Three CBs at the club now, nice one Mowbray

 

[Nick]

Would that mean we can get an emergency loan?

With Willis sounding a bit dodgy yesterday, it leaves us with Turnbull and Harries.

If one of those then gets injured...

Hahaha. We should sign a whole backup squad in case any other players have to retire.

 

[ccfchoi87]

No we should have kept the decent centre back we had in Aaron Martin rather than relying on an OAP, a kid and Jordan Willis who was injured all last season

 

[Oz Howie]

Chris Stokes can play CB

 

[Nick]

Hahaha. We should sign a whole backup squad in case any other players have to retire.

No, backup players in case people get injured / suspended.

If Turnbull gets sent off, we could have Finch and Harries at centre half.

I thought that emergency loans outside the window could only be goalkeepers.

 

[shy_tall_knight]

Another player using the club as part of his wind down from football, don't want to sound unnecessarily harsh but didn't impress me last year lost nearly every game that he played in this season, too old and slow as sad that it may be for him personally just want the best for the club and he wasn't it by the time he joined us.

 

[Oz Howie]

Now if we could just get Tudgay to do the same!

 

[Nick]

I know but could blame it all on Ricketts' Knee, or get one who can play centre half

Is Stokes training now?
Will be a class left sided CB once fully fit

 

[Nick]

Only just on the "grass" it said recently. I'd say a month away at least, then there is match fitness.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Hahaha. We should sign a whole backup squad in case any other players have to retire.

Four CBs wasn't enough anyway, especially when one was Sam Ricketts and another is a youth player. Now it's three and only one of them is right sided.

 

[Oz Howie]

Close to playing in the U 23's to get match fit

 

[Nick]

Close to playing in the U 23's to get match fit

Ah, even better then. Thought he had just started playing football again.

 

[Joy Division]

All the best Sam.

[covcity4life]

p.s aaron martin has played like 7 games for oxford? and 4 of them were in cups like JPT. stop acting like he was baresi

A player who is not a chav? You know them all personally then even though you barely go to games. Aaron Martin is better than turnbull, he offers more experience than harries and isn't an OAP like ricketts. Oh and he's right footed

 

[ajsccfc]

Moving into coaching explains why he's now Samuel Ricketts. The name 'Sam' is a no-go in management at the moment.

 

[Covstu]

All the best Sam (Samuel), thanks for the last few years.

i hardly go to games? i have been to an average of 15 every season since we moved to ricoh. please dont chat shit because your martin love has now been shown up. or maybe you are just jealous i can afford to go on holidays? if so reassess your life.

and if you listen to the interviews you will know what i mean about chav. sam is articulate and its nice to hear sometimes instead of normal youth slang.

 

[ccfchoi87]

You've barely been this season have you? I don't love Aaron Martin I said he's decent, your love for Mowbray has been shown up but you can't admit it can you. I couldn't give a fuck how the players talk it's what they do on the pitch that counts.

 

[ajsccfc]

I did notice this from Ricketts' statement.

Ayo, bare gratitude to the top fans of the clubs I have played at for the mad props. Last but not least, I wish to thank my family for being my inspiration and for having always been there for me. Get me yeah?

 

[Esoterica]

Sad to hear his Vitamin D deficiency has finally got the better of him.

 

[Ash]

Well at least you can't fault the timing, thanks Samuel!

i have been 4 times ffs, and before that i couldnt go because i was not in the country!!!!!!!!!!!!! its pathetic to use that in your arguments against me.

what has mowbray got to do with this? you seem intent on arguing.

 

[Captain Dart]

Ricketts still has a contract till end of season.

Even though he has retired I suppose the club still has to pay him, though there might be an insurance payout to cover the costs.

Was our best defender last season.

 

[no_loyalty]

Good honest pro, good luck in the future Sam (I wish I could have retired at 35)

 

[Otis]

Yeah, ditto that and at first he was excellent for us.

Makes you wonder whether his poor form tied in with him having knee problems and he was trying to play through it.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

All the best Sam, and thanks for your time.

There is a really good Finnish international that can play at CB, he's been really impressive since September, goes by the name of Juhani Ojala.

Oh wait...

I guess at least we have Aaron Martin!

I'd imagine they'd be an insurance payout there rather than us paying the remainder of his contract. Fair play to him though, could have easily spent the rest of the season injured and continued to take a wage from us.

Especially if you're over 6 ft
