Le Hack Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Des Buckingham's been appointed as manager of Oxford Utd in League One. Currently running second. Could be promoted to the Championship next year. Apparently he is Oxford born and bred. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Bruno didn't do that well in Perth, and TBH I didn't see Berisha play except in derbies. Also of course, the rest of the team have to play to the striker's style of play for him to be outstanding.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMAC has the record. Berisha and Fornaroli aren’t too far away at goals per games ratio either perhaps.

Popular Post neio Posted December 10, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 I'm going to get ready to duck for cover here, but Berisha is the best striker the league has seen. He did everything, and so many times put his team in his back and carried them. Maclaren is probably the best goal poacher the league has seen and works extremely well in the system that he has been deployed in and Bruno could be the most talented of the 3 and has the highlight reel but has also been shipped out of 2 clubs pretty swiftly. I'd say those 3 are pretty clear above everyone else 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glover was awarded MOTM by the BBC coverage and on social media Middlesbrough fans are starting to say that their original number 1 isn't guaranteed to gain his spot back when he returns from AFCON. So Tommy must be going pretty well over there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still his end product needs to continue to improve by a better final cross or shots on target (when he hit the upright that was so close).

Yes, he still makes some howlers (two by my count) but otherwise he was solid. Was he lucky? Yes but also he did pressure their forwards, his distribution has improved and a stoic defence meant that they got inside the Chelsea player's heads. Chelsea would have been better off by selecting D. Williams and L. Wales who would have been a lot cheaper for the same results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the top 6 A-League clubs were to be transported into L1 right now, would they be top half or bottom half? Bearing in mind that the promoted clubs from League 1 are going into the Championship, which has some pretty seriously senior clubs in it, I would guess bottom half. You can look at https://www.skysports.com/league-1-table for the current standings and https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/league-one/attendances for average home attendances. The latter can possibly be taken as indicative of the level of the "size" of the club and therefore its likely resources and therefore the players that they might be able to attract, but that's just a feeling I have. For example, the five least-attended clubs are pretty small clubs on a national scale. But I wouldn't in any way suggest that attendances are a good absolute measure.

The lesser clubs would be mid to lower table. But nearly all would be better than League 2, which on the basis of the match I attended back September, is pretty poor. A League is better than a lot of people here think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
