From victory against York. Holmes Dennis doing well. Oxford Utd moved up the table as well since he has arrived there.
Holmes-Dennis - 8 - This boy looks a fantastic player. So calm and controlled on the ball. Often played into trouble but has the ability to get out of it
I met an Oxford supporter for a beer (well, several actually) last week and the word is that he is a real talent. The consensus seems to be that he is destined for great things. Let's hope so.
How long is left on his contract? Great reading about our youngsters doing well on loan. KAG is another who will benefit from a loan spell at some point this season.

Surprised by that. I would have thought he was a candidate to play for us now, with Fox struggling. I really rate him and am slightly gutted we're continuing the loan.
Still, in Bob we trust. Doubtless it will do the boy good and that he'll get his chance with us soon.
Sensible decision I think. Let him get regular game time. Even though Fox has not done too well, throwing Tareiq in at this stage will not do him any favours.
I have seen this guy play a few times and I think we have a real talent on our hands.
Maybe Bob is thinking of Nick Pope... He had an outstanding period @ York (also in League Two) last season, has come back and has found the jump a bit more difficult... Leave Tarieq at Oxford to learn his trade for the season and then he can be re-assessed in the Summer, am sure the coaching staff are keeping a good eye on him.
The other way of looking at it is Rhoys may not be too far away from Match Fitness... If you recalled (and played) Tarieq for a few weeks, Oxford would probably be forced to replace him with another Loanee Left-Back, that means when Wiggins is playing again, Tarieq will be stuck back in our Reserves seeing your not allowed to play for more than two clubs in one season
Oxford signed experienced Rotherham left back Joe Scarz today and THD is apparently injured and receiving treatment at Charlton. There are different theories about what this means on their forum.
I asked the Oxford FM researcher about THD a few weeks ago, he said he looks a good player. They've also used him at left midfield in some games. The opposition had started to notice him as they were targeting his side - not because he's a weak link but to try to pin him back and stop him getting forward so much.
I'd only bring him back if we were going to start him otherwise leave him at Oxford. He's played 17 games already for them and it would be great if he could double that before the end of the season.

The Oxford fans are really impressed with him, as is his manager a certain...

Once Oxford signed Joe Skarz, it was going to be tough for THD to keep his place and if he isn't playing regularly the loan is a waste of time.
I reckon he might go back out on loan to another club by 11pm. EDIT - Or in the upcoming loan window.
