b0ndl1ne Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Ok I'm a little bit giddy with how we're shaping up so wondering what people would choose as a starting formation/line-up for our first game of the season against a strong looking Oxford side. WHEN(if the stars align) Baxter signs, I'd be going all out attack in a 4-3-3: Peacock-Farrell Clarke & Gerrard McLaughlin & Hunt bombing on as full backs. Fane sitting deep Baxter and Gardner pushing on either side Davies, Holloway and Obadeyi as a front 3. That's a top 12 team in my eyes. Without Baxter you chuck in Green/Banks or revert to the 5-3-2, adding Edmundson or Wilson and dropping one of the front 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsy Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Seeing as the title of the thread is oxford starting XI. You can count Gardner out he's banned for first 3 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) When I saw the thread title, I thought it was going to be guessing the Oxford team, wondering why we would want to. Edited July 14, 2017 by Bristolatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magister Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 A mood of optimism rightly prevails but from Our squad in March we have... lost Ripley, o Niell Ngoo Taylor and Erwin brought in Davies and Gardner how much stronger are we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Tope is in my opinion our most dangerous player and McGlaughlin is a winger for me, his best work is going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dec666 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 As has been said, Gardner hasn’t been signed not to start. Farrell Wilson Gerrard Clarke Hunt McLaughlin Green Gardner Obadeyi Davies Holloway Away from home I think we’re more likely to see Green, Gardner and Fane in midfield.

Blue_Guru Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Given we paid a bit for Dummigan, do you think he is better being cashed in on if possible? Too valuable to be sat on a bench gathering dust? On probably on a good wage? Or is he worth holding on to for when Wilson struggles through the season?
