The thing I'm interested in is, if Twine plays 10, who are people putting their trust in on the left? I think it's fair to say that it's dubious that Mehmeti should play away from home. Is Hirakawa ready? Do we play both Pring and Roberts? It's not an easy decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted Saturday at 13:29 Share Posted Saturday at 13:29 Millwall 0 Luton 1- Walsh Assist. Oxford 1 Stoke 0- We can't be losing to them not least because Manning jumped ship and a year or so ago.. Bristol City 5 Oxford 1 (Cup) Bristol City 4 Oxford 0 (HPC Friendly behind closed doors). Granted the latter had a lot of chances to their side but they seem to be tough opponents so far this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shauntaylor85 Posted Saturday at 13:33 Share Posted Saturday at 13:33 Well he’s had another two weeks on the grass, let the football do the talking. If not, he deserves the criticism. So does Tinnion for influencing him. Don’t buy what we have and play them all out of position. Just don’t get it, even if Williams or Knight get injured I can see him going with the guy from Oxford and sticking to that three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted Saturday at 13:40 Share Posted Saturday at 13:40 Mixed views on the line up. On the one hand, we looked unbalanced with Twine in the left against Derby and Sykes hasn’t stood out so far this season. On the other hand, Bird has impressed in the number ten role and I’m not sure I would put Twine in there instead of him and I couldn’t definitively argue Mehmeti or Yu should be starting ahead of Twine or Sykes. In short l, I am not sure it is the line up I would have picked but I find it hard to say it is objectively “wrong”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short l, I am not sure it is the line up I would have picked but I find it hard to say it is objectively “wrong”. It’s not the line-up per se that’s right or wrong it’s the set-up / system, which has pros and cons. When our attack outperforms the current defence we look good…and vice-versa. Some people will see that as being critical, but actually it’s recognising there are pros and cons to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he is shoe horning players into the side, to get them on the pitch. I would have put Bird into Williams role and had Twine as the 10 in the middle… harsh on Williams perhaps…hey ho. Managers problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
