Based on the first half, we could have lost and based on the second, we should have won. A draw was a fair result away against a good team.

In my humble opinion the MOM should be both goalkeepers. Now I hope Ian puts out a strong team on Saturday so we can get into the third round FA Cup COYWM

Wanderers TV was dicey in the second half last night. At the start of the second half the picture kept blipping, and throughout the sound was horrific. Sometimes there seemed to be two people commenting, and everything Derek Clerk said was repeated in a kind of echo. If we'd lost I would have been wanting a refund. I also had blips during the Stockport game. Did anyone else experience these faults?

It’s clearly summat to do with the WTV set up that it regularly stops or buffers!! What is Sharon paying for, one wonders, because it ain’t that great |

I also had blips during the Stockport game. Did anyone else experience these faults? Yup, same for me, in both games. There was an apology on the BWFC website a few days ago about the issues. In some cases it was technical and in others, it was human failing. Either way, they promised to sort it out. Clearly that is a work in progress...... |

A good result in my mind.
We were second best in the first half when Oxford seemed to get a lot of space to attack us. But for Baxter making a good couple of saves we could have been behind at half time. Defensively we were fine but the midfield could not get possession and the forwards were starved of service.
Second half, we were much better and had a spell of about 15 minutes when we swarmed all over Oxford but couldn’t score.
I was constantly worried that Oxford might grab something on the break and was, therefore, happy with a 0-0.
Not our greatest performance but we were away to the 3rd in the league so a good point.
A similar display at Portsmouth will be needed.
Marks:-
Baxter - 9 Made a couple of good saves in the 1st half. Very solid.
Dacres-Cogley - 7 A few good burst down the right in the second half
Jones - 7 Linked up well with Dacres-Cogley
Santos - 7 Strong as usual.
Toal - 7 Solid again.
Iredale - 6 Left a lot of space behind him at times. Got a load of the ball in the attacking half in the 2nd half but his ball into the box was never quite good enough
Thomason - 6 An iffy first half together with a booking but then a good second half
Maghoma - 7 Looked classy again
Sheehan - 6 Like Thomason, it took until the 2nd half to get in the game but then good
Adeboyejo - 6 He works very hard but his footballing skills are poor. More often than not, he had the ball taken off him
Charles - 6 Busy but missed a couple of decent chances in the second half.
Bodvarsson - 6 Yet again, he looked class on the ball when he came on
Dempsey
Nlundulu

I still say we need some finishers to help Dion push us over the line
We look good at the back, probably best in league and now all midfielders are fit and raring to kick on, we’ve probably got the best midfield as well, but up front we are nowhere near as potent as we should be
Since Lulu scored ‘that’ one single goal and JDB scored those 2 at Stockport, I’d bet that Evatt won’t dip into the transfer window in Jan for a goal scorer
If we could add any of the following, we’d not only be ramping up our goal threat, but apart from Langstaff, we’d be weakening the opposition
Mason-Clark Posh
Clarke-Harris Posh
Devante Cole Barnsley
Matty Langstaff Notts County
Sam Hoskins Northampton
Alfie May Charlton
Jamie Reid Stevenage
Only trouble with signing any of the above, Evatt just won’t get rid of Jerome, JDB, Nlundulu, Adeboyejo (out of the 4 names I’d prob keep JDB)
I reckon any one of the above would jump at the chance of potentially joining a promotion winning side in a decent ground with phenomenal support

I’m still of the opinion that we could do with another out and out striker who doesn’t need to much time to think just put the ball in the back of the net but we haven’t got 3 or 4 million to spend so we will have to keep our fingers crossed that our strikers will take us up COYWM

I also had blips during the Stockport game. Did anyone else experience these faults? Mine went off and on for a minute or so. Had to lower the pixel quality to stop buffering. No sound problems, no echo. Mine has been very good and much better than iFollow so far, apart from the two blips mentioned. Much easier to sign in and get it going. |

Same for me Pedro, it kept going off for a minute or so but in that minute we might have scored or conceded but fortunately we didn’t. It does need resolving though because it’s certainly not what was promised. I don’t know whether it’s just my iPad but when you’re trying to expand the Wanderers TV main menu it keeps bouncing back, most annoying? ☹️ |

For a start the likes of Cole, Langstaff and Alfie May have recently signed new contracts and even if they would come here we probably couldn’t afford them? Evatt has already ruled out Clarke-Harris so I can’t see that one and Mason Clark seems to be happy where he is. I’m not sure of Hoskins and Reid because I haven’t seen much of them but in all honesty I think Evatt will stick with what he’s got because like I do, I still believe Vic and Dan will come good over the season. Of course if we were to lose Dion, then all bets are off but if he stays I don’t see a striker being a priority for Evatt, especially with the goals from elsewhere now stacking up and we do also have Gomez to really come in yet and he may prove the answer? |

What is Sharon paying for, one wonders, because it ain’t that great I have been in touch with Wanderers TV about my sound on Tuesday night, and surprisingly they say they have no other complaints, and will get a streaming official to speak with me. I can't believe it's my computer as I've never has that sort of trouble before. yet some on here seem to have had the problem, and some not. At the same time I was offered a part refund for the Stockport problem, but that was nothing compared with the echoes and gibberish I heard on Tuesday night. I wonder if anyone at all on here experienced the same. |

Well my thoughts on strikers is that only 1 of the 5(if we're counting Gomez) is good enough for championship and think next season Jerome and JDB are likely to leave. I think of were promoted we really need to recoup on Vic, which we may be able to do without a big loss and Nlundulu will also need to stay at L1 level on loan possibly. So for me, like we did with Charles, Morley, Dempsey we bought for 18-24months rather than 6 months. Last season we bucked that trend and panicked a bit but I'd like to see a return to that long game thinking and buying or loaning players we think can take us to the championship and keep us there. Think in Jan we need to convince Jerome to look elsewhere or take up a B team coaching role. If any of Dan N, Vic or even JDB wanted to move on I'd allow and bring in the striker for next 18months not just to see us out. |

Makes a lot of sense what you say, the only problem is that a striker who will be good enough at Championship level is likely to be in high demand and will cost millions. That is unless we strike gold with a lower league goal scorer....it happens (Jamie Vardy, Ian Wright etc), but not often especially with Man City and Chelski hoovering up anyone who can kick the ball straight.

Could be wrong but there's a guy at Blackburn for 13 goals in 18 games from Pboro cost around a million. The rest (of the top.scorers) are people like Chaplin and Broadhead at Ipswich who were L1 last season. I honestly don't think many teams have a £2M+ striker in thier teams anymore in championship. |
