Real minimal amount of changes we can make unless someone magically gets fit I suppose. Maybe Field at LB as RND can't do the 3 game weeks, maybe minutes for Morgan and Edwards. Otherwise don't imagine we can or will change much
I think Alfie Lloyd will be on the bench. It was evident today that we don't have the pace to get in behind and we never really looked like scoring. I know he is gangly but Alfie Lloyd can take a defender on with pace. Today we never looked like scoring and it will have brought it home to the club that what we need up front is pace, pace and more pace.

I don't know about the team, but I imagine - just a hunch - JS's pre-match address will go something like:
Ox-FORD are a top top team with very good players, who can do a very good PERformance, so we must be very fresh, very alert, to play our best game. It's our second away game in four days, so very difficult, but no excuses, even eef I make sure to mention it every time. We 'ave all our best players missing, so we are lucky to be making zer voyage at all. If we can get a shot on target, it will be, how you say, un miracle. I know zey are first from bottom, but zat means nossing - we can still make zem look like Barcelona!
For the rest of us who are still sane, we'll think our own thoughts.
I am going to continue to ask for Kone as a lone striker, and a change in system. Doesn't have to be permanent, overall I like the 442, but without Burrell especially this is just not going to work as well and hasn't been good for us away from home for weeks.
433, Dembele in the 10, wing backs? Let's try something new. Start by adding a body to midfield, because even 10% more possession would help and at the very least it might catch Oxford cold.
ask Beavis I get nothing Butthead

Taking the piss out of the manager's accent? Wow. 🤣
I'm assuming that his English is far better than your French too.

Dumbele in the 10?
Hopefully that means the ten not available. Awful player and certainly not the man you need when battling for points away from home.
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

I'm fast losing faith in Kone, who I felt was very poor again today. 2 goals in 20 games, now. I just don't think he looks up to it at this level, whether he's a lone Kone, plays deeper, or whatever. I want him to go and prove me wrong, but your eyes don't lie to you.

Lighten up, man! I'm not taking the piss out fo the fact that he's French - just, oh la la, that he says the same thing before every game and it won't wash.
PS I lived in Paris for a couple of years, just for the record, so my French isn't too bad, thanks.

How many times do I have to tell you....
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

LFW's own Alf Garnett.
He's not alone in saying the same thing before every game though, is he?
