BBM: People in the club were telling me we need more players

Thu Feb 19, 2026 9:54 pm

BBM:


"In January and in August there was a lot of talk about how small the squad is. I kept being asked 'we need more players, we need more players' even from within the club. They were nervous about how small our squad was.

Now nearly everyone's coming back from injury and you can see how competitive it is. It's inevitable you lose one or two players at periods to injury.

So I'm very pleased with where the squad is. It's good at the moment because every player believes they've got a chance of playing.

But if you add more players to what we've got already then it becomes not as productive in my opinion."

This is another spanner in the works for some.
Seems the club wanted to back him with transfers but the manager didn’t want/need the backing. A manager who knows his squad and what is needed. Who would have thought it. He goes from strength to strength.

I for one wanted to see a few more players in around Aug/Sept time - due to the amount of games compared to last season.
Having said that - We have had players out but the manager has managed this squad the right way - as results show .
Long may it continue and get the job done :bluebird:

Now why are you deciding to take the p.ss out of me budd,
I was not perhaps the only one who also wanted new recruits in as cover,
i think quite a few like me wanted cover for bagan and we got the guy from Liverpool.

BBM had agreed when he took the job, NO money for players.
So he’s not going to say any different.

BBM applied for the job and got it because he knew all our youngsters and agreed No money.

The Oxford forum is about 5 times busier than this one especially with their very active transfer window.

Yeah things aren’t looking good at all. But it’s to be expected their budget is small, their ground is small they are fighting uphill all the time.

They have a smaller percentage of moaning Wankers like you supporting them as well but they still have them.

He would 100% of taken players that are better than he has.

Clearly we weren't going to spend big on better players and he didn't want just anyone coming in.

Don't disagree that he would have wanted upgrades on a few players.

But I think when he says he didn't want more players in terms of squad size, he's telling the truth.

Great decision for us all, Annis!

I don't think there was a better fit anywhere!

It's worked perfectly, the board are delighted, as is the Manager, the coaches, the academy staff and players, the players and the fans are all happy.

At last, we are all in harmony, but we need to keep BBM and stick together :ayatollah:

He said no, he was happy with the squad, and he didn't need to pay the additional cost that desperate teams need to pay in the expensive Winter window, usually to try and avoid relegation.

Wim promotion, improve the players and buy in the Summer, this season has been perfection.

Yeah, that’s you having a complex because I said generally when is the BBM is a yes man coming up. That wasn’t aimed at anyone it was aimed in general at people saying BBM is a yes man.
