Whilst accepting it has been a little colder that many recent Januaries, it is a concern that the pipework is freezing & bursting, surely it was properly lagged when it was installed, if not why didn't the club's regular maintenance checks spot it & fix it?
Now I suspect a temporary repair will be done to get through to the close season when all the pipework will need to be ripped out & replaced, costing significantly more than regular maintenance...but of course we are a fiscally responsible organisation looking to be sustainable..??
If this was the reason, he’d have gone by now. Seems the most likely status is that his knee is playing up, and neither player nor club know when it’s likely to be strong enough to play on again.
A BBC journalist tweeted earlier that he’s in discussions with MK.
But yes - assumption from my part, but in context of today’s news and considering he’s been pretty much ever-present on the bench when fit, it seems the most likely conclusion.
@glasshalffull doesn't like anyone having a pop at the skill levels of our players, especially Macca. I once made the error of questioning his trapping and role as skipper, be careful or Alan’s gonna get you.

Remember that 'Paul is dead' rumour in the 1960's? Think we need something similar for Alfie.
Gareth mugging fans off in regards to Alfie. it was only a knock... 9 weeks ago haha

John Lennon - Nearing fitness (Precaution) expected to miss an album or two.
At least it means we’re more likely to have him next year.
Paul - expected to play Yesterday.
I think Alfie's Beatles song is fast becoming 'You Won't See Me'

Get back?
Kaikai's is I feel fine
Are we keeping Mawson in cotton wool, so he doesn’t get injured with a transfer about to happen ?
Good to see Tjay back
Another game against the PNL’s, another game where I’m left to wonder why Brannagan has never moved on to the Championship.
He consistently bosses the game against us, hopefully Scowen can keep him quiet today.
On seeing their team sheet quite a few Oxford fans have said a draw is the best they can hope for. Good.
No Kaikai on the bench - seems we’ve probably seen the last of him.
Why would we do that? Who is going to pay decent money for someone they don't trust to play a single game in 2 months
Looks like Kaikai is joining the Plastic Ono Band, though.
No
Unless someone told Todd Boehly that Arsenal want him.
A lively imagination you have there?!
But
... if true.... a reasonable wage bill eased off of our hands

Let’s hope that’s the case.
Why didn’t we just put Oxford fans in the leaky seats?
At what point in his career did Jason McCarthy completely lose the ability to control a football?
+£500k to Anis’ transfer fee
This Anis kid is pretty good.
Oxford have done absolutely no homework on Mehmeti.
Cracking work from Anis, especially to deliver a buffet ball for Vokes to slot home
Even Tjay's back before him and he died the other week
