Matches Pre-Season Friendly vs WBA

[Bacon]

Smyth looks very comfortable

 

[Marked Ox]

Are you watching EY?
Howcus Smyth doing?

A superb cross pitch ball from the left touchline to the right touchline to Jodi Jones. It nearly set up a chance.

Definitely doesn't look out of place against West Brom.

McGuane looking good as the defensive midfielder.

Even game and we're doing well so far.

Looks very comfortable on the ball, nice positioning too.

looks like Mcguane is the CDM going forward or at least that’s what KR wants I think. Can see him doing well there as he’s got good feet under pressure, but not sure about his work rate. Hope he cements a position this season, I rate him

It's was never his work rate, lack of fitness

 

[Yellowecky]

Good first half, much better than the Coventry game.

1st half reviews

Stevens- meh distribution
Forde - back up only, surely
Mous - Mous
Brown - playing like he knows he's fighting for 1 spot with Findlay/Moore/Potential other CB
Sedds - Not too bad
McGuane - quality. If he can be disciplined, he could be an exceptional CDM.
Smyth - promising, one wayward pass, but confident.
Bodin - quality touches
Henry - Henry
Jones - threat, can ping a cross.
Sinclair - Not trash...but not amazing...3rd choice. Be interested to see him in a 2 up.

Pretty much agree with all that.

Is @Baggie 192 on here tonight? I usually thought their contribution was fairly informative (what I read of it), and would be interested to hear any thoughts. Apologies if that annoys some people, but it's interesting to hear informed views from people who are impartial as far as OUFC are concerned (I think - I may be a bit drunk, so sorry if that's daft).

What a start from Golding… Kid really looks like he’s got something.

 

[Teddydee1980]

Playing Jones in that slightly narrower Right role that Whyte played a few times last year...looks bright...

 

[West Oxon U’s]

 

[Essexyellows]

Att: 2500 with 650 Baggies give or take....

[Essexyellows]

Golding has certainly got what it takes............... did they say he`s 17??

Must have fed him well as a nipper.

Meh distribution ? Sorry being bit dopey what’s meh

 

[Foley]

Golding seems to have done really well in the Coventry game and so far today
RO suggesting that maybe he will be kept back and not go out on loan.
If Moore is fit, Golding could be a decent 4th choice CB ( and could play in a 3)?

 

[Jason N]

I think Brown is a brilliant defender, no fannying around, just "aaavvve it!!!" Head, foot, shoulder, it doesn't matter, he'll put everything into it to get the ball clear.

Get it from conversing with my teenage daughters.

Translation - Not that impressive.

 

[Essexyellows]

WBA have stepped up a gear but we are looking a lot better than Saturday in my humble, more pace, more energy..

 

[oufc1991]

We need abit more of that from a few other players that's what i.liked about brown last season

Could be a decent option at left back and gives us that out ball from the keeper.

Wtf what are you on about, apart from one mid placed long kick everything been good, Some opinions on here are almost comical

Yes, in my view, he hasn't really put a foot wrong. Long throw, looks a threat from set pieces. I am sure he'll get quite a few bookings and the odd red but Moore, Findlay, Brown and backup from Golding and (hopefully not) Mous'. I think we're alright. Having said that, I would be happy to see the lad Toal sign.

 

[Essexyellows]

Tyler G on Jodi J off............... will we sign him? Nobody seems to know..

 

[Malc]

BUG GER

 

[Essexyellows]

0-1 to the Baggies...

Yes, seems just as good at left back and centre half. Usually that is not the case. The last player who I thought was equally good in both positions was Anton Rogan!. Still early days, mind.

Just how I see it. All about opinions.
