Torp has got stuck in

Wilson's making a good case for starting on saturday

 

[mark82]

Torp playing well.

 

[clint van damme]

We look twice the team with Sheaf on the pitch. Another player on that level and we’re strong contenders.

EMC looks a lot more involved now and even Torp has been a bit better too.

Just to temper things slightly, Oxford do look ready to call it a day and head home.

Torp has got stuck in

Torp looks better now he doesn't have to be scared to move out of holding midfielder

 

[Winny the Bish]

EMC looking like a real threat. Torp knows he can actually attack too with Sheaf next to him instead of Eccles/Allen.

What? Did you see Dovin on Saturday??

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Torp has got stuck in

Torp needs Sheaf

 

[Liquid Gold]

Ben Sheaf. What a player.

 

[glasgowfan]

What? Did you see Dovin on Saturday??

You missed the smillie. I think he's touched the ball twice

 

[Johhny Blue]

Sheaf already leading the assists statistics for the season with those two opportunities

Palmer has 2

 

[mark82]

Sheaf been somewhat sloppy the last few minutes. Probably to be expected.

 

[shmmeee]

Dasilva poor there

 

[clint van damme]

Sheaf has taken the ball on the half turn more in this game than all our other midfielders combined all season.

 

[shmmeee]

Thomas Assante’s final ball is comical

 

[LastGarrison]

MVE is ridiculous.

 

[clint van damme]

Awful that from Asante, had Saka outside

 

[mark82]

Sheaf has taken the ball on the half turn more in this game than all our other midfielders combined all season.

Turned straight into trouble a couple of times though. Just a bit of a lack of sharpness.

 

[Matt smith]

MVE is ridiculous.

He’s unreal

 

[Diogenes]

He’s unreal

And he's getting better and better

 

[mark82]

Thomas lumps it straight out when he doesn't really have to sometimes.

 

[Jamesimus]

MVE is ridiculous.

Such a good player. I love how much he relishes 1v1s, he’s so good in that situation defensively.

 

[Evo1883]

A couple look tired now , played well just need to see it out

 

[SkyBlueBarmy84]

Palmer has 2

Whoosh.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Torp looks a completely different player when Sheaf is on the pitch. Reminds me of how Doyle changed into a different player when Dennis Wise signed

 

[Winny the Bish]

MVE is ridiculous.

£20million

 

[shmmeee]

Thomas lumps it straight out when he doesn't really have to sometimes.

You can see why he’s not starting.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Thomas Assante’s final ball is comical

We know he's better than that though from his scoring record

 

[Evo1883]

Palmer looks fucked

 

[Nick]

This ref giving us some weird decisions

 

[mark82]

5 minutes seems a lot.

 

[Alkhen]

I reckon they have been experimenting with EMC on the right in the hope he can rotate with Tats. Hasn't worked, he looks so much more natural on the left. Will have to switch in and out with Wright

 

[Evo1883]

Really sloppy few minutes by Palmer

 

[Evo1883]

They had 3 shots upto that point

 

[Nick]

Why are we sitting back?
