It's easy to jump on the back of the last couple of games and say how wonderful life is at Oxford United, as it would have been just as easy to complain after losing against Fleetwood and others.
But I am always surprised with how quick some are to dismiss our players following a poor performance or two, and consequently Robinson for bringing them in. This week has showed just how strong our squad really is, and also how difficult it can be to get the balance right every week.
Over the last 5 days we've seen fantastic performances from, what, 18/19 players with Long/Cadden both fantastic (albeit very different), Mous/Moore/Dickie great at CB, Ruffels/Eastwood back at their best and Mackie/Taylor being able to run the defence hard and then pick up vital goals.
But special credit goes to our midfield/wider players. Gorrin, Brannagan, Baptiste, Thorne (hopefully not out for long), Woodburn, Fosu, Henry, Hall, Forde and Sykes! 10 players who would strengthen most sides in this league, and Robinson is faced with not being able to play 5 of the them each game!
It will take a while to get the exact balance right and we will need to adapt game by game, but no one can deny that Robinson has brought in some really special players to this club, as well as developing those we had, and when they tick, anything can happen.
