Good for them to get a chance to impress the new manager. He’s going to have an embarrassment of riches!

Cranston said after the Wycombe match that they were a month away from fitness...so that should be Cheltenham....and by the sounds of it ready to play.
Perfect timing.

I said it on the Manning thread - it's always bad when a manager leaves mid-season when you're going well.
But if it has to happen, then you couldn't pick a better time for the club than this.
Two week break to run the recruitment process, and the new man will come into a club which just about has everyone back to fitness and available - and have a month to assess the needs and weaknesses before the transfer window opens.

Edwards was definitely in full training yesterday. You can see him doing drills in the footage edited into the Buckingham ‘first meeting’ video.
No sign of Browne in the training drills but he could be seen briefly in the meeting.

If Leigh is out then Edwards being back will be pretty important or else we'll struggle to create much down that side, although Stevens is more progressive than Long on the other side so there is some trade off he's certainly not as threatening as Leigh. I bet he's not as good a singer either.
This assumes we stick with a similar formation, Des might have an ace up his sleeve.

Love Edwards' low-slung socks. He should start for that reason alone.Edwards Boost as U's Head for the Robins | Oxford United Football Club

Maybe it would have been better to start Murphy on Tuesday and bring Edwards on as a sub?

Thought they were right, preplan sub. Where using a sub for a sub if it went wrong.

I assume Browne was substituted yesterday due to an injury. He certainly wasn't best pleased. Any news?

Buckingham suggested his leg (can't remember which bit he mentioned though) had tightened so took him off as a precaution. Going to scan it to be sure though.
Both having scans and will be out till new year according to OWS

Bad news. We really need Murphy to build on the promising stuff against Grimsby and offer something in the league campaign, we are desperately short of width otherwise.
Oof. Like Liam Manning’s hair, we’re looking light up top again.
I just one of them could be a week or so ahead in their recovery. We need as many as possible at present.

“[Marcus] was feeling good and even in the short spell on the pitch he played a part in our goal but then he felt something tighten up on the other leg to where the first injury was…”
This happens a lot when you have an enormous injury like he had when we signed him (obviously). Other parts of your body try to compensate for the weakness, and as time goes on everything starts popping and pinging as various muscles and ligaments begin wearing away unevenly.
You have to feel for him. He’s only 25. If he ends up being another Rob Hall that’s two good players who deserved a lot better.
