    Loan Watch: Dane Scarlett

    Oxford have signed another striker - Tom Bradshaw who played under the new manager at Millwall. Get Dane out of there, now!

    Player Watch Player Watch: Yves Bissouma

    He’s gone from the potential solution (when purchased) to an unspectacular squad option that will trickle down the pecking order and out the club. He's not bad, he is just not good enough as a defensive shield, as a destroyer, as a creator, or a goal scorer. Put him in the midfield and...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Pape Sarr

    There has been some progression, but I think Sarr needs to go one of two ways - get more physically strong to play a central or deep midfielder role, or progress into a breaking into the box midfield who scores more. I don’t think our injuries and suspensions have helped Pape (and others) focus...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Lucas Bergvall

    I think he pushes Maddison into a straight battle for Kulu as that most attacking central midfielder. The thought of Gray, Bergvall and either of Kulu or Madders is very exciting. So much more progressive than two of Biss/Sarr/Bentancur plus one other. I think he’s first name in that midfield

    Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

    The issue is that I could copy and paste a post from last year, which basically says ‘he is very good at a couple of things, needs to improve other areas of game’ and it would still be as relevant 12 months ago on. He has got to develop more to his game. He is ineffective if there is not space...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Radu Dragusin

    He falls into the category of good player, will get better as the team as a whole improves. Still think he could be our best natural defender, and be more than acceptable with his ball playing to have a long term role at the club. He will also benefit if we continue to mix up our passing like...

    Player Watch: Brandon Austin

    Feel great for the man, he should be very proud. did seem weird that he was being called a 25 year old academy graduate - it was quite a while ago that he graduated! Wonder what will happen now for his career - will he be an answer to a quiz question, or do a Martinez and get a move after a...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Wolves

    I thought we were decent enough without really deserving to win. My biggest worry is still how the central midfielders are expected to cover our full backs and the wingers - Son and Johnson - get a pass defensively, when neither of them is contributing enough offensively to justify it. I know...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Wolves

    I know, and I also know saying my diet starts on Wednesday means that it will be May before I stop shoving chocolates in my mouth!! No time like the present/once I’ve finished the kid’s selection box

    Match Threads Spurs vs Wolves

    Reasons for optimism: 1. Wolves have won two on the bounce, so Tottenham logic suggests they will lose 2. The sheer amount of defensive injuries might see Ange look to provide a bit more cover for whoever plays there 3. Some kids might get game time and be untainted by our recent struggles 4...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

    He is good to very good in specific situations/scenarios, and really poor in others. He needs to develop the weaker parts of his game otherwise he will have 50% of games where he is completely ineffectual, which means he will be susceptible to being replaced. His assist for Solanke against...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Liverpool

    Let’s be honest, it was only going to take a team with a clinical cutting edge to bang a load of goals past us. We play on the edge and with the deficiencies in the team (especially the midfield when defending in our own half). Ange needs to take a look at how we defend when the ball is in our...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Yves Bissouma

    In his defence, I wonder if his role is charged with man marking attacking mids who go wide, because if not you can add absolutely atrocious positional sense to terrible anticipation, tracker of runners, accuracy, consistency and precision of passing and, ball carriering under pressure. That...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Man Utd

    What a game. A lot to like. A few concerns still, but I really like that even if we drop two absolutely clangers we have the ability to score more. imagine conceding two calamities under Conte? We would have settled for a 2-0 loss and everyone gets a bollocking from Antonio

    Good test against Salah coming up - might be a very good match up. Up the Djed!

    Player Watch Player Watch: Archie Gray

    He’s been great, just hope we can get him into central midfield sooner than later. Would be such a waste if he becomes a very good utility player instead of a top class central midfield (which we really need)

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Classic Ange really. Tactics get us to 3-0, tactics also leave us vulnerable to letting the lead slip. It’s thrilling, for sure, but just goes to show the lack of leadership and game smarts. It was only when Bergvall came on that we saw someone slowing the game down, stopping their momentum...

    Player Watch: Alejo Véliz

    Maybe Westerlo? He needs games for his own career. I don’t think he has the technical skills to make it with us, but could become an ‘always third choice’ option if he wanted to be (the kind of striker who scores the occasional crucial goal but is never good enough for a speed of starts)

    Player Watch - Ashley Phillips

    Agree with Ange. We’ve got three first Team centre backs, an experienced 4th choice, and anywhere between 1 and 5 highly rated youngsters. We buy another first team candidate - it blocks the pathway for the youngsters. We buy another one for the future and they are caught in the ‘too...

    Player Watch: Timo Werner

    He was poor on Thursday. He’s been poor quite a bit lately. Ange took a chance on him with the loan and extension, and having him rather than Spence in the EL squad, and when down to the bare bones he needed the experienced pros to step up and Werner didn’t. I don’t think the comments were out...
