I wasn’t, I was just replying to comments!
Re comment about Charlie etc, well that’s because I thought the cult (Scotchegg, Denissmithswig, Pete (but he’s changed slightly lately), grenobleroad, Foley (occasionally) and more recently Paul B (even though I like his FV)) were missing someone to attack! Maybe it’s the OxVox link?
Stick or Twist time re Holmes ....https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/...e-at-oxford-united-after-latest-back-problem/
I guess that the medics will advise on that?well if we are thinking this about Holmes surely Carruthers has to go back
He must stay. He is class and if you can’t see that he is, then you need a new pair of glasses.
As for the injuries, live with it. They all suffer with them purely because they are pushing themselves. Holmes has his share but we need him. Much too good to go back now.
I think this is what Robinson was alluding to unfortunatelyWell yes but his ‘injuries’ are related to a long-standing back problem which means he can’t walk for two days after a game and has to wait until Wednesday to train alone. It might be the player himself who might need to make a decision too.
I think Carruthers has to go back he was ready to comeback and then another injury, I don’t think we can afford to keep him. With Holmes its a bloody nuisance absolute gifted player for this league but if he’s not going to be able to contribute to a full 90 minutes then I think it would be stupid to keep him, as has already been said for the sake of the rest of his life he should retire at least then he may be able to lead a normal life rather than being an invalid. Smith yes he has to go back and possibly Garbutt as well.I think we have unfortunately seen the last of Holmes in an Oxford shirt.
Think we will see some of the loans returning in January. Mitchell obviously, then I think Smith and Garbutt will return to their parent clubs, possibly Carruthers too depending on how long he is out for.
