a midfield three of the below with decent wingbacks should be solid enough. JFC & Dobson should even be able to rotate a bit throughout the game as needed.
Dobson Fraser - F.Caskey
Not much pace there.
Had that issue when on paper our best midfield in 11/12 was Green Stephens Hollands Jackson - never really performed like we hoped they would as a 4

Isn't that what the wider players are for. You could also probably bring Clare into it for pace, probably means he or F.Caskey.

It hardly affected us over the season though! And we also had Waggy and Pritchard as midfield options, plus an attacking LB in Wiggins
1. Oxford are keen. 2. The extension has a wage rise built in to it. 3. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that we’ll trigger the extension and he still leaves in the summer.
I've been thinking about this and I wonder why we don't just trigger it anyway. Worst case scenario if he doesn't want to stay we can get a bit of a fee for him on the way out. It's what Chelsea have done with Azpilicueta and at this point it's just protecting the value of an asset. If he wants out then we can have an agreement with him that a sale will happen rather than having rehabbed him all year, which I think was the right thing to do, and then letting him go to a rival for free.
I dont think yu will find many teams willing to pay a fee for JFC with his injury record. If they dont you are stuck with a player on higher wages than you want taken up a spot in the sqaud numbers.
But then we use him. He's a good player, and if no-one wants to pay a fee and come in for him then we can happily keep him for the year. It's not like he's dead weight, he's probably our best midfielder

It didn’t but those two, Russell, Hughes, Ephraim etc meant they didn’t often play together as a midfield 4.
Appreciate it's silly season now Jackson's gone and lots of different versions of history start to get leaked (much like post Bowyer departure), but I got a text from someone very close to Jake that said that Jackson wanted to trigger the extension but TS blocked it.
As a result, Jackson decided not to feature Jake to protect him from any future injuries before the end of the season (and why Jake talked to the press about getting in to shape over the summer and being one of the best midfielders in the league).
Same source as the person who told me about the 1 year contract with an option of a 2nd year last summer.
If I was Jake, funnily I would have wanted to play for the rest of the season, to prove my fitness to other clubs, if Charlton didn't take up the clause. Other clubs would surely be concerned about him not playing much.

It's funny people could tell you that team with their eyes closed. I bet they only actually played a hand full of games together.
I don't think the 2019 play off team ever started another game together. The 98 team probably only 2 or 3.
Both of Fergie's European Cup winning teams had never played before or after the final. The great Leeds United team of the 70s only played together once!

Now that's a great question. How many games did 'the' 2011/12 team play together? That team is generally seen as Hamer, Solly, Morrison, Taylor, Wiggins, Green (Wagstaff if you're Henry), Stephens, Hollands, Jackson, Kermorgant, Wright-Phillips. Yann didn't sign until September and made his debut as a sub against Chesterfield (and immediately stole my heart). So that's 10 games out for starters. Turns out that line-up played all together in just 6 league games. We won 4 of them, drew 1, lost 1. We had some nearly games, like the Bury match where BWP was dropped for, hilariously, Leon Clarke and the 4-2 Notts County debacle where Haynes started on the right because Green was struggling but other than that just 6 of 46. It's funny looking back, we actually did have our fair share of injuries but we rarely remember it that way. Stephens was injured for a while and we had Hughes, Russell and Pritch who played there. Jackson had a few injuries and we used Ephraim, N'Guessan and Lee bloody Cook in his place across the season. Wiggins had some absences and we used Evina and Solly there. We used BWP, Yann, Hayes, Clarke and Haynes up front and switched between Green and Waggy a lot. As the season wore on Cort more or less started to take Taylor's place at centre half. We had a great squad and used the dearly departed short term loan system well, but the killer first team basically didn't exist in any substantial way.

I can't believe you looked that up, I was right a handful (if your from keithley)

I am trying to understand why he might be looking for a move.
That's not what you said.
The only way he will move on loan is if its to the championship on view to a permanent. Unless flat out Garner said you aren't playing, even if your the last man left. Which hasn't, and won't, happen.

I think it is. He will want to play football and might not think he will get enough here. I used the words I would imagine as I don't know, otherwise I would have said I'm sure ........ It is called speculating on a forum if you need it spelling out. Could well be wrong I accept.
Could be a case of pointing fingers, but from how that reads JJ is implying we cocked it up our end it seems as they had supplied the paperwork "with time to spare"

Like most calls around the team this summer, I suspect this will come down to the medical equipment salesman and his son with the hard shot.
I imagine he may?
What does that even mean?
