Have you been spying on them?

We still scored more goals than most other teams in the league last season

We should go in for KWP not Prowse.

Edozie is bloody good at falling over in the penalty area. He got an assist on Sunday. Worth starting him even if this trick works only a half dozen times per season.

I wouldn't rule out some background shit stirring from his Father-in-law either. Surprised ManUre haven't made a bid.

Time for a Potter's Heron moment!

Things are really looking up

I know but not intentionally, just that I expected more of him than he has shown so far. He may be under orders to stay back but where are those over-lapping runs taht characterised his play last season. Stoke switched their left winger to the right later on so maybe that was a trbute of sorts to Bree for preventing him getting to the bye line and putting in crosses. Can we agree he could do better?

How much did the team miss THB today? He has been the only true leader on the pitch and his absence probably contributed to the rudderless performance we saw today. Troops are inspired by their section commanders and will fight to the last drop of blood for them. Left to their own devices and chaos ensues. We saw that today as well. We need a new leader and damn quickly. A win is a win for all that. There have been plenty of times when we deserved to win but didn't so for once it's nice to celebrate a victory that we did not deserve. Big shout out for Larin, at the moment he is red hot; 20 goals this season? Don't rule it out. Back four were DS as usual. Where's Welly when you need him and Bree just about did enough but he isn't the player we saw last season.

Puctuated by "We hate Pompey" chants even though both are irrelevant to this match.

THB will start, Jander is genuinely injured and it's very unlikely we'll go 442. What's happened to your last season's optimism?

As things stand we have lost Stewart abd Charles, that's all and neither were starters. Last Sunday we had to start without Azaz, Fellows and Jander. Once everything has settled down we'll be on it. 4-0 against the Potters will settle a few people's nerves. We haven't suddenly become a bad team.

You're kidding. Stephens' career here has been littered by a catalogue of errors usually leading to goals against. We dumped him once for good reasons.

Oh Ye of little faith, cheer up for goodness sake, the season is only one match old.

It is doubtful that was the main reason for bringing in Romeu last season. My guess is that his value was as a mentor to the likes of Bragg and Jander. It'll be interesting to see if their performances drop off this season. Certainly Bragg seemed to lack a bit of composure and authority in his play at Watford. Early days.
