I’ve already paid for Saturday home games in the league, I’m not paying extra for more Saturday home games and then having to trudge up the CBS on a shitty cold windy rainy fucking Tuesday night
If we got a minnow like Man Utd perhaps

Some are under the impression he has a bad attitude and didn't want to celebrate goals = he wants to leave
But that's simply their interpretations and speculations, I'll not offer any myself
Godden started out at Oxford and was giving them respect by not over doing it

I think he scored his first goal for us against Oxford, not sure he owes respect for that though. O'Hare too actually in the same game.

I think the risk to his confidence of him missing was much greater than the boost he would get from scoring. The assist will have done more for his confidence.

spot on

Great game to be at that was, perfect conditions and some great goals! Weird being in a stadium with only 3 stands though

I was okay until Dabo hoofed in their equaliser. Still much better than my first trip there. A 4-1 loss I think. Tudgay penalty(?)

Amused me from the Oxford forum (and I managed to sneak my sandwich in !!)

Nice ground , good view, and loud home support. But the steward took my sandwich off me!!! No food and drink allowed in the ground

Just had a nosey. That site is as bad as Coventry Live. Gave up. Boring yellow cunts.

Sadly it didn't work.

If we want to increase our chances of hitting the playoffs then we need a new striker and central midfielder really. Still, was a good game for some today and hopefully being able to let the shackles off a bit will have raised the belief in the team a bit more going into Leicester.
Really. I do wonder if some of our fans can see the bigger picture . A lot of of Saka’s and Wright’s chances are due to Simms doing the ugly donkey work to occupy the centre halves and create space for them.

I can see the bigger picture. There were many players written off already but it looked quite clear to me that they would get there, and they have. Simms has got a little better, but he doesn't come into that category for me yet.

His contribution this season is poor, but he has time on his side. With our coaching team there's every chance he'll become a very good player. As it stands though I feel his improvement is being a bit overstated by some fans.

Said similar re: putting it into the box for Simms. We were doing a lot of possession, borderline showboating, out wide, when Simms was in the middle waiting for a ball in, that never came. Great play by him for the second goal, and he has done that to a few defenders now.

I want Wrexham at home next

Haven't read back through this thread, but thought Simms was good today, though there were people around me shouting abuse at him. He looked a handful, created space for others, and carved out chances. If you could put Godden's finishing together with Simms general play, then you'd have the ideal player. Hopefully Simms starts putting those chances away soon, as he's obviously capable of doing so.

Spot on , without Simms there is no space for the likes of Saka , Wright , O’Hare and Palmer . No coincidence that all have been in the goals since the change of system
