Reckon we’ll end up with Bunney up front if they start dropping like flies? Did occur to me it was one of the benefits considered when we signed him?
I'll stick my neck out and say that if Bunney plays up front before the end of the season we'll be in League Two next year.

Should be a healthy gate. Poxford have sold 1,300 so far. Would hope for over 6,500 pushing 7,000

Not sure if your logic here?
Not sure about the "if"..... please explain in English what you mean, exactly? ?

Probably right I’d say, not my preferred option either. Shows how desperate we’d be if Long cops it to be even putting this out there?

Considering Hoskins is fairly consistently in the team anyway it seems a little unfair on him to say he's not good enough to be a back--up striker.
But it's true

What if a game situation demands we play more than one striker?
So if we lose our 2 first team strikers, and by some chance we need to play 2 strikers? What if Chelsea lost Morata and Giroud, Tottenham lost Kane and Llorente, Man City lost Aguero and Jesus? Mathis has never started a mans game of football in his life and i am not sure why he is here .
He's here to play 3rd choice striker in a team that players 1 striker. For the record, we are also a team that only plays 1 goalkeeper per a game. O'Donnell was down injured for a bit last home match. Does anyone think we would have been better suited to buy at least another first choice keeper?

Thanks Wolvo for bothering to explain it. I don't know what people expect. Oh cue standard Berahino, Pearce had never played a league game before joining us.

Yes , all logical and perfectly sound points which I agree with but the point I’m trying to make is that Mathis is not an option to starting a game as a lone striker when he has never played 90 minutes of men’s football.

Why do cobblers fans always think the worst?
What happens if?
What happens if the sky falls in? What happens if we are three nil up and the four horsemen of the apocalypse show up? What happens if they fix the part of road that the puddle forms in?
Miserable feckers.

No, Vick's vapour rub would open up my airways. That would make thigs much much worse.

Agreed, I also wouldn't fancy an untested player leading the front line... but that's sadly inevitable when you injure your first choice, and then second choice player in any position. It happens at every club (Chelsea last night played at home with no recognised striker) as it is completely unfeasible to expect 3 or more 'first team players' in every one position. And more frustratingly, FA rules won't allow an emergency loan for outfield players. Look at when we had Phillips and Moloney injured, McWilliams stepped up. Mathis (or even Hoskins) may work with O'Toole behind. In saying all this, watch Long smash a first half hat trick on Saturday with Van Veen back in training on the Monday...

Looks like Oxford are going to hire Craig Bellamy as manager.

A good head on his shoulders. It will make them an even more likable club.

Hilarious to read the forum when Bellamy was first mentioned and they were up in arms about it. Now it's happening he's suddenly the best young coach in the game!

Bellamy is only slightly more likeable than Appleton .... Not great news if they appoint him just before they play us

I bet Bellamy will have them playing Warnock style sh*thouse football in double quick time.
