We haven't seen a lot of Sam Long in pre-season so I would expect we start with Thorne at right back for the first few games

George left us a while ago.

I'd expect Forde to fill in at RB... what else is he really here for as we have plenty of other midfielders.

Having said that, we really should have proper backups for both full back positions ( no more wingers needed).

George Thorne back as a RB?

Fits the profile....permanently crocked.....not a RB....although not actually being on the clubs books or registered with the FA as an OUFC player is a new and interesting tangent.

Yep let's sling him in there!

If you're talking about Thorne, then you haven't seen a lot of Oxford in the past couple of seasons. And if you're talking about Thorniley, he's a left-footed centre half who can only really deputise at left back.

Other than that though, bang on!

George Thorne represented a truly bizarre moment. It’s not often that you’re warned it’s dangerous to put a player on a football pitch and then sign them twice.

Hope he’s finding his way post-football. Always felt for him. His inability to stop trying to come back showed how much he didn’t want to give up on the game that he loved. It must have been eating him up for him to go through that, but I’m glad that he finally stopped before something went badly wrong. Being retired at 27 is bad enough without throwing a wheelchair into the equation.

….but could he do a job at full back?

You lot are just like my wife, always trying to find fault. Obviously I meant Anthony Forde, never could tell those two apart. (embarrassed emoji).

I don't believe you, next you'll say Joe Burnell might be a good option on the wing

It's spelt JOEY BEAUCHAMP, and yes he will be a good alternative.

Same difference *hides*

I expect KR to have a change of heart and sign another CDM before the window shuts. Possibly a bit of a statement signing once the takeover has been completed.

Fran Villalba from Birmingham City would be my shout. Done deal according to a fair few posts that I’ve seen on Twitter..

He doesn’t play as a CDM.

Plus he looks to be returning to Spain.

 

[oufc1991]

Maybe the plan in to put CB in CDM and get a replacement for him if that is the case I’d rather Sykes I think this could be a big season for him

 

[LeftSideBoy]

Hmmmm. Not sure why he’s been mentioned quite as often as he has been then? He’s played CM and as a CAM. Maybe he’s versatile? Interesting.

KR has already stated the plan is to move him further forward again this season.

 

[Andy1505]

Yeah Villalba seems to be going back to Spain, apparently with Sporting Gijon.
