Goulding obviously underwhelming yet another manager (think he's been training, so no injury)?

To echo previous statements here, this season is key for Alves and Braybrooke, both players we all hoped would be further along in their development than they currently are (for various reasons). Barnes and KDH have proved it can be done, I hope they both get the opportunity to break through...

BC Game of Thrones? 🙄

Said it before, our next captain.

Really pleased for him, hope it continues. Wish he'd got PotM as I don't think JJ is short on confidence 💪

To anyone who went to the match and hasn't left yet, I salute you 🫡

He inherited a proper shithow, but it's just not working...

Pardon if this has mentioned before (I imagine it has), but reading an old version of the Guardian promising youngsters list it features Abdul whilst he was at Steadfast I think. I'm pretty sure it suggested he was a no. 10 at that time? With him being continually double marked on the wing, I wonder if it's ever considered to move him inside? Boy, could we do with some creativity there. Not sure if I misremember. Anyway...

Apologies, not read previous comments, but I can only define and appreciate Ramsey's goal as some sort of 'reverse Daka'. Kudos.

Are you sure? There's plenty of world class Football Manager expert moaners here...

I assume his injuries are why we still have him, otherwise he'd easily have moved on and up to regular CL football. Great pro. Seems a nice guy. Isn't a ***** like some former captains that spring to mind 😜

I like the song, especially with the jazz hands, but the JB version is very 'Welcome to Wrexham', too cod-Oasis... I remember researching versions of this song in the early 90s, as the lads from Blab Happy were trying to get it reinstated on the pre-match playlist. Best of a bad bunch we could find was a Billie Holiday version. Always thought Tom Meighan or Kasabian would be all over this, but obvs not. Maybe Engelbert will do the honours.

I think Daka is wearing Filbert's boots most of the time...

Hello Guy 👋

Well, I was at Olympiacos yesterday and the atmosphere was pretty decent even for a low key game. €25 ticket, pretty full despite being on TV, Marinakis kicking off on the touchline, pushing people about. Not many decisions go against them at home. A good day out.

Great. Did we ever find out if Jake Evans signed similar?

Decent debut. As echoed elswhere, him and Winks deeper, with Ayew behind Carranza and Monga for Mavs next game - and it's progress...

Our PotM yesterday. Always puts a shift in, a leader on the pitch, an important well taken goal and he'll continue to be a key player for us this season. I agree he's not an ideal 9, but he's a top pro and he's who we have until if/when Carranza gets up to speed 🤞 (*puts on tin hat and retreats to bunker for rest of day*).

Might wake us up a bit...

Pragmatic, but it's Oxford and a marathon not a sprint etc. Why would you risk players who aren't either 100% fit or ready? Who knows, one mistake and some supporters might hold it against you forever... 😉

Ayew has been away on international duty, so may be 'rested'. Ditto James who won't have really trained yet. I can see Carranza and Ramsey starting though.

Anyone nominated Steve Lynex for the 'best' category yet?

Ange or Mourinho incoming...

As I have a mate over there, I'm booked in for Roma away at the end of February 🐐⚽🏆🦊
