We need the stability and flair of Saka and MVE down the right. It would be mad to break that, especially early on when we'll probably be under pressure.
Kitching did well against their lot. So I'd put him in for Lati.

Can see us scoring goals. God knows which way it will go. Except against the really big clubs like Leeds I always think we have a chance of a win.
Key decisions
Bidwell v Da Silva - Bidwell every time, even off form, and particularly away from home
Central defence - Thomas and Kitching for me, but it will be as per Oxford, which puts a high onus on Binks to deal with the aerial stuff
Attack - Haji plus two from Simms, EMC and Sakamoto. Might just tinker with EMC on the right and use Saka as an impact sub against a tiring defence.
If we want to go up we need to lessen that thinking this season.Take a draw!
No.They said what we've sold yet?
But I want midtable you numptyIf we want to go up we need to lessen that thinking this season.
Why??? All the money we've spent on players, the number of extra training staff we've employed, the investment in our training ground, the record numbers of season tickets sold, and the expectation level of our owner etc etc and you'd really be happy with a draw!!!Take a draw!

You need to raise your ambition.
If we're serious about finishing top 6, you've got to go to Bristol and expect 3 points.
Burnley fans, along with Luton, Sheffield utd, and Leeds fans would all expect 3 points at Bristol and we have to be the same.
Leeds havnt just come down, they never went up, and we took 4 points off them last season.Did I miss something or does covcity4life play for us? Not sure he does, it’s not really on him to be ambitious?! He’d take a draw, I’m fairly certain he’d prefer a win!
All of the teams you have mentioned have just come down from the Premier League.
A draw away from home against this Bristol team would be a good result if backed up by a win at home against Norwich.
Leeds havnt just come down, they never went up, and we took 4 points off them last season.
The 4 teams I mentioned are all tipped for a top 6 finish, that would mean there's only 2 places left, so we have to compete with those teams if we want success.
Drawing away and winning at home is never a bad return of course, but we are 100% capable of winning at teams like Bristol.
(And Stoke tbf, so we are behind the points average)
Return?Doubt he'll change a winning side, but Kitching for Binks would be my change.
If Sheaf is available, doubt he will be started.
Rodrigues close to a return?
Literally can’t happenDraw all our away games and win the home ones and we would go up.
Literally can’t happen
To football...?Return?
I’ll end this on a positive because Binks’ work in possession is the best we have.
ChristIt is, which is why I wonder if he could fill in for Sheaf while he is out injured.
If it works - and I accept that it might not - pairing both of them together when Sheaf is back could shore up our defensive capabilities.

We could re-sign Godden. And if we also got Nuno Espirito Santo in as manager, we could boast the holy trinity.That’s a very interesting choice that hadn’t occurred to me.
We need some divine intervention to help us keep a clean sheet, so probably an excellent suggestion.
Would you play Him as a CB or a holding midfielder?
What next? Doubting Thomas in for Bobby Thomas?
I thought Binks could of done better for both Oxford goals. (not the only one though)Surely going to keep a winning side.
Da Silva for Bidwell ….no thanks.
Kitching for Binks ….no thanks.
The only one who looked a bit out of sorts on Friday was Simms but I’d back him to score again at Trashton Gate
Simms got in the way for the first when he should of cleared it or not even been there. An experienced CB would of taken control of thatI thought Binks could of done better for both Oxford goals. (not the only one though)
For me Kitching starts, along with Thomas, I just hope Thomas has his passing boots on.
Blinks at dcm? He can tackle, head the ball, is good in possession and has a good range of passes, all the things we’re looking for. Might be worth a try, win the ball, give it Rudoni to progress it.
I'd be very interested to see it tried.Blinks at dcm? He can tackle, head the ball, is good in possession and has a good range of passes, all the things we’re looking for. Might be worth a try, win the ball, give it Rudoni to progress it.
He usually does, he usually passes it to one of the opponents attacking midfieldersI thought Binks could of done better for both Oxford goals. (not the only one though)
