Re: Oxford thread

Alvin, you'll not have to drag Roverites much longer the way they are playing. He might want to get familiar with our level....

My biggest worry is these small players who for one reason or another make little effect on the game. I don't want a team of meat-heads but at this level strength counts massively.

For Tuesday I'd stick with the same team except replace Mingoia with a more orthodox midfielder cos often yesterday we seemed to be playing with two wingers and god knows we can't afford that with the lack of pace of Joyce and Murphy. If we just have an energetic midfielder to drive us forward and pick up the 2nd ball, J & M can just do their usual stuff and allow Naismith to concentrate on attacking the full back cos its clear he's not a fan of retrieving the ball. Keep Webber as the target (though yesterday he was worryingly never near the ball) and Gray, who was a huge ray of hope, feeding off him.

I genuinely think we have good players but they don't seem to have a system or know their roles within it. Which Beatts needs to get across to them.
