| Eom on 09:56 - Dec 7 with 449 views | RichardO | He got the praise from the fans in the ground he deserved for his performance from the moment he stepped off the pitch in front of the East stand when substituted until he reached the dugout. He seems to be playing for place in the team and has adapted well to what is being asked of him, he now has more Championship experience than some of our younger players and that is telling in getting us further up the pitch quicker, starting to turn defenders around and pushing them deeper there is a good partnership with Tymon which needs a little more fine tuning with the help of forwards around him , midfield support and a better defensive mindset. Team game and the right partnerships all over the pitch is vital, Sheehan struggled to find that stable team set up that he did last season lots of new inexperienced players were all vying for places have some of those players now had time to develop. For me the partnership on the right between Ronald and Key just hasn't worked and sometimes injuries a or sicknesses are a godsend for a manager trying to find the right team selection. |  | |  |

I think playing further up, with a bigger gap between him and Tymon helped. They still linked well, but there was more clarity in both roles and both had a great game. |  | |  |

That "playing further up" thing has been a bugbear of mine for a while. Our wingers are often to be found 15-20 yards deeper than they should be. They're having to battle just to get to the position that they ideally would have started from. If Matos can get that bit right then that'll be a big win for him. |  |

Yes, I totally agree. Eom and Ronald were level with Vipotnik a lot of the time yesterday. We haven’t seen that for a long time. I don’t think it’s coincidence that Eom had a great game when he wasn’t playing in congested areas, receiving balls from Vigaroux and the centre backs on half way whilst doubled up on. He had more opportunity to isolate the fullback and thrived. Having wide players higher up should suit Vipotnik too. |  | |  |

I too thought it noticable In a very short time , Matos has made significant changes Early days BUT It’s a brighter Sunday too isn’t it |  |

Some good overlapping between him and Galbraith as well. |  |

When Casey came on Ronald seemed to dlot into right back for a while releasing Galbraith into midfield. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I said Galbraith, I meant Tymon. |  |

| Eom on 12:20 - Dec 7 with 208 views | RichardO | Had been an advocate of fullbacks giving wingers space it allows the wingers room to come short drag the fullback forward to create space in behind them we have seen forwards do this so many times then peel off for the quick ball in behind the defensive but our forward passes are in reaction to those peeling run rather than anticipating them but the time we have seen the runs and delivered the ball our forwards have got themselves offside through no fault of their own. |  | |  |

Twice in the first half, Eom committed defenders in the box and then slipped Tymon in for a cut back. Really encouraging to see. Tymon still got forward a lot, but he knew when and when not to do it. I understand people saying ‘it’s only one game’ and ‘it’s only Oxford’ but I thought we were excellent for sustained periods yesterday. |  | |  |
