This would be a major issue as it includes all ferry passengers (mainly IoW but also Hythe) plus all of those who park on that side of the ground. I'm guessing that we are looking at hundreds of home supporters who would be highly inconvenienced. Relocating the buses will also be a problem IMO. I hope that the club consider this carefully before introducing the changes !

I would play the same team as last Saturday ✔️

Be careful, I've put my ticket on the exchange a number of times (including big games) and never once got any money back 😵

I doubt very much that he will return to Newcastle as he would struggle to get into their injury hit squad right now and they are bound to strengthen come the summer window ! Also Eddie Howe has never been a fan of his, just inherited him when he went to Newcastle after a falling out at Bournemouth ! I'll be surprised if we don't do a deal for next season !

Norwich were dirty and the ref lacked balls to punish them 🥲

Leicester are also in for him and with 4 players away for the AFCON I reckon that they will be favourites to sign him 😵

Like many players (including the likes of Aribo!) he would benefit from a run in the team but right now as we're winning that looks unlikely ! It's a bit unfortunate but I would certainly give him a start v Walsall and take it from there.....

I reckon that KWP and Bednarek are deemed to look better as they are in a lower league rather than having improved overall ! The three mentioned have definitely improved and deserve a mention IMHO !

Last time I went there I was in the home end behind the goal when Jason Dodd equalised with a screamer in the last minute (I think it ended 2-2) ! I jumped up as everyone else stayed silent and a steward politely asked me to leave (for my own safety) which I did as there was only a minute or so left ! Hoping for better on Saturday !!

Don’t worry too much, I was there and left 4 mins into stoppage time and missed 2 goals 😫

The average crowds are fairly close to last season and those who attend always seem more positive than the majority on here… The matchday experience is pretty good and tbh I’m enjoying it more than for a long while now !!

After watching Mannings inept performance last night coupled with his blunder for their goal I read online that Ian Maatsen of Chelsea could be available for a loan ! I understand that he is highly rated and we have done business with them in the past (ie. Broja) so could be a good option if it's possible....

Bree seems fairly versatile having played both RB and LB so could quite possibly fill in as an emergency CB. Clearly Bednarek, Stephens and THB are ahead of him but as fourth choice back up I could think of worse options !!

💪

26 matches to go so it’s a setback but hardly the ‘final nail in the coffin’ 🤷‍♂️

Foggy on the water, Redjets from Cowes running over an hour late, some very unhappy bunnies 😫

Only Smallbone can be added to that list but tbf most managers have their favourites and in his case he does not have total blindspots !!

That was two wives ago, he got disillusioned with a lot of the crap on here but is fit and well, still living in the area !

Our league position indicates that we are better than 19 teams and worse than 4 teams (all of which we have so far played) ! Glass half full 😇

The essence of 'possession football' is touch, control, pass & move which we are currently doing, HOWEVER, when you look at the best exponents of this (basically Guardiola teams) they do it at a pace way beyond what we do... also when they transition it is in numbers and at breakneck speed which again we don't ! Lots of people are saying that we have a strong squad but the big question is "do they have the quality to play this system consistently" ? So basically the principle is ok IMO but you need all elements to make it work and I suspect that we are still a long way from that (if ever)..... 😐

He's travelling next week, don't see why he can't play for Saints today 😐

Why can't they just be white like most other streetlamps in the country ??

As ever this thread is infested by negativity (not by all of course!) 😵 Hands up all of those who would have settled for an 'ugly' 1-0 win away at Stoke on a Tuesday night, before the match ?? If we can get a run of home wins going then hard fought away points like these will be invaluable !

Absolutely true, I guess that we are all inherently biased towards our own team! How many times have you been to a match with a mate who supports the opposition and opinions in the car on the return journey are polar opposites 😊
