Karl Robinson expecting to strengthen at Oxford. He said: “I’m expecting to have three players in within the first week of January to bolster the squad. “I think the people we bring in will make us better, which is scary really. “They’re not done but I’ve had the green light on two of them, so I can’t see why they wouldn’t.”
I read or saw somewhere that they are paying £3K P/W towards the snakes wages too.
They really are going for it this season it seems.

I’d agree that we need some more pace. We’re a hardworking, well drilled side with a good defence and the likes of JCH, Smith and the midfield chipping in with goals at the other end of the pitch. Neither of our fullbacks have that much pace about them, same can be said about the midfield and as fantastic as JCH is, pace isn’t his best attribute either. A quick CAM that can move the play up the pitch quicker and can feed into the strikers is what I would target in January.

Pace and athleticism are wonderful qualities in a footballer but at the end of the day the player has to do something with the ball.
For example Mensah has great pace but he is currently languishing in the National League.
Craig has no pace and he is lauded, rightly, as an outstanding defender.

If they have gambled and don't go up, it'll probably be a Scunthorpe type situation for them soon after.
