It's a difficult one. Undoubtedly Murphy will want a decent increase to stay at Oxford. We set a bit of a precedent with Brannagan's contract to fend off Championship interest. The difference is that Cameron will guarantee you 40 games a season. I am not sure Murphy is quite so resilient as...

I partly agree, he seems to be taking a lot of shots from distance rather than looking for the pass. However, it is very clear that Brannagan is a level above the rest of the team. With the exception of Eliott, I don't think many of the current team would cut it as regulars in the Championship...

I think Tyler's game is really maturing and he is already an important player for us. However I do feel he sometimes holds onto the ball a bit too long and tries to beat his man too often. It's a similar thing with Reuben. Both could definitely play at the next level, if they can master when to...

My main concern is also losing Brannagan. I doubt we would turndown a seven figure offer, which could be very likely with Bristol and Middlesbrough sniffing around. Without him we would really struggle with energy in the middle. We should anyway be looking for a longer term replacement - even if...

A good result today, and not what I expected after the first 15mins. The one thing that benefitted us was Charlton's lack of high-press. Derby pressed pretty much all match, and the likes of McGuane struggled with the pressure and lack of space. Rarely could Beadle pass out from the back...

What about Dave Challinor, has a decent managerial record. Not sure about his style of play but always enjoyed his long throw-ins!

Agree - I think Harris is a good player, just not sure he is cut out as a loan striker. I am not sure who would be available in January but we will definitely need another experienced option upfront.

I immediately thought of John Byrne..collar up

I seriously wonder who decides on the final designs. Macron have created some cool looking designs for other teams. Ours looks like it took all of 3 mins to design!

Chim Chim Cher-oo we are the b@stards in custard yellow and blue!!

It just shows how subjective shirt designs are... I thought last season's home shirt was crap. Immediately reminded me of the DOMINO one due to the slightly "off yellow" colour, although not as bad as that orangey one we had some years back. Hopefully it's a more deeper vibrant yellow for this...

My approach would be to look lower down the pyramid for some recruits. Trying to attract consistent quality from the Championship is becoming increasingly expensive due wages, which means we need to take gambles on injury prone players. I would rather invest in younger, hungry and more robust...

I agree....we have scored 7 goals in our last 12 games. Even if we managed six 0-0 draws, I don't think that would be good enough to keep us up. I am also not pushing for a gun-ho approach and rip up the good defensive work, but we need to start building some confidence going forward and defend...

In my opinion we need push Brannagan up the pitch a little to create more. We are definitely lacking someone who can open up a defence with a decent through ball for Joseph and the wide players, or have a decent effort from distance. Too often the ball is going up to Joseph with his back to...

Regardless of the league we are in next year, we are in serious need of new faces in key positions next season. Naturally the league will dictate the level of quality we can bring in but we shouldn't neglect deficiencies we have had for the past few seasons. Goalkeeper - I have never rated...

I would probably take Sammy Ameobi until the end of the season (if fit). Would potentially be a good substitute to bring on upfront (albeit not his best position)

The article in the OM this morning at least gives the fans a glimpse of the type of manager/head coach Manning might be. In all honesty, it worried me that we are set to recruit the type of manager we don't need at the moment. With our current slide down the table, I believe we need a strong...

If you base it on stats and ability to get us into the championship then Wilder has to be first choice. If we want a longer term approach and build our own brand and style then we need to take time to get the right man i.e. how Brentford have developed. The question is, what is the boards vision?

If KR were to depart, would it be an opportunity to redefine the roles of the management and coaching team? It has been clear that recruitment over the past transfer windows has been poor. Every window KR harps on that he is working day and night getting the right candidates and driving the...

What do you think about a double swoop for Shodipo and Macaulay Bonne from QPR? Both proven in League One..
