Reece Oxford rose to the challenge of a midfield role in the team which drew 0-0 with Charlton yesterday (Sat) and then declared: “The team did well. ”
He explained it was a good experience for him playing in midfield adding: ““Josh [Cullen] and I were talking before the game. We said one and two touches and then pop it. Angelo [Ogbonna] was telling us the same, one and two touches, so we just did that. ”
Speaking to the official site the Irons big prospect said: “We changed into a diamond and I was behind, with Josh more in front, but either way, we played well together.”
Dimitri Payet, Enner Valencia and Martin Samuelsen were directly in front and Oxford explained it was a case of feeding the Hammers’ more attacking midfielders as quickly and as often as possible.
He said: ““Dimitri was getting on it a lot, we were creating chances but the finishing just wasn’t there on Saturday.
He [Payet] is good at getting on the half turn and getting it and turning it and creating chances.”
He said: “Angelo and Tonks were talking to me all game, just saying cover, cover them in front. They did a good job and we did a good job too. It was a good challenge for me.
He added: “It’s going well, I’m getting a lot of games in. Hopefully I could [get back in the squad], but hopefully the team can just progress in the Europa League and get to the group stages.”
Class, class and class, what a performance. And people don’t know what Johnham is talking about lol lol. He will be our first choice RB within 6-8 weeks of the season – watch this space. At a different level to Jenks but nobody listened to me. As you can see from yesterday he can also play CB and CM. Make sure he is not sent out on loan. If he is good enough he should play – ok not every week….
Haha,well everyone has obviously said he can play in the cb & midfield positions.You dont need to be a mastermind to work that out John.Aint seen him play rb though.That is only a masterplan you see at the moment wise man of C&H 😀
This could be the start of something really big, when was the last time a whole crop of youngters came through at once?? These kids will save the club £m’s. All tied down to long contracts.
Hope so Essex,Cullen looks good.Think he could be really good if he continues to develop.Btw Essex,dont get too high over on wetpants.You never know what drug dealer might he there,lol 😉
Oh yeah,lets all worship a convicted drug supplier.****ing idiots.I got a guy in the road behind me is banged up at the moment for supplying,including to my nephew.Maybe they can come worship him as well when he gets let out.Ars#holes!!!
Well they can forget about it because he is an ex-football star.I personally have witnessed one of my granchildren get into the perils of drugs,specifically cocaine.I dont care whether the man has done his time there are many more better candidates for articles on a forum.Ok,im an old fart but i would love to see these folk holding him in reverance on there be the same to the next guy out of the slammer tomorrow who has commited similiar offences.They can tell him what a top man he is.Maybe he can start supplying their kids,he would he a real star then.They can stick their site where the sun dont shine.Bunch of fools!!! Sorry,rant over!!!Im old,forgive me.
So you don’t believe in second chances. He pleaded guilty & done his time. No blaming everyone else, his fukc up. Should he just hide away for the rest of his life?? I in no way condone what he did & i will not worship him.
Its the trail of **** they leave behind them Essexclarets.They flog,someone else takes,they do their time,the people addicted can end up with a lifetime of crap.Yeah he did his time,second chances & all that,but it doesnt help the families with kids who now are screwed because of slime like him.Ok,forget it.Everyone can live in their little bubble of love for him like ostrichs.If he was a nobody everyone on there would be calling him a *******.Because he is an ex footballer it is fine is it.
That is the trouble with celebrity or hero status Slim,they can do things & their fans will forget it.Where as the common man in the street would be scum for doing similiar things.Its bs.
The Development team had a game against Bournemouth scheduled for today?
Did it happen or was it cancelled due to nearly all of them playing in friendlies with the 1st team squad?
