Re: Oxford United Match Thread..............
Hell of a task fer a patched up side. Meself i would give Craney first 60 mins, instead of Barnett.

Re: Oxford United Match Thread..............
Hoping that Bavo is ok to play. Lee Nicholls is talented but in my eyes, the team misses Ian. He has his faults but he gives his all for the side and the players respond to him. We're going to need that kind of character to take us through the tough times ahead. For this reason I agree with Cashy about playing Ian Craney. Unsure about the speculation based on a rather vague tweet by Tom Bender, but we can hope.
So, here goes:
GK: Dunbavin
RWB: Barnett
CB: Murphy
CB: Willis
LWB: McIntyre
DM: Joyce
CM: Craney
CM: Hatfield
RW: Devitt
LW: Grant
ST: Lindfield
Joyce to sit just in front of yet another fresh pairing at centre-half; hopefully breaking up the play before it gets to the last line. In theory, this gives us an Italian back three which enables us to play wing backs in Barnett and McIntyre. Going forward, we have more than enough attacking players to move the ball well and cause problems in the final third. Lindfield has really impressed me in recent performances.
Cooky really does have an unenviable job picking the team for tomorrow.

Re: Oxford United Match Thread..............
I honestly find it absolutely staggering you put Bavs in after the amount of mistakes he has made this season.
Ian C is nowhere near fit enough to start either.

Re: Oxford United Match Thread..............
My reason fer starting wi Craney,is the football we have produced in the first 45 mins of last 2 games, I think is tailor made fer craneys style of play, fair enough substitute him when he gets knackered.

Re: Oxford United Match Thread..............
Whilst Craney has talent........................
1. He is clearly overweight.
2. Has not started a game for a LONG TIME.
3. When was the last good spell he actually had in the side.??? 12 months ago, longer.
For me, on the bench. Chuck him on with 20 to go and maybe he can conjure up something.
As great he was in the Conference side. Has not contributed enough this time around. Simple.
Swansea, Huddersfield, Morecambe and Fleetwood all realised the same.

Re: Oxford United Match Thread..............
I offered to play right back, as long as they move the game back 30 years ago

Re: Oxford United Match Thread..............
I like Joycey at RB, has played there before and for me personally has not been his usual self in the last few games in the middle of the park.
A pairing of Barnett & Hatfield looks fine to me.

Re: Oxford United Match Thread..............
The Gills main goalscorer is clearly overweight. Consistency i agree aint his strongest suit, but hes had some good moments since he returned, n whilst were clutching at straws wi players at the moment, Craney to me is one of the few remaining ones that can win a game simple as.
