That’s a proper chance, got to be scoring that

This ref will not hesitate to send off Larin, consequently ruling him out the Pompey game. It’s imperative he doesn’t get another yellow.

Same ref as this fixture last season. He’s absolutely fucking appalling.

Millwall V West Ham today and Wolves v WBA tomorrow. I note there’s no bubble for the latter game either, despite the absolute carnage that occurred the last time they played 😂 Hopefully the newly appointed FAB are taking note.

Just came through now.

West Ham will likely win the league and it’ll be between ourselves, Wolves, Boro, WBA, Norwich and Millwall for the other two spots.

You have one job - get rid of the bubble. Good luck.

Since we won the playoff final, he has managed to win three league games. Three. I wonder if Fabrice is still wanking him off?

We should have put the Dobbin fee towards Lankshear. We’ll really regret being tight where he was concerned.

Just back and fucking hell, I’ve never seen a more predictable game. They were largely shit, loads of lower league aggression and enthusiasm, but little quality. We completely played into their hands though. Those last 20 minutes were absolutely infuriating. Our starting 11 are fine and will compete with anyone, but our squad lacks depth and we’ll have plenty more games like this unfortunately.

Transfer window wasn’t good enough, simple as that. We were infinitely worse after the substitutions.

I agree. It’s completely different to Romeu or Walcott coming back. He should start tomorrow as he’s currently the second best midfielder we have available.

Looking forward to this, travelling up Friday afternoon. Bit annoying there were only tickets left in that crap stand to the side when we were buying, before Saints went and magically found another 400 behind the goal! Peretz, Bree, Kevan, Wood, Manning, JWP, Downes, Scienza, Azaz, Matsuki, Larin. Have to win this game really.

Frustrating that we’ve paid £9m to just buy another copy of Cameron Archer, who we paid £18m for and have just loaned out. Really weird recruitment that one.

Well done to all those who said 4 games ✅

Decent point if we beat Lincoln. JWP is far better than Bragg and should be starting if we’re without Jander We’re going to regret not getting another striker in. Kevan is going to be fun. In one way or another.

JWP has been very good since coming on, he should be starting at this level.

Both Larin chances had someone slightly in the way, unfortunately. Should have done better though with both.

Downes for me so far

Really sloppy in possession so far, they should be winning.

0-0. Took us 10 hours to get home. Ridiculous that game wasn’t postponed 😂

Always looks pitch black too, could do with a few new floodlights.

I do agree, but not going up this season is catastrophic, and every big hitter will be gone. So it’s a risk, IMO, to not have given the squad a bit more depth.

This thread would be completely pointless, and empty, if everyone just waited and judged players on future results though. Maybe a transfer window thread isn’t for you?

I think signing a kid with 13 appearances as a THB replacement is ludicrous, but at least we are well covered in that position, albeit mostly with shit. But if Larin or Scienza get injured for any length of time, it’s season over. We are woefully short in those areas. Considering Solak’s bullshit comments of a ‘stronger’ squad, it’s been a poor window IMO.
