I’ve been watching the Oxford v Coventry game on Sky.
The first time I have seen United under Robinson - and they are shit ! The commentator has just said the following:
“Oxford fans are turning to Robinson shouting speed the football up a bit...but they’ve only got one way of playing”.
Sounds familiar ?
Two Charlton old boys up front for Oxford today - Obika, and Ricky Holmes...who looks very pissed off.

Was surprised Holmes joined KR there. Was it the only southern option for him?.

It will be interesting to see who lasts longer -
Powell at Southend
Robinson at Oxford
They are both under pressure & struggling.

I must confess, I found the game really boring, both sides.... Oxford very poor in my view

If you read the thread regarding the gaffer’s and Steve Gallen’s appearance at Bromley Addicks Ricky wanted to come back to the Valley but we had a greater need to bring in players in other positions as they saw him as a 10 and we had Grant Reeves Clarke and Vetokele in that position.

Yes i did read it. But that was him offering us his services and not other southern teams after him.

Was a very polite way of saying, you are not needed...

Yet Bowyer has publicly claimed our need for a winger-cum-striker.....

He was however top drawer previously. Bowyer knows more about him than us and perhaps having over-paid Billy Big Balls back in the changing room might not have been the best thing.

I was thinking more along the lines that having publicly stated his desire to bring in a winger/striker that to say he wasn’t “needed” didn’t stack up as well as saying he felt there were others available who would offer more of what LB was looking for from his players. I don’t think Holmes coming back to us would’ve been in the best interest of CAFC but to say he wasn’t needed was, at the time, somewhat disengenuous.

Dunno about Christmas but if he doesn't pull his finger out he'll not see the end of October.
-9 GD, 2nd from bottom, fans turning on him. The ground is coming up fast.

It will be interesting to see who lasts longer - Powell at Southend Robinson at Oxford They are both under pressure & struggling. I would say Powell will last longer. He’s a legend at Southend too.

I hope he's still their manager when we meet them - if there's one club that shouldn't surprise us tactically it's one with KR at the helm.
