The thread on Players since 2015/16 got me thinking about Overrated and Underrated Oxford United players (when they were at Oxford), a subject I find interesting. To be clear, by ‘Overrated’ I mean that you don’t think they’re quite as good as the general view of them seems to be - it doesn’t...

Karl Robinson always seems to build lopsided squads but one area we seem stacked in now is central midfield. We’ve got some top class central midfielders and a few who can play there as well as out wide. My question is, now everyone is pretty much fit and in form, what’s the starting three?

I thought it would be interesting, given the unsuccessful squad and team that Karl Robinson picked last night, to see what teams everyone would pick if they were in charge (and fitness wasn’t an issue) I’ll go first: Stevens Long Moore Atkinson Obita Gorrin Brannigan Sykes Agyei Taylor Cooper...

So, now we all have time in lockdown to debate... Who do you care about more? Who do you want more to achieve?

Anyone else using the Sunderland game on the 15th as a Valentine’s ‘present’ to their significant other (who isn’t interested in football)... wish me luck ?

For me, it’s either: Eastwood Long Dickie Mousinho Ruffels Gorrin Woodburn Brannigan Henry Taylor Browne Or Eastwood Long Dickie Mousinho Ruffels Gorrin Henry Brannigan Sykes Taylor Browne Hopefully we can get everyone fit and firing soon, because both of those teams look very decent indeed...

We almost seemed to switch to 3 at the back for a while against Shrewsbury and it got me thinking - could it work while we have a shortage of central midfielders/general players? Say if we played something like this against MK Dons: Archer Dickie Mousinho Moore Gorrin Cadden Henry Sykes Ruffels...

I got this email (correctly): Yet when I go to book online, it says: Anyone know why??

I like a player ratings thread so thought I'll do one (Disclaimer: I've only seen three games live so far this season - Peterborough at home in the cup (1-0), Burton home (2-4) and now Coventry, so I might have a different view of some players as I missed some of the early good away...

Eastwood: 6 - Made a couple of saves, couldn't really see if he could have done more with their goals, don't think so. Distribution looked quite good and his kicking was better than his opposite number Cadden: 7.5 - Probably my MOTM, he got forward well and looked full of running all night...

Anyone going to this? I might pop down, do a bit of minute by minute reporting on here if anyone’s interested

Eastwood: 6 - Kicking was pretty good, possibly should have done better for the goal, come and punched it maybe? Didn’t have a huge amount of saves to make Hanson: 5 - Gave the ball away for their goal. Looked scared of McGeady. Got better as the game went on. One great cross to set up a headed...

As far as I'mn aware he doesn't have a job at the moment... why not?

Mitchell - 6: He doesn’t command his box, doesn’t come off his line to claim anything. Stupid pass for the penalty. Kicking poor at times. Good save for the pen though. McMahon - 6: Good cross for the OG, but he has no pace. Battled well enough. Some set pieces were poor. Nelson - 5: He looks...
