    Could well be this

                         Max

             Tanner. Dickie. Vyner

    Weimann. James. Williams. Sykes

             Bell.  Conway.   Knight. 
     

    or knight behind two strikers 

    Yes knight behind strikers makes more sense. But is Pring not fully fit or LM making a statement on his form. 

    To me it shows that the squad just cannot cover injured players positions . And this 'Top six squad' quoted from our owners is total bollocks

    Everyone knows that January is not the best time to do  business but as BT said the club have summer targets that they might be able bring forward - we’ll just have to wait and see.

    Its very likely that Manning will want to bring one or two players from Oxford - that begs an obvious question, could they make the step up in standard?

    Who ?

    @Sheltons Army I said similar to what you sId on a WhatsApp to @petehinton.

    He was everything I thought he’d be - knowledgeable, articulate, humble, and a bonus - with bit of humour thrown in.  I had no issues whatsoever with his other interviews, in fact I thought they were all decent, but tonight he saved that event from being a bit of a flop.

    It’s the second time I’ve heard him say he’s never chased the next job, the next role…basically let his work do the talking.  I think we are in good hands.

    He is a very good fit for what JL and Tins positioned as what they want.  Let’s hope they support him well.

     

    Yes interesting first week or three. LM looks good, speaks well and seems he might have something about him that could work well with the club/team. Still very worried how much control will BT and SL want to try and take on the team selection. And will SL give him at least some of that nest egg for new players. Because I just don't see a top six side in the current squad. I would love to be proved wrong

    I think what most people are saying is that the foundations were set by Nige to start to take us forward, not go backwards.  So Manning shouldn’t take us backwards.  He can make an impression by continuing what was started.  That’s my interpretation of what most are saying.

    They aren’t saying he should’ve turned us into world-beaters in 3 weeks in charge.  Even if the Heirarchy make stupid claims! 😉

    Yes wise words as always Dave. Can't go tomorrow but will be interesting to the line up after 3 weeks with the squad. Who has impressed the new boss in training and how the new boss sees those players lining up with their new tactical set up. I do not expect big changes. But who knows.

    Just hope it’s good news on the Vyner front aswell as benerous , it just seems like every time we seem to get a player or two back we loose a couple and they all seem to be pretty long spells out . The danger is now as Atkinson / Conway / Benerous get back on the grass ( god I hate that saying ) and then get some games under there belt ( that one too ) there is always a big risk of either breaking down or more likely picking up little niggles that put you back a few more weeks at a time . 
    regarding injuries I have a negativity in me that either Williams , Naismith and James have a injury just around the corner. If we could keep a pretty much fully fit squad think we might surprise a few people .

    Yes a fully fit squad for a decent period of the season would be interesting to see how far we could push the league position. Are we a top six squad?  I am really not sure . But would love to be proved wrong.
