Ciaran Brown is another. Oxford player of the season pretty much. Another who got the boo boy treatment from the Cardiff fans and became a scapegoat.
Cardiff fans really have to look at themselves as well. They don’t provide an environment that gives confidence to players.

The sun of the whole is much better than their sum as individuals !! Individually we should be comfortably beating Oxford .
To demonstrate what I mean - just take 3 of our “REJECTS” …literally rejects ….not good enough for us … namely Joe Bennet , Will Vaulks and Mark Harris .
All of them will figure in Oxford’s team on Monday .
What characterizes those players ? They are goddamn honest players who will work their bollocks off every time .
Do we have better players in their positions ?
…yes ! It’s a question of attitude and application .

That's because we are all clueless, right? Ridiculous comment to make about the fans. If Oxford had the same 4 years of mostly fighting relegation they'd be the same. City fans have actually been incredibly patient this year and only now are we protesting and rightfully angry. Oxford will go down next year. Small time club punching above their weight thus year, let's see what their fans a like next spring.

No not clueless, just fickle fans who don’t get behind the players like they should.
This isn’t the last four years it’s for a significant time amount of time. Murphy was one. Players don’t get confidence from playing in front of the home fans. Away a different story.

Harris was a worker, he’d run, cause problems, but missed a lot of chances. I actually liked Harris as a squad player, but a club hoping to succeed and not just survive need better options. Same with Brown, overlooked by a lot of managers, dropped down a league and seems to have improved a bit, but is he a player you want when you’re fighting to win or when you’re looking to be comfortable being the lead team?
Bennet was good, getting on now though and left with a lengthy time out and horrendous injury, nobody knew how he would return if ever the player he once was

Haven’t seen Brown lately I would guess??
He has improved a lot. Totally comfortable with him being centre back or left back when trying to defend a lead. He’s a warrior for Oxford.
