NottmRAM Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I wonder which performance we'll get tonight. Will it be the first half against Blackpool or the last 20 minutes against Burton. We just don't know. RadioactiveWaste and jono 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess a bit a both, the fun part is we don't know how much of each we'll get. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we have enough confidence in our passing ability to play the ball early when players make runs. It would be great to see a partner for Collins with NML reverting to his favoured wide role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t imagine many Oxford fans turning up, bit of a trek on a Tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waghorn could play left of the three and NML right. Should only need two central midfield players at home with a five man defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of wing backs is they become your de facto wingers when you're in possession. DCFC1388 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addingham Ram Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Too far for Oxford fans. Really? We are just setting off from Skipton now (somilar journey) for our first game of the season. Can't wait. COYR. PS. Will give Leeds the customery 2 fingered salute on the way through. angieram, HorsforthRam, WharfedaleRam and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ward and Nat can work together to create opportunities. Easier if when Ward receives the ball deep, he can give and go with a player in front of him.

I can't see a good fit for NML in our current formation, but Warne loves him. agree. NML at 65 minutes could be a real threat against a tiring defence in his preferred position - much more effective than he’s been as a starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
