A special mention to…

[Silkblade]

Tyler Bindon.

Came into the squad at the beginning of the season low on confidence and you could see that in the way he was playing, got pushed aside due to his performances and was essentially thrown into the bin for a few months and we all thought it was a waste of a loan spot.

Now look at him, arguably one of our best performing players in the team right now. I hope we sign him permanently.

I saw someone say in the match thread he is so composed for a young lad and I couldn’t agree more. He has really made the step up when he got given his opportunity by Wilder.

Another MOTM performance to go with it tonight as well, well done Bindon!

Glad others saw this MOTM tonight. He is starting to turn into the classy CB we were expecting.

 

[Stretch]

Definitely MOTM. Pretty much a faultless, complete CB performance.

 

[BerksBlade]

I thought he was slow to react to Cooper's fumble, but other than that he did well tonight.

In all fairness I would be slow to react to, I wouldn’t be expecting my goalkeeper to drop a ball that he’s seen all the way and wasn’t hit with much power either

Not sure any of our squad expected Cooper to drop that ball.

But not ours to keep - can’t build a team on back of loans

We were right behind that goal, ball was hit hard and was swerving, not saying he shouldn't have done better, but it was not as easy as you are making out.

Fair enough then

Question..

£10m plus Bindon for Peck in the summer

 

[JohnDenver]

Man of the match? Against a team that applied zero sustained pressure? Nah…

He did everything right, but let’s applaud defenders when they’re asked more questions than tonight.

Finally, someone who watched it. Oxford were absolutely pathetic. Hamer tried a lot of things to get our sideways and backwards stuff going, he deserves more praise than he’s getting.

The issue was that he tried to catch it, if it was swerving just push it wide.

I’m not joining a pile on but it was poor goalkeeping, a shame after a few good games.

There is little doubt that Oxford were dire, but that doesn't mean he had it easy, or that they didn't create problems.

Every time he was asked a question, he dealt with it. And in the 1st half he was the only defender who looked properly switched on. Admittedly they weren't helped by the midfield being half asleep for 30 minutes.

 

[Blades Glory Owls Down]

Really pleased with how he has turned things around after being part of a team at the start of the season that was collectively awful.
When we brought him in, I thought it was a good signing. He had the attributes to be a good defender with good ball handling skills.
He has shown that since being brought back into the team and save for a few iffy moments, has looked accomplished alongside Tanganga.
Hopefully he can keep it up over the course of the season and help us at least challenge/put pressure on the play off chasing teams.

 

[Keen Blade]

He seemed torn between catching it and deflecting it wide
That moment of indecision cost him and you could see he was furious with himself afterwards.
But a forgiveable momentary lapse in standards which he's set high recently.

In the lead-up we failed to pick up at least 2 loose balls so it's unfair for Coops to take the whole blame.
Their guy should never have been in such a clear shooting position.

Bit of a fluky goal all round.

 

[BalticBlade]

Some don't like him because of how he speaks and because he'd played for Selles previously. I think some were also looking for him to make the same instant impact Harry Souttar did. Lad's only just turned 21. He's six years younger than Souttar. He had a dodgy start to his time here, there's no denying that but he's shown his character in working his way back into the first team and many of his recent performances have been excellent. One of the first names on the team sheet for me. I reckon he's got a very bright future and will go on to play for one of the big clubs.

Something I noticed towards the start of Wilder's return was that Bindon was dropped from one of the early squads, but he was still warming up with the squad before the game.

I know that's not a big thing, but it showed his commitment to making the loan move work and not giving up despite being dropped.

I think his calmness and composure is a similar trait to Souttar. Would be interesting to see some videos of 21 year old Souttar to compare!

Not ours, so can't get carried away, but good to see a young lad performing well.

Probably more down to Wilder than owt else.

 

[wardonia_blade]

Reminds me of Dave Powell from the early 70s.

We always have one or two travelling who don't make the matchday squad. When Chong got injured in the warm up at Oxford, Soumaré was promoted to start and Zätterström took his place on the bench.

[Lupa The Noa]

Not sure any of our squad expected Cooper to drop that ball.

as soon as a shot is taken you have to, as a top defender, set off on the assumption that it may be spilt- the same applies to a shot that looks as though it's going over the bar- you have to take into consideration that it might dip and come back off the cross bar. If you watch the Italian defences they're well drilled in this. And that's exactly what Pearl-Harris did.
