s paid the dividends. Last year they barely beat the first man. Problem is if we play a team good at set pieces we might struggle to score goals... As ...

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..

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 a...
