Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I think he'd take it unless he has better offers in the championship, we are a more attractive proposition than some may think. If Alex Neil wants to get back into football, I don't think wages would be an issue - great stadium, decent fan base, good chairwomen, ambitious board etc. possibly a decen...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
But it’s about creating the sort of spirit and whatever that Oxford had for the last 12 games. They weren’t the best side but they went up. Because their collective overcame sides with better players. You get what I’m saying. That’s the job next season. Being the tactically best manager getting eve...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I think if you’re keeping the system we have to upgrade the wingbacks. Cooley was on the whole excellent this season but he isn’t Connor Bradley. We won’t get Connor Bradley but perhaps loaning one from above might be the way to go there. Randell I think is as good a signing as you get at this leve...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread
That would be peak Evatt, get a player in on loan, don’t play him, then sign him cos he knows best!! I'm not sure that Evatt actually knows what type of player or players will get us out of league 1, his signings are quite similar - we have all (practically all) said for a couple of years now that ...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
^^ I think for me, Bertie, if he's going to go, either under his own steam or otherwise, we just need it to occur quickly. We've been told plenty that a minority or just a few not rights want him gone, but this little survey (obviously not statistically representative) suggests there might be a few...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
I honestly can't understand anyone saying he should stay, if he did it would be absolutely exactly the same next season. He's not going to want to re build his team (would FV even back him to do so after the backing he's had already ?), he won't want to get rid of some players who he's brought in hi...

Re: Should I(E) stay or should I(E) go?
He can't stay IMO, after yesterday I think he's lost the majority of the fans.

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
Just seen santos didn’t bother fronting up for interviews. Get rid of that spineless c*nt now. I appreciate that he's the captain, but surely we can't just single out Santos. Why on earth Evatt thinks that Santos is capable of being our quarter back dictating play is weird, every time he had the ba...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm
After that non performance yesterday I honestly can't see how he can continue as manager - it felt as bad yesterday as the the Stoke semi final did, but the performance was even worse yesterday against an average Oxford team who just played un complicated football. From memory the Oxford keeper didn...

How anyone and I mean anyone can defend Ian Evatt after that disgraceful, shameful, spineless performance is behond me - I know that there are happy clappers who can't hear a single word of criticism and just accept mediocrity. Bottlers end off, a team of robots managed by a robot - I don't think th...

Re: No nonsense, Ronseal type of deal. Barnsley Away. 3rd May 2024 19.30pm
It's not easy to watch, is it. The silly fouls in the dying moments of each half. Keeping it exciting! How do yellow cards work? Do you get suspended for the final with two in the two legs? I was just about to ask that question. Great result controlled the game without playing well - Santos immense...

This 100%.The_Gun wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 1:50 pmMy point is that I’m not confident that whatever leadership Jones brings to the table is compensating for him being a fairly mediocre player. Not just that, but playing him is also causing Evatt to play three right footers at the back, which is suboptimal for balance.

Re: We Must Beat-a-borough - Away v Peterborough, Sat Apr 27th 12:30
Thomason & Jones really poor yesterday, I think Thomason needs a rest and Jones although he's one of Evatt's favourites has been poor all season in the RCB position. I know he's decent going forward but Toal is a much better RCB and we need to stop conceding so many goals & IMO Jones is a big reason...

Re: Season 23/24 Predictions
I'm just finding it a bit hard to see where Charles and co missing basic sitters is Evatt's fault. Must be me.. Of course its Evatt's fault, he's the manager, he signs the players & he picks the team - if our strikers continually miss easy chances / sitters then he's not brought in the right strike...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.
Some of Evatts language the past couple of weeks has been extremely defeatist. Next year will be harder etc, Water pistols, leave the disappointment till summer about missing out on 2nd, which hasn't been mathematically confirmed yet. Dampening expectation with 2 to go is really disappointing. We s...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.
I've been so confident that things will go our way. Didn;t see that coming last night a joke of a game. The referees are not just complicit in football being ruined, they actively encourage it. Ref telling the keeper to go to the other side of the area, then giving him the thumbs up. Deliberately t...
