Start of a really (on paper at least) run of home games for January and first half of Feb where we should be looking at maximum points in each. Orient, Fleetwood, Burton and Cheltenham. Throw in some away games at Exeter, Shrewsbury and Carlisle where we could pick up a few points then will keep us well clear of any relegation battle below us. Just hope we can get at least 2 semi competent strikers in this month and Kachunga makes a speedy recovery.
Same team as Oxford (KaiKai depending) today rather than the team that started the warm up at Chavs.
Come on you Uās

Njoku recalled and on the bench! Excited for that

I assume that means Janneh up top on his own, Lankester on the right and Brophy on the left with Thomas as attacking midfielder?

Nice from Lankester, shame about the Lennett cross.
Already a bit worried that we're going to struggle to get a foot on it in midfield and don't have a long ball option.

Struggling to hold that ball up top it's like a hot potato currently

Apart from the overplayed moment between Lankester and Bennett, we've been pretty poor so far. I think if we can keep the ball down and knock it about we'll do ok, but at the moment we're too happy to just loft it forward at every opportunity.

Ridden our luck a little bit so far today, not great quality all round. Looks like our best chance is going to be nicking it through a set piece today

Two poor sides keeping each other in it so far. Shame because with any of our first 3 striker choices up front I think we'd look a hell of a lot better.
Haven't seen anything from Janneh to change my mind on him - would unironically like to see a centre back up front if it carries on this way!

Njoku can't be any worse than Janneh surely? He'll be full of running and confidence. Janneh can't do the simple things

Janneh isn't doing terribly. He's chasing things down in a role that isn't ideal for him. One of those games so far when nothing is quite gelling, but hopefully we can be a bit more cohesive second half.

Janneh absolute donkey, so physically weak and giving away stupid fouls whilst doing very little. Brophy not having a good game either. Will be lucky to get much out of this unless we massively improve.

Apart from one good bit of closing down early on, I can't think of anything Janneh's done well. Not won a header, barely touched the ball, given away lots of fouls.
