What a brand of football they play! Watched a lot of the game last night and they’re incredible. I’ve said it many times that I’m not a fan of the way City play, they’re obviously a fantastic side but that slow, largely sideways and backward passing, with a sting in the tail isn’t for me. While...

A generational talent or just a kid having a few good games? This lad looks to me to be emerging as one of the best 18 year old English players I've seen. Incredibly quick feet and close control in confined spaces and his calmness and composure to then pick the right pass is astonishing for...

Died at 49. What a sad day for football and for Nottingham Forest in particularly.

Whether the Qataris win the bid or not (it seems likely they will) for Manchester United I think a posthumous apology to Baldy is due. Ridiculing him for his foresight and vision all those years ago that the Qataris are coming was a forum past time. How apt if Baldy’s headstone in the forum...

Why are we now seeing so many games stopped while medics attend to supposedly stricken fans ? Now I'm not belittling the seriousness of a fan having a heart attack or something equally as concerning but most of these fans seem to 'recover' and the game soon re-starts. I've seen about five...

Is there really any conversation to be had as to who is the greatest footballer ever ? England, Spain, Italy, internationally, everywhere he goes he’s just phenomenal. How Manchester United have got him for £20m is astonishing business.

Apologies if I’ve missed something but have we heard from one of our higher profile players yet ? All I’ve read is stuff from Sykes and Long, two players who for the majority of he season have payed supporting roles. A week on now but where are the views of our captains, Dickie and Mousinho ...

I was at the recent ‘Harry Redknapp Evening’ in town and when Jim’s name inevitably cropped up Harry mentioned that he was unwell and it sounded something a bit more serious than just a passing illness. Haven’t seen him at one of our matches for a season or two now either. I guess he must be...

I didn't think I'd be saying this but I don't think we are missing Whyte at all. Loved watching him play but we seem so well balanced down his side of the pitch and I think his departure has helped us play more football. Without his pace we are having to play the ball around opposition defences...

Has to be the most ‘under the radar’ player in our squad. Week after week, month after month he is so consistent. Must be a mangers dream to have a player as dependable as him, I never see him have a bad game. I’m sure within the squad and by the management he is greatly valued but us fans...

He’s stopped scoring but that’s coincided with him easily playing his best football in an Oxford shirt. Robinson must be scratching his head trying to work out what’s happening. At any other time in his Oxford career I’d have said a non goal scoring Henry would struggle to hold down a place as...

Assuming I heard Robinson’s pre match interview right one of these last three signings (Agyei included) is within the budget but the other two mean two in and two out and I assume on loan. My guess is two from Hanson, Hall, Baptiste and Sykes. They are all very decent players and it shows our...

Eastwood 7 - Little to do but punched well and a vital save from long range in second half. Cadden 7 - Composed performance and a clear upgrade on Long. Dickie 9 - Rock solid and impressive bringing the ball out of defence. Mousinho 8 - Put under more pressure in second half but stood up to the...
