Credit to MA for delivering the £s too. Don't get me wrong I like him, hope he succeeds, but he will be evaluated on many things, and done will be weighted higher than others. I’m sure league position is highly weighted. He is in credit, undoubtedly, but there are aspects of his job where he deserves some criticism. Nowhere near enough imho to say LJ out, but I see why some do. LJs flaw if you like is exactly the same as his father - namely dull and uninspiring football, boring in other words. However very few criticised his dad for the same thing..........but now they whinge about LJ serving up the same stuff.........jeez........you really couldn’t make it up......... That said, with LJ I can see what he’s trying to do but isn’t quite there yet but with GJ I had no idea what he was trying to do. I’m willing to stick by LJ and hope he gets his right sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand the rational behind it, and i hope it works out for Nakhi and us?. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Wells will be the missing piece to push us into the top 6 come the last day of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what if in the meantime Fammy, Wells or Weimann gets injured? Again we are then short. I'm pretty sure LJ himself said we need two strikers? Taylor is now match fit, if we dont bring another in then I can see nothing wrong with bringing Taylor back to provide that cover. He might not like it but tough luck, until the summer he is our player and if we require cover then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, it requires a Head Coach who can work with the strategy, accepting that he has to keep making progress on the pitch while regularly losing his best players. The kind of big name managers some of our fans crave are not likely to accept the restrictions. He has things he can do better but overall I think LJ has done ok in the circumstances. The great thing is apart from Webster and Reid the others we have done quite well without, we have replaced them well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree we could do with 2 in, we have been most of the season with 2 strikers and backup in Semenyo etc. and don't see that changing with the potential of Afobe Coming back in a month or 2... really don't see anymore strikers coming if Wells indeed signs, Taylor will stay at Oxford as likely he will go there at end of season and will not want to come back to sit on the bench in case someone gets injured! Think from the players we have been linked with today once striker in priority is elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
