He'll do well to come ahead of Craddock Beano or MacLean. Possibly preferred as a sub to Potter. At least for the Cheltenham game. JMW is a left winger, Potter is right sided. I see it that he (and Potter) gives us the option to play a traditional type 4-4-2... if we need to play that at any time.

Well I'm over the moon about this signing. I like wingers. If he don't like 'tracking back' thats fine with me. Let the defenders defend. Wingers only get in the way when they try to defend. From what I've heard he has lightning pace and scares the sh*t out of defenders. Stick him on the bench for now ( the team don't need much tinkering at the moment) and bring him on if we're chasing the game, or indeed if we find ourselves 2 or 3 nil up.

I agree, I thought when Alfie came on in Tuesday's game and it kind of looked like a 4-4-2, we were awesome! I remarked as we drove home that I wished we could find another Alfie for the other side! And now we have one! Give the lad a chance before we slag him off!

Club I’m a big Man United fan. I grew up in London but always loved watching the way United played, especially the Treble-winning side. Those guys were unbelievable. Baldy will be pleased.

I'm no club historian but I'm confident he's the first ever Jennison to play for OUFC.
Sounds like he's the speed merchant we've missed since, dare I say, Yemi left.

Blog home Scouting report: Jennison Myrie-Williams, Bristol CityBlessed with searing pace and an impressive left foot, this 20-year-old can set defenders big problems Share Comments (1) Bristol City's Jennison Myrie-Williams is an exciting prospect Photograph: Jon Buckle/Empics Sport It is always interesting to see how players apply themselves at this time of the season, when there is very little importance placed on the game in which they are involved. Such was the case for relegated Hereford recently, when they travelled to struggling Yeovil Town. It was a pleasant surprise, then, to see an entertaining, hard-fought game, with the on-loan Bristol City player Jennison Myrie-Williams giving me plenty of food for thought throughout. Firstly, he played right-wing despite being very left-footed, which can be hit and miss – sometimes your game can become predictable as you are always intent on coming inside, meaning you rarely get behind the opposition and thus have to cross the ball from in front. This is easier to defend than the pulled-back cross, where defenders are facing their own goal. There is a plus side to this, though. When picking up the ball in an advanced position, Myrie-Williams could immediately cut inside and, when in range, get his shot off. This is exactly what he did to open the scoring against Yeovil. Receiving the ball about 20 yards from goal, he drifted past his full-back, feinted to shoot to go past another defender, and then looked like he had over-hit the ball before his extra yard of pace got him there first to give the Yeovil goalkeeper no chance with a low, left-foot shot across goal and into the bottom corner. Whenever he was given time and space to run at the opposition he looked dangerous and comfortable with the ball at his feet. This appears to be a side to his game that comes naturally. As the match became stretched he quickly turned defence into attack with lung-bursting 50-yard runs. On two occasions, once in front of his marker he cleverly cut across, drawing another player towards him before playing a slide-rule pass. Although he is composed with the ball, however, he needs to simplify his game when held up, because as the picture changes he needs to take more time to assess the situation. He was particularly influential as Hereford came under pressure in the second period – brilliantly taking a ball down from the clouds and doing well to keep it when under pressure in his own half. Because of his willingness to break with searing pace he was often his team's best option when possession had become restricted. It is not an easy position to play and when he received the ball with his back to goal on the right, being left-footed he would naturally be facing inside instead of looking for the option down the line. Sometimes he went into congested areas and at other times he was too easy to mark. Confusion also occurred when he was closing down. His body position looked a bit awkward and he would show his opponent the opposite way to the one his team-mates would expect – sending them outside when he should have sent them inside, and vice-versa. He was hard-working without the ball, though his tackling and heading need work. He fancies himself from dead balls and rightly so – he hit a superb free-kick from 25 yards that had the keeper scrambling, the ball grazing the outside of the post. The London-born Myrie-Williams has been at Bristol City since the age of 14, playing 25 times and scoring twice for his parent club. Worryingly, despite having had five loan moves, he has yet to be taken on. If City do not see a future for him, he needs to find a club that does. But he is only 20 and as a former England under-18 there looks to be plenty more to come. How he rates Age 20 Born Lambeth Position Striker Height 6ft Weight 12st From Academy Team Bristol City Responsibility 8 Pace 9 Shooting 9 Heading 7 Tackling 7 Valuation £200,000 Posted by Steve Claridge Tuesday 5 May 2009 00.05 BST The Guardian Printable versionSend to a friendShareClipContact us larger | smaller Football Bristol City Sport More from Sportblog on Contributor phibo 5 May 2009 1:01AM Sorry, but a poor bit of reporting here, Jennison is out of contract at the end of this season and Gary Johnson has already told the paper and said publically that he's being released on a free. 2 Years ago in our promotion season he was useless, lots of pace but terrible with the ball and hasn't even been on the bench for the first team in 2 seasons. Lots of mixed loan moves none of which have resulted in perm moves says it all. We've had alot of VERY good youngsters come through the youth setup at Ashton Gate, Liam Rosenior, Leroy Lita, Dave Cotterill & Matt Hill to name a few, Jennison has been one of the poorer products, will no doubt do well long term in the lower 2 divisions. I think he may do well here. Good luck Jennison Jeterson Jetson ;D

Anybody wondering about M Cole's role at the club can now lay their musings to rest:
CW
“It’s the one thing we wanted because we’ve got Alfie Potter on the right, and we wanted someone who can do that on the left as well."
Interestingly on the St. Johnstone fans boards, they stress that he's lazy goes missing and can't be bothered to track back...rather like a certain M. Cole.

As I havent seen him play I won't comment on whether he is decent or not, but it could certainly be a great move by Wilder.
I shouldnt think many defenders would want Potter and Myrie-Williams charging at them with 20 minutes or so left. We saw what a great job and difference Potter made on Tuesday night so this could be good.
We will have to wait and see though.

Wilder likes left footed players, I reckon we have more left footed players than right ??
Doubt this has ever been the case with this club

As with all signings i'll reserve judgment until i've seen him play. I hope he turns out to be decent, if not no harm done.

Haven't we got a wonderful squad these days?!
Stop moaning people! Lots have been crying out for an out-an-out left winger to allow us to change to an orthodox 4-4-2. Now we have one.
This lad can be a class act for us, so let's behind a new boy that's been suitably attracted to the club and its potential to sign for us!
Welcome to Oxford, Jennison. I look forward to watching you and Alfie scare the living crap out of opposing defenders on a regular basis!

I see this signing as a positive one in every sense of the word. Another attacking player which underlines the intent and attitude of CW. 'We're gonna score more goals than you' Clean sheets? Not bovvered as long as we win, and so glad we have adopted an attacking policy. Bring on the Cheltnum...

Who's moaning? People are having a debate Ok Moobs, no one's moaning as such, I just sensed quite a negative spin on this signing from some people on this thread (and it wouldn't be the first time people have cast aspersions about players they have no clue about , would it?) Anyway you're one of the worst offenders!

Wingers are always an exciting possibility, despite Wilder's track record with them. Good luck to him, Wilder's managed to get two players recently who supposedly couldn't be bothered at their last clubs to work for us here, and considering 3rd time's a charm, I'd say this is looking good already
