VectisSaint Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 13 minutes ago, saintwbu said: Why do I keep seeing people using Rothwell as a player we are worse off without? He was absolutely crap apart from about 5 minutes of the season when he scored two against Huddersfield and one against Sunderland. If we hadn’t gone up and we’d signed him i’m pretty sure everyone would’ve been disappointed. Probably because he was marginally better than having no-one else. Agreed he wasn't very good, but he still contributed something, as far as i can see he he hasn't been replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He completely hindered us in several games, particularly Hull at home, i’d say we would be better using somebody already at the club even if they’re playing out of position.

Ken Tone Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Are we playing 3 CBs? Looks depressingly like RM still sees Stephens as a first choice defender, not just back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Wolf Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Predictions: Sugawara will be our player of the season this campaign. Barring injuries or being ousted as a Pompey fan. We will not have a single 0-0 draw Aribo will either have an amazing first half of the season and get bought by Chelsea or he'll have a terrible one and be farmed out to Plymouth Russ' alleged relationship with Lucy Pinder will take up most of the questions at the press conferences 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been mostly more advanced though in the MF when we are in possession - which is currently most of the time. And a yard or two ahead of the two central CB’s when needs be. It’s a very fluid solution. Bit Stones like I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca155 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 At the very least they need to look like a Prem side playing a Championship side. At the moment they are retaining pocession and looking reasonably solid at the back .... that's all so far, fair to say room for improvement. In a few weeks the likes of Toney, Watkins, and Harland will be spinning and shooting on site. Going to be a long season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) Things we will not see this season : Charlie Taylor steaming down the left wing to create space or an option even an overlap for Sam Edozie.

Harry_SFC Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) More of the same old I'm afraid. No end product from Edozie. Stephens is really unfit and can't pass for toffee. Armstrong is not a number 9. Taylor looks solid albeit slow and adds nothing going forward. Long season ahead. Only positive so far is Sugawara who looks class.

macca155 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Taylor is too slow to play LB in the Premier League, he'll get ripped apart and offers zero support to Edozie. Let's hope KWP can slot in there if no one buys him. Rest of the defence is ok. Downes and Smallbone connecting well. Problem is Aribo, Edozie, and Armstrong look exactly like they were in the Premier league last time. Need a bit of zip in the 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
