He played LWB... strange things can happen when you're played in the position you're most suited to
The trouble is, we're now accustom to seeing centre halves at full back! They don't often (and shouldn't) put a foot wrong defensively. But is it worth it for how tragic we are as an attacking side? It's going to cost us our L1 status if he plays that way to the end. They will leave you slightly open, that's to be expected. But Fleming won more headers when he played on the wing than Joseph has won all season - it's not that bad. They are most certainly not out-and-out full backs. They're wing backs, but very decent and dangerous ones. We played to their strengths once - Ipswich at home. Our last win. But they're a risk and since then we'd rather take the easy way out and just leave them out.
Absolutely agree, one of the only players that actually do something above L1 level.
In L2 he's off - we won't keep him around on that wage. Stay up and maybe the plan will be different next year and see him more involved but we're a significantly weaker team without him and results support that.
I like him but I guess it depends whether we’ll be using wingbacks next season?
In the case of Anderson I think he’s one of few who’s looked as though the outlay was proportionate to what he can bring to the side. Were it not for poor management and the odd injury, I think we’d be fighting to keep him off clubs higher in the pyramid. I haven’t seen a player at this level quite like him. He’s a risk because if he was successful with every run he went on, he wouldn’t be at Oxford United. But just because his strengths are niche, doesn’t mean he’s a poor player. But our club wouldn’t know a good thing if it slapped them around the chops at the moment.
Youu miss the point! If we finish above another team by having a superior goal difference its that what matters. The whole debate about an extra point is rendered pointless!
