For me there was a noticeable difference in Archer toward end of last season and even the Colchester game. He has upped his work rate, seems to have added some pace, and is unfortunately only lacking the finishing touch. If he can start hitting the target he could be excellent. He deserves to stay, if we can afford it.

Yesterday showed if Larin gets injured our season is over. Another of equal or greater quality is needed. Someone at least as good a finisher as Stewart.

He popped up at times last year and got the vital goals. Hope he can carry on that improvement. Shame to see him go!

Our defending has been really poor. Slow to react, not getting blocks in. Hopefully we've got our eye on another CB also...

Bit of early season rust from Fellows..

Ah, you just know we'll either sign nobody or someone you've never heard of. It is our way.. (see: Larin)

Do we actually know Ramsdales thoughts? I know he went to Newcastle but who wouldn't jump at a chance for an instant return to the Prem.

1 goal from ex-striker, 1 from player we missed out on who went to rivals. Season has begun!

Bloody hell, I forgot Ramsdale was still here. If he doesn't find a new club he'll have to play! But who is better, him or Peretz.

So, we've lost Stewart and Charles from last year. Anyone else? Toward end of last season the squad was purring. I expected more departures by now, but starting look like most will stay. Replace the two outs and surely that's enough?

I assume he is tall and thin. Or is it just a name? If he turns out to be naff and puts the ball over the bar we can call him Will Shanksclear. Anyway, 11 goals for Oxford. Seems a good option.

I was almost right!

Jude!!!!!

Still time for France to get 2.

He'd make a good winger.
