Bidwell
Binks
Latibeaudiere
van Ewijk
Palmer
Eccles
Sheaf
Sakamoto
O'Hare
Simms

 

[Para1140]

...and one for those who have seen both games so far. What is the best central defence combo. Thomas and ?

Based on the first two games Id go Kitchen and Binks

Yeah my mistake, thought you were saying they tested players last night while we didn’t

Agree that we can’t really take much from that cup game last season.

Oxford have apparently sold 1350. Their own fans are even saying that it's poor.

Pretty poor that for an hour or so up the road. Guess they will just need a club mini bus when they have to travel to places like Sunderland and M'boro.

not far to go as well

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Is Kitching still suspended?

Oh do keep up.

 

[Marty]

Could be 1-0 them or 5-0 us. I fancy a home win, we'll proper struggle to break them down. 2-0 Simms and Rudoni.

I'm thick as a plank and have never understood these posts.

What do these numbers actually represent?

Anyone know how the 21's did yesterday?

The Super Duper Ratings Thread

A few doodles to see if there are any patterns in the data. First off, the Glicko-2 representation of the league based on team strength rather than 3pts for win, and 1pt for a draw. Glicko-2 has Ipswich Town as the strongest team but Leicester City scored more league points to tip it. A...

The numbers are missing on the above thread for a purpose, The key is what you see in the earlier post.

Few chunks available in 10 and FZ but overall sales looking decent our end. With about 1500 of them I'd expect 25000 at least to start off the season!

[RoboCCFC90]

Go 4-3-3 to start and attack from the off.

Dovin, MVE, Binks, Kitching, Bidwell, Eccles, Torp, Rudoni, BTA, EMC, Simms

2-0 win, get some more confidence in the team.

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

It'll feel like a win. I always think half empty but morph it somehow into a half full by full time .

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Oxford are better than when we faced them in the Cup. but you'd still hope we have enough to turn them over (particularly offensively)

 

[usskyblue]

Could be 1-0 them or 5-0 us.
2-0 Simms and Rudoni

 

[Great_Expectations]

Wouldn’t be disappointed to see JDS start. It is the sort of game we want to dominate, play on the front foot and maintain possession - he’s better at that than Bidwell.

Eccles holding with Rudoni and Torp ahead of him, Wright/Sakamoto on the wings and Simms up front.

It’s a really strong team on paper, despite missing Sheaf / new CM signing who are a step above.

Hopefully Stoke was an eye opener to MR that we are better when playing offensively. Albeit we all know that isn’t his way!

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

I just hope we welcome to the Championship with a real strong version of WLADITT setting the tone.Then camp in their half from the off, pressurize them into making mistakes.Just let them know their in the Championship not playing the Exeter's,Cambridge's and Wycombe's of this world now

 

[long way home]

Its nice to have a squad and have the ability to change the shape if we need to. But i think Robins only decision is Wilson or Dovin, Wright or EMC.

Milan, Thomas Binks, Bidwell, Eccles Torp, Rudoni, Tatsu, Simms make up the rest...

Thats piss poor an hour up the road and their first season in the championship

 

[ExmouthNeil]

Is it on Sky???

Is it on Sky???

Yes

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

All out attack down the flanks,with Eccles and Rudoni in front of the back 4 for protection when needed.
Dovin
Milan Thomas Binks Dasilva
Saka Eccles Rudoni EMC
Simms Wright

Put Palmer in for Allen and that would be my team too. Palmer is better at making goals than Allen. Bidwell is more solid and dependable than Dasilva but I am hoping we will be on the front foot most the night.

Bar Rudoni our midfield is so wank atm, I was thinking “that looks like a decent team if you replace Allen with…” and then realised we’ve only got Palmer to replace Allen with 🫣

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Must win . Early six pointer this . Oxford are no push over and look good both in attack and defence.
