They've signed some decent players. They've just got George Thorne on loan who is a bit like Huws in that he's been injured a lot but is quality if fit. Matty Taylor has come in on loan from Bristol City as well who should get 15+ goals in this league. Ben Woodburn from Liverpool is no silly loan, Alex Gorrin who we were apparantly linked with, Tariqe Fosu signed from Charlton, Elliot Moore on loan from Leicester. They've also got Jamie Mackie's experience.
The result against Blackpool at the weekend (2-1 Blackpool) was supposedly fortunate in Blackpool's favour with the manager even stating that they were very fortunate. He said that the chances were being created but that they needed a goalscorer which he's tried to rectify bringing Taylor in.
They really should be pushing top 6. Robinson is doing a pretty good job. Roll on November where I may be able to get some free tickets for the Kassam! [Post edited 20 Aug 2019 9:11]

Have to agree. I can't pretend to know much about Oxford (as with many teams in this league!), but on the excellent Not the Top 20 pre-season podcast one of the hosts, and oxford fan, was lamenting their lack of firepower and how they could be competitive if it was resolved. Since then, they've signed Ben Woodburn, Matty Taylor and Dan Agyei, which is a handy bunch of attacking options.
George Thorne also really stands out. He was superb a few seasons ago, prior to his injury, and even though his powers have waned a bit, he"ll run their midfield.
One of those squads where you think they'll operate more than the sum of their parts. The same has to be said about Blackpool also, going on their showing so far. |  | | |
