Yes but look at the subs! O'Dowda, Hylton, Dunkley.I’d prefer Baldock Lundstram, Roofe and possibly Maguire in today’s team.
Not sure that Skarz would be better than Seddon to be honest.
Moore and Thorniley better than Mullins and Wright. Kane and/or Brannagan better than Sercombe.
Matt Taylor better than Ryan Taylor and Sykes better than MacDonald.
Eastwood far superior to Buchel and Slocombe.

O’Dowda over Sykes
Doh! I'm still writing 2021!It was 6 years ago
Bit of a side question......
......but comparing the teams, and thinking it through......how many great left backs have we ever had?
Don't get me wrong, we've had a bunch of perfectly decent ones - Skarz, Ruffs & Seddon on this thread for starters.
But I've been going to games since the early 90s, and I'm struggling to think who would play in my personal all time Oxford XI there. Probably Mike Ford (was considering Paul Powell from the 99/00 season.....but if I remember correctly, he played a lot of that season on the left wing [while keeping us up almost single-handed])
Feels like we've had a lot more great fullbacks on the right-hand side.
David Bardsley, Bobby McDonald, and Neil Slatter were the first names that came to my mind, but they are all in the 80s...Bit of a side question......

So I guess I agree with your thoughts...
That'll be my old brain, Im sure I can see him going down the left... And now you've brought it up, I'm sure I remember being corrected about it before on hereDavid Bardsley was a right back.
