dinnae-punt-it

Looks like we could be set for a second MJ windfall.

Wolves and Birmingham have been joined by Stoke City in the race for Oxford United winger Marvin Johnson, according to the Sun (Sunday 5th March, page 65). The 26-year-old has been hugely impressive for the Us this term since making a move from Motherwell in the summer, and this form has attracted interest from the Championship, and now seemingly, the Premier League. Johnson has spent most of his career plying his trade in the lower regions of the non-league game in England, but burst onto the scene last term with some impressive displays for Motherwell. Oxford have taken to life in League One pretty well, and currently sit comfortably in the table well clear of any relegation threat. Johnson has proved to be a crucial member of the side, and the loss of the exciting left sided player could be huge for the club. The Us though will no doubt be seeking a decent fee for the winger, and Stoke or the host of Championship clubs wanting his signature will no doubt have to stump up the cash to capture their man.

This goes back a few years, but loved Stuart Elliot: http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/02/28/an-ode-to-hull-city-legend-stuart-elliott/

Wholeheartedly agree.

Look at the difference between Scot Bain's save from Clay in the 2nd half vs Samson's attempt at saving Mark O'Hara's goal or Haber's first. Yes we have problems all over the pitch, but none bigger than those caused by Samson. Maybe if he instilled more confidence the defence would settle down a bit more; instead they always look like they are on tender hooks.

Samson's positioning for a couple of the goals is very suspect. He leaves a huge portion of the goal for Haber and Co to aim for. He wasn't the worst, but a half decent keeper would have stopped at least 2 of the goals if not more. He is a total imposter and always has been. He played in the same youth team as one of my mates and he has always maintained that Samson must have some agent to keep getting top flight clubs.

Premiership Form Pts Last 6 Celtic 18 Aberdeen 15 Dundee 11 Killie 9 St.J 9 Thistle 8 Hearts 7 ICT 6 Accies 5 Ross C 4 Rangers 4 M'Well 3 Relegation form if ever I seen it, especially when you see a number of the teams around us significantly above us. Even worse than Rangers on current form, and that is saying something.

He has been for most of his career. It was Derek Adams who converted him to a midfielder as he is bit on the small side for a centre half.

McManus is no more a leader than any of the rest of them.

After about 10 minutes today it was obvious that the young defence wasn't working and that the change was McHugh to centre half with either Jules or Chalmers getting hooked, with a midfielder coming on. It took shovel face 60 minutes to make that change. A blind man could see if. Simply not good enough. McGhee continuously picks the wrong team/formation and has to go. He's not good enough!

Couldn't believe it. I didn't cash out after the first goal as I thought there was no way they'd have time for another one. Clearly they did.

The wee bandit busy my acca. Lost me £384!

Aye but they have hardly had a run of games to get up to speed. They still kept out more goals than the other two did the other night!

No Hammy or McManus........maybe that is the key?

Just signed up to £10 a month on the back of this opportunity. I'm ashamed that it took Les to do this to get me involved, but glad he did. Hopefully I'm a few months I can increase it to £25 a month.

Can't believe he gave a red card for that. Never more than a booking. Las slow to close down the shot, weakly sticking out a foot resulting in a deflected goal. Been a poor game so far.

I'd be inclined to go with: Samson (reluctantly) Heneghan McManus Jules Tait Cadden McHugh Lucas Chalmers Moult Ainsworth Subs: Griffith, Pearson, Hammell, Lasley, Bowman, Frear, Ferguson

Joe Fryer, Middlesbrough U21 keeper on trial to replace Dean Brill who is on trial at Colchester.

Dean Brill linked with a move to Colchester.

Wee Dom scores for QoS.

Picture

I'd say this photo shows the ref called it correct. Might be the only thing he got right, but Lucas can't blame anyone else but himself. Delighted with a point given the circumstances.

For me, Samson was to blame for the first two goals, Lucas for the 3rd. Score the penalty and things could have been different. Overall though, just not good enough. Midfield is non-existent and defence is honking.
