I could see Bowyer doing for Oxford what he did for Bielik. You could see the quality was there, but he became more consistent, cut out some of the errors and settled into the midfield role as the season went on.
Bringing in a young talented player who was better than our own u23s turned out to be the right decision. The alternative on our budget is an older player on their way down. We had Elliott Ward on trial last year and a manager like Slade would have probably gone for him instead for the experience, as he did with Crofts and Foley. Too many of them together and the team lacks pace and energy.
A friend of mine who works in the WHU youth set up told me that we have asked about Josh Cullen and Reece Oxford but it is unlikely to happen as they need more home grown players in their 25. Apparently there is a minimum they must have.
Both on tour with WHU in Switzerland. No decision from WHU until end of this month.
Reece Oxford has been on loan in the bundesliga twice, surely they would want to loan him to a better side than one who will likely be Championship bottom 6.

Thought there was rumour of him coming to us not Millwall

You run the risk of them not playing though. Unless you are a "top prospect" thinking last season Tammy Abraham level, you run the risk of not playing. If a "big" club is the manager going to put much effort in developing someone else's prospect at the risk of loosing his job?
Our premier league loans will have to play practically every game they are available because even if they are bit crap they better than the no one else we currently have.

We might be after him but it doesn’t mean we’l get him.
Doesn’t look like he played much during those loans, so he probably needs to drop down to a level where he’ll play regularly.
For those saying its just a pboto and could have been left up from last season.
If you have instagram and see the full post you will see he moves a coat from a hook and his photo is underneath, he moves another coat from a hook amd u see Williams picture, looks like the players have pictures up by where their stuff goes and to me with Williams having his up, that tells me he is signing
No it doesnt. It just means that over the summer the coat hook photos were left as they were, and when Williams rocked up for training he just left his stuff where he had been leaving it last time he was at Sparrows Lane.
This. He is still training with us so why wouldnt he have a peg in the changing room. Weird how some people piss their pants when all that happened is a coatpeg was revealed.
As I said a few days ago. Also no JW at PVR today. Taylor was winding you lot up
It's really great that so many of our players have been written off by our "supporters".
Shall we all boo them as soon as they come out of the tunnel?
No. But I’ll point out mindless optimism when I see it.
What mindless optimism?
Dont think anyone on here thinks that the Championship will be a walk in the park, think most of us know its going to be tough
But whats the alternative, announce bloody relegation now and save the 46-games before its officially announced?
Seem to remember very few people thinking that we'd even finish top six let alone top three last season (I was one of them), a lot thought we'd be relegated but look at where we are now
Is it optimism or just hope that drives a lot of people when they support this club
Doucher said our current situation is a good thing, I'd call that mindless optimism.
i don't think i actually said it is a good thing but was trying to state that there is an up side to it - of course losing aribo isn't good but if we do get cullen, bielek and williams back it starts to look different. We have managed to free up some space to replace the likes of marshall, reeves and fosu, who weren't featuring, and if we replace them with 3 quality additions then we will be looking ok. We got relegated with Bauer at centre half don't forget although i would have liked to have kept him as aerially he was our best centre half.
there you go peeps - lee bowyer not panicking either!!!!
Lee wont ever do that though will he
If he starts to panic then hows that going to look to his current players?
Yeah, what's does anyone expect him to say ? If we don't get a few decent players in sharpish, we're as good as relegated before the season kicks off ?

Stunning revelation.
