whiteroseram Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Chester injured I assume then. Still no clue whether Smith or Knight is at RB Ellafella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Across the road there was a massage parlour called Palm Springs. I don’t think you mean that one though ? No wonder you were always 30 minutes early picking her up from work. ? jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady1993 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Fairly expected line up. Don't mind Knight at RB for today but from what I've seen of the two so far I think I'd rather Knight in midfield than Smith and maybe put Smith at right back. Cashin in is probably forced but I think I prefer it. Ellafella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) As expected, Knight at RB with Bird and Smith sitting behind Hourihane. A bit defensive in midfield for my liking, but hopefully Bird gets a bit of freedom to find passes to hurt Oxford, with the presence of Smith to hold the defensive side of things. Bit of a waste of Knights talents, but here we are and it’s been that way for a year or so. Edited July 30, 2022 by Ramarena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Fokker Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 ATB for the game. Rubbish league. Don’t do a Coventry and spend a few seasons in L1 then drop further. This will not happen of course. The Rams need a bit of luck in appointing good managers. None of us know what the next 46 games will throw up, but at least there are 4 weeks to bring in some more players and offload anyone who isn’t behind the team. There are some big clubs in L1.

Well, we never do things in a straightforward way, do we? It has all the hallmarks of that kind of game. We live in a small village called Altarnun just off the A30 after Launceston.

The role at Right back he's being asked to do does suit him though and sometimes in getting the best team out there someone plays in an unconventional position. With that said with that 11 I'd put Smith at RB personally. Ramarena and Ellafella 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what we switched to after about 15-20 minutes against Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OohMartWright Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 This is a great opportunity for Cashin to make the second centre back spot his own and I really hope he does so - he’s one of our own.

He has the ability to really punish them if he has enough freedom and runners finding pockets of space. brady1993 and Ellafella 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin’ ?♂️ Oh I agree completely. I'm not keen on a Bird, Hourihane, Smith midfield if I'm honest. Neither Smith nor Hourihane were doing enough to get into space, get on the ball and link things up. Smith being particularly culpable combined with often playing the way he was facing a fair bit. Knight moves into midfield and suddenly his movement starts to create space and we find it easier to control the game and progress the ball. Well at least until Forsyth and Sibley came on and things got a bit disrupted. Ellafella and Ramarena 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Oxford do seem to have a decent amount of pace in their midfield and attack. Hopefully it’s something we can deal with, as we don’t have much pace outside our wingers. Ellafella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
