Haha great shout. He now plays for Alfreton Town for anyone else wondering. Christ we've had some dross play for us!

Has nobody mentioned Rickie? 29 minutes. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/8188512.stm Weirdly that article doesn't mention it was his debut but I'm sure it was.

Steven Davis superb today, was unlucky not to get a few more assists. Thought we looked a little less controlled in attack after he went off - not that it was an issue and he deserved the rest. Brilliant performances as well from Long, JWP amd even Wanyama. Is it coincidence that the back four look so much more composed with Forster back? He's such a good organiser.

Bump

First chance I've had to watch us in a good few weeks and must say and I'm quite concerned with how little we created. It felt like we could have played that second half for hours and we weren't going to score. We look laboured and lacking in any sort of intensity or urgency. Big few weeks needed.

Can see a scrappy 1-0 here with a goal from a pen/free kick/corner. Two good defensive teams with a couple of special attacking players apiece... Just hope we're on the right end of it.

Leicester were brilliant in the second half so fair play, they deserved something out of the game. Probably deserved to win considering our second was offside. The game would have been completely different if Mané scores to make it 3-0. Very tight margins in this league though, so overall a decent point against a form team. Kelvin, however, is passed it. I love him, and he's a legend, but he was woeful today.

Anyone know what channel we're on today?

I know the Ritchie family and I would be very surprised if Matt ever played for us. He bloody loves Pompey.

Wow great night for our Irish boys! Well done chaps

Wow, wish I hadn't come on here to read this. I thought it was a close game in which two errors and some outstanding goalkeeping cost us all three points. Reading this you'd think we just got beaten by Portsmouth There's work to be done, but we aren't going to get relegated ffs

Bit ****ed off as I paid £4.00 for today and ended up just having to watch a dodgy stream on hahasport again. Hope they sort it out.

We were the better side but didn't really create anything. Jay Rod still not sharp enough, but he'll only improve by getting game time. I thought Wanyama and VVD were excellent. Tadic was the only dangerous attacking player, but I wish he'd ****ing shoot sometimes.

I'm getting nothing

Thanks muchly - seems to be working. I've got the Chelsea-Everton game up anyway

Not used kodi before, anyone able to give any pointers on what to download etc?

I'm not sure we'll be the step up that Monk would want. By that time he could have much better offers. I've said for a long time that Howe has been on our radar. I wouldn't be surprised at all if its already being planned to approach him as a replacement for RK in the long term

Way back when this thread was young, I suggested that £15m was vastly overpriced for Austin and was widely lambasted for it. And yet it turns out every premier league club agreed! I told you all so

Only got to watch about 15 mins after we scored the third, but even that was better than anything else I've seen this season. Feeling a bit more positive this evening.

If I'm not mistaken, at the same age as JWP is now, Morgan Schneiderlin was struggling to get into the team ahead of Paul Wotton... Let's give him a bit of credit.

You really think so? Even in games where we dug in and played defensively (the two Chelsea games spring to mind) our passing was still crisp and quick, we played out from the back and generally tried to play our own way. And there is no way we were less direct under Adkins, sorry. You just need to see Rickie's goal and assist stats to work that one out. If you watch the video of Davis, Jaidi and Schneiderlin watching the JPT final, even Kelvin says how we spent two seasons often sending the ball long to Rickie's because it worked so well. Edit - I should point out I that I'm not disputing we played some great stuff under Adkins, we just also utilised long ball when it suited

Not much more to add to what's already been said really. Bitterly disappointed. I'm not enjoying watching the team at the moment, the football is poor, mistake level high and passion level very low. Koeman just seems like a different person - tactics are so wrong and sorry, but last season he NEVER would have compromised playing good football in our style to try to win a game ugly. As for the post match comments, just bizarre. We were **** and that was obvious to anyone. A lot of work is needed. 4 strikers on the pitch at the end and they were complete strangers. A win on Sunday is so important now. The feeling in the squad and amongst fans will be so low over the international break if we go into it yet to win.

E Cedric is going have to cover a lot of ground then

I'm pretty sure he only started there to combat their set piece ability. Nothing more than that.

The last time I felt this confident about a defeat was before we beat Everton 3-0 last season.
