McGoldrick
I agree that he's up there but don't think he's more crucial than Wildsmith, Fozzy, and Cashin, for example.
I think with his age and record, we signed him knowing that he'll miss a good few games in the season, and that we all expect that. The others mentioned above I would be significantly more concerned about if they missed a game.

We're in a great run of form at the moment. We're up to fourth, best defensive record in the league, and the goals are starting to flow.
But, as we know, all it takes is a bit of bad luck, an unexpected sale, or a serious injury, for momentum to slow and results to turn.
So, just for a bit of fun (and hopefully not a precursor to anything ?), who in your opinion is the one player that we simply cannot afford to lose? The one that might affect our results the most.
I'm going to go with Wildsmith. He's made some crucial saves that without doubt have saved us points, and I don't think the confidence that he gives the back four can be understated. A big factor in Fozzy and Cashin's form IMO.

Well, it’s an opportunity to show that a team can perform under pressure.
The two tie system should get the best two into the final.
Thereafter, it’s who performs at Wembley in front of a big crowd.
I’d love to think we might be there this year.
I think this is the best-equipped team we've had to do well in the play-offs.
Just be really hard to beat - which happens to be what we're good at - and you're in with a chance.

1,124 tickets left for Vale and going on general sale at 10.
Let's see how quickly these go!

Warne said "I'm led to believe Bielik won't be coming back"
An interesting way to put it, for sure.
Warne does this cryptic stuff sometimes.
When he first came in, I remember there was an injury to McGoldrick (I think) and, when asked about it, Warne replied to the effect of 'Is he? I don't know if he is.'
Just bizarre wording that makes it look like he doesn't know what's going on.

Ipswich allocation is 1497 at oxford for 21st January. Sold out, no more to come.
That.... is a concern.
Everything I've seen says there can be around 4,000 fans. Maybe there wasn't enough demand from Ipswich?

What about Barnsley? That’s usually a good day out and we should get a bigger allocation than we will for Oxford.
Can't make the Barnsley game, unfortunately.
Oxford has an away allocation of about 4,000 though, doesn't it? So should still be relatively easy to get one there.

Another game for members with no previous buying history to get a ticket.
Yeah, just bought mine for my third one of the season.
Just need to get to Oxford and Sheffield Wednesday and up the tiers I go EIEIEIO.

I'm largely behind the club on this one. Bit of pressure combined with a montage could be interesting...I started work on some shot data in the Autumn, could now be a good time to return.
I just knew there would be some sort of spreadsheet or data or something ?

It's interesting that not one person has voted for mid-table mediocrity. As things currently stand, we're only 3 points ahead of 7th place Wycombe (albeit with a game in hand).
I guess it just goes to show what a good run of form can do for fans' optimism!

Wildsmith - 7
Rooney - 8
Forsyth - 8 MOTM - a revelation at CB
Davies - 6
Cashin - 7.5 - would have probably been MOTM if it wasn't for a multitude of poor passes
Stearman - 6
Sibley - 7
Bird - 7
Hourihane - 7
Thompson - 6.5
Dobbin - 5 - the only player who I thought was somewhat poor today
Roberts - 6
Knight - 7
Barkhuizen 8
Mendez-Laing - 7
Collins - 7.5 - his best game for some time

Is that the Wayne Rooney song I can hear being sung? ?

A very classy footballer.
Remember when we had Russell, Ward, Bamford, and Dawkins competing for two winger slots either side of Martin? Those were the days!

'Warne's love child' has scored some very important goals this season and will score more important goals if we are to achieve what we want to achieve. He's won us points, sets the tone in most games for the intensity and winning the ball up the pitch.
He isn't a 20 odd goal a season man, if he was he'd be playing at the top end of the Championship. We are in League 1.
Such a weird place this forum, when someone questions someone who has gone unbeaten for 15 games not to mention his success at getting out this league with no budget time and time again.
To be fair, Collins has scored 7 in 20 in the league so far.
If you were to extrapolate that over 46 games, it doesn't put him far off 20 goals.

Didn't he go through a patch of good form with them though? I remember seeing a few fans of theirs being really complimentary about him on Twitter.
-
There has to be a striker coming in then, surely?
-
I'm gonna go...
Loach
Smith Forsyth Cashin Roberts
Bird Thompson
Dobbin Knight Sibley
Collins

Draw at Cheltenham
Win vs Bolton
Win at Vale
Lose at Plymouth
Win vs Morecambe
Draw at Wycombe11 points total and that's me being slightly pessimistic. Wouldn't be surprised to see us do better than that.

I saw the comparison with Chris Martin earlier in the thread. Martin was great for us and deserves the utmost respect but McGoldrick is totally different class
Very controversial IMO. Martin was our talisman in arguably the best season we've had in ages (and in a higher league).

Derby County are set to appoint Oxford United’s head of recruitment Mark Thomas as their new director of football, sources have told Football Insider.
The Rams are set to raid their League One rivals to bring in the highly-regarded transfer expert in a new recruitment role at Pride Park.

I'd much rather lose Hourihane than Bird.
And, if we were to lose both at the same time, I think we would struggle in terms of midfield control. I don't think a midfield of Sibley and Knight would be too great.
