No idea blue and white would have been more appropriateErr yeah...but why??.....yellow?
Did he do enough today though?Am I right in reading that people think Mark Sykes should/will go out on loan? He's one of our most influential players!
Today is only one game and you can’t judge on one game, he is a tricky player and glad he is tricky playing for usDid he do enough today though?
Actually yes. Looks very capable. Outfield - bleurgh.Nobody? Jack Stevens definitely did.
By culling is that Wilshire style or loan?Agyei, Hall & Hanson in danger of being culled from the squad, I think.

This is the table after tonightResults in our group so far after this evening's game:
Oxford 2 Chelsea U21 1
Bristol Rovers 2 Walsall 2 (Walsall won on pens)
Walsall 1 Chelsea U21 1 (Chelsea U21 won on pens)
Oxford 1 Bristol Rovers 1 (Oxford won on pens)
So now Oxford have 5 points from 2 games, Walsall 3 points from 2 games, Chelsea U21 2 points from 2 games and Bristol Rovers 2 points from 2 games.
So I believe these are the possible outcomes from our final game at Walsall on Tuesday 10th November:
- a win would mean we top the group with 8 points;
- a draw and a win on penalties would mean we top the group with 7 points;
- a draw and a loss on penalties would mean we top the group with 6 points;
- a defeat would leave us on 5 points with at best a goal difference of zero. Walsall would be above us on 6 points and our continued presence in the competition would depend on the result in the Bristol Rovers v Chelsea U21 game as follows:
(a) if Bristol Rovers and Chelsea U21 draw we would go through in 2nd place;
(b) if Bristol Rovers beat Chelsea U21 then Bristol Rovers would finish above us having 5 points and a positive goal difference, so we would go out;
(c) if Chelsea U21 beat Bristol Rovers, then Chelsea U21 would have a goal difference of at worst zero. So for us to go through in this scenario, we must only lose by one goal and Chelsea U21 must only win by one goal, and also Chelsea U21 must not score more than 1 extra goal than Oxford score in their respective final games. Oxford and Chelsea U21 would then be level under criterias (a) and (c), so Oxford would go through due to either having scored more goals or else if goals scored are the same, then Oxford would go through based on the Group result between Oxford and Chelsea U21.
According to the BBC fixtures, Bristol Rovers v Chelsea U21 is scheduled for Wednesday 18th November, 8 days after our game at Walsall.

We have not have 4 points 2 dThink Ive got that. Good research pity the games arent on the same night for proper nailbiting stuff(partly joking!)
He's never had a decent run in the team, mainly due to injuries. He's probably a better player than we realise but how long can you keep waiting for him to prove it?But no conflict about Hanson going, either on loan or just going .....
Funny to see Hall come under continued criticism here. Was one of our better players against Watford, did okay against Lincoln from a creative sense and whilst I didn't fork out a tenner for last night's game, he did get the assist. Was he that bad last night?
Fair enough if we sign someone with a bit of pace I can't see him getting many minutes, but with the squad as it is, he's one of the few players we have capable of beating a man one-on-one. I don't rate him particularly, but this season has been no worse than at least half a dozen others.
