    Wilson 6 (nothing to do but was calm and accurate playing out with his feet) Latibeudiere 7 (solid. Being good in the air is a bonus at RB) Thomas 7 (generally defended and covered well. A few loose balls but better than recent) Kitching 7 (same as above) DaSilva 7.5 (great first touch. Didn't...

    Philip Billing

    He is obviously a quality player but the few times I saw him play last season I wasn't impressed with his work rate. Maybe that is not representative of how he normally plays but it stood out in those games.

    Match Thread Oxford United (H) [LC] 27 Aug 7:45pm KO

    Decent performance. Think Oxford Utd are a very poor side though. A couple of lapses in concentration near the end could have been costly. Need to watch that. I felt our movement in midfield and upfront was much better than recent.

    I would have EMC on the left, Bassette right and BTA down the middle.

    Very impressed with Bassette. Good pace and his runs off the ball have been brilliant. When Allen is given some time on the ball, he knits things together. He is great at finding pockets of space.

    Match Thread Oxford United (H) [LC] 27 Aug 7:45pm KO

    Goes to show where we are lacking. We can freshen up our keeper, CBs, LB, AM and front 3. Both Latibeudiere and Eccles should not be considered cover for RB imo. They both played a full game yesterday. If Burroughs had stayed he would be the natural choice. DCM is the other area where we are...

    Does the sleep therapist conduct their session just before kickoff I wonder?!

    Match Thread Bristol City (A) 24th August 12:30 KO

    We are so static and predictable at the moment. There was a noticeable difference when the subs came on. Palmer and Mason-Clark are not predictable. I would have also brought on Allen. At least he shows for the ball and gives some energy.

    Well, lesson learned - Palmer has to start for Torp with Rudoni playing deeper.

    Madsen deemed good enough to start straight away for QPR. How we need strengthening in CM.

    Our midfield have been nothing short of pathetic. The most timid midfield performance. Bristol City far more aggressive in the movement and tackling. Torp and Eccles so slow on the ball and so slow closing down. Latibeudiere, Dovin and Wright only ones coming out with any credit.

    Haji Wright

    I thought Wright looked more confident and aggressive against Oxford compared with last season. Hopefully he continues this as it changes him to a top player. If he can be more consistent within games he will be Premier league quality. I think at the moment at least, Simms is going to be hit or...

    Milan van Ewijk Appreciation Thread

    Getting to the byline is something he didn't do enough of last season. If he keeps doing so, he will create a lot of chances. Sakamoto's weight of pass is so good, it means Van Erwijk rarely needs much adjustment. They compliment each other so well.

    For the second goal Bidwell checked over his shoulder a few times to be aware of the Oxford player but then got drawn beneath the ball, which he didn't need to do, leaving the guy in acres of space. He did something very similar in an earlier game. I can't imagine that has been a coaching...

    I wonder if Eccles would agree to dye his hair sky blue for the rest of the season to make it is easier to distinguish him from Torp and make our ratings more accurate?

    Thought Latibeudiere's performance was higher than both Thomas's so far. His defending 1v1 near the end of the game v Harris was first class.

    I would need to watch the game again because I didn't think that was the case at all.
