He’s one of our best attacking players and is wasted at left back. We have the players to be in the top eight. Only Portsmouth have played us off the park so far.
Yes totally agree, Theo is one of our main attacking threats and he’s wasted at LB, especially without Graham.
I would be happy with either Hunt or Sweeney at LB

I thought we gave them a game. Probably deserved at least a point but throughout Oxford were always better than us.
They are what we want to be in a year or two.

Tom James at wing back works. Idris was good when we he got on the ball. Jordan Brown had an off day. Theo played well but I have my reservations he is league one level even if he played further forward.

Drinan did well doing what he does - pace, bit of physicality but his ceiling is not that high.

I like Piggot for a tall guy he has good feet and is improving as his fitness gets better.

Oxford were good so no shame on losing to them but without our gifts we’d have got a point at least

Ruel scored again so he deserves his place but he’s not a number 10 and should play up front while we play 3-5-2

I also (like the above boarder) think that Theo isn't good enough at league 1 level.
Ruel scores goals, and yesterday's was a cracker
Tom James is good at this level, and of course El Miz is a wonderful player.
The rest are not good enough IMO.
Cooper I liked a lot, but though he was poor yesterday, hope that was a one off.
Losing Jordan Graham is massive for us. No one else creates chances like him. Big miss.
I'll be very happy just to survive in this league now, to get another go next season

I didn't think Oxford were as good after he came off .It remains to be seen if Agyei can do the same job for us but we live in hope .
