Thought he played well yesterday, observations.

Played right on the last man and too far away from fisher , not sure if this was an instruction from AN?

Fisher at times in the first half was having a right go at him for not showing for him.

Needs to work on tracking back left fisher exposed at times.

Got great feet , reads the game well , can see him fitting in really well given more game time.

Bodin looks great and fits into Neil style of play perfectly, jus like Fisher 🙂
 
one thing I did notice was how well he did track back, certainly 1st half when he was on the Invincibles side. Won 2 penalties in 2 games as well. Virtually identical scenarios.

Off thread, but just watched Ledsons winner for Oxford yesterday, was a bit special ! Get him bought ASAP.

I don’t think we tried hard enough to get him, and his value may have increased by summer rather than decrease as we expect.

Bodin looked really good. I also thought Fisher had a great game yesterday particularly going forward and was a man of the match contender for me :thumbsup:
 
Bodin looks to be getting up to the pace of life in the Championship and is bringing a real touch of quality as well. A bonus is that it allows us to play Barkhuizen on the left where he drives towards goal rather than the byeline.

I think we’ll be back in for him in the summer....just hope we haven’t missed the boat and he ends up going to a so-called “bigger” club
 
Thought his overall play was excellent not afraid to take his opponents on, quite skilful with both feet. Thought he tired midway through second half and would’ve put barkhuzen on right Robinson on left and got moult on for him. Only get better with more games at this level

I personally feel he will be a player who will divide opinion. Whilst showing glimpses of quality going forward and having an ability to beat a man, there were a couple of times yesterday where he was easily beaten defensively and as previously mentioned, left Fisher exposed. Hopefully Neil can develop the weaker aspects of his game.

How do you know that? Oxford may have it's own Ridsdale who won't get taken for a ride. Let's say this player is a potential Premiership player and Oxford won't sell for less than 5m should we pay?

Also didn't Alex say one club refused all communication regarding a player?

That's a fair comment , maybe he did run out of gas hence his lack of tracking back.

Left-footed tricky winger? What's there not to like? Get him trimmed down half a stone. He looks a touch on the Lee Tomlin side at the moment. Superb signing. Won us the penalty and clearly loves a goal.

.... Goes down better than your first pint of cask on a Saturday night.

What's wrong with getting to the byeline and getting crosses in behind defenders? There are some benefits in playing inverted wingers but both Barkuizen and Bodin are fairly one-footed and their play becomes too predictable and easy to defend against. Grayson often had wingers switching sides during a game but Neil rarely does this.

Which is exactly what didn't happen on Saturday. Far to often Barkhuizen just stopped and rolled the ball backward. With both wide players 'on the wrong side' I'd like to see them swapping over during the game a little bit.
