    Just checking on Norwich and no clean sheet in the league this season and equal second worst defence.

    As Damo says above Charlton to the rescue.
    They also hadn't kept a clean sheet last season until Boxing Day when they played......... 

    CAFC.
    Apart from the 3-0 win over Oxford & 2-0 win over Leicester, both in Feb.
    I may sometimes not be the brightest but doesn't February come after Boxing Day?
    Maybe in your world

    If it’s any consolation, we’re pony at the moment as well. Saturdays first half performance was the worse I’ve seen at the Den since… well… Tuesday night.

    It's ok its just another boring poster thinking they are getting one over on me.

    Just to clarify. 

    In the 2025/26 season Norwich did not keep a clean sheet until they played Charlton Athletic on Dec 26th 2025. This may even have included a League Cup game but I'm not sure on that stat.

    Sorry, read it as they haven't kept one since Boxing Day.

    Deji Elerewe proved his true Charlton credentials on Saturday. After being 2 nil up and cruising at The Den, conceded 2 second half goals then got sent off.

    Pompey getting a great away point from behind at Wolves. Another of the expected ‘strugglers’ playing well. We need to step it up over the next month. No reason with our budget we should be lagging behind Pompey or Blackburn come the end of the season.

    Oh to have someone like Gudjohnsen in our team

    He’d still be bad for us because he would have no one to give him the ball. Also Pompey spent over 10M this summer we spent 2M, with our budget I think we could only expect to finish above the bottom 3, Preston and Blackburn without over performing our budget

    Burnley could set the record for the longest a team has gone without winning at home in the top four divisions if they fail to beat Portsmouth on 31st October. 

    The record is currently held by Sheffield Wednesday which was set last year. Albeit largely down to off the pitch circumstances.

    Middlesbrough are rather an exciting side to watch. Should be at least three up at Bolton.

    2-0 now

    Edit 3-0. This could be a cricket score!
    Edit: Bolton comeback is on 3-1 at HT

    Boro next weekend is going to have to be the ultimate Nathan Jones crimes against football away performance. Even more so than last season's was now Boro actually have a striker that can finish.

    Watching how Boro play makes it so much more depressing thinking about how poor our style of play will be tomorrow.

    Surely our coaches can look at some of their build up play and find ways to apply it to our game. I'm not expecting us to be as good as them, but at least try and play a little more positively.

    I don’t disagree with the sentiment but think Hellberg is on another level from any other coach in the division. He’ll be managing in the Champions League before you know it

    It's interesting that he only ever played lower league football in Sweden and started coaching at the age of 23, not dissimilar to the likes of Wenger and Mourinho.

    Although he did manage to mess up the end of last season - spent most of the season (including before he arrived) in 2nd, finished 5th, then got two bites of the cherry in the playoffs and lost both.

    The Middlesbrough display tonight shows how important it is for us to pick up a result tomorrow.
    I fancied Boro to go up last season and they look even better now.

    Well he managed to lose against a Charlton team that started with a back 3 of Gough, Coady and Gillesphey  :D

    Incredible that Boro are top and how well they play, yet they’ve conceded two more league goals than us so far.

    Someone on here always says it's clean sheets that get you promoted not scoring 2.5 times the number of goals that we've managed to score.

    You are correct but they have also scored 27 goals in 12 matches which is 17 more than CAFC.

    Down to 19th as things stand, 6 points off top 8 and 6 points off the drop zone.
  • Lincoln 3-1 up against Burnley.

    Losing to Lincoln will surely bring a change at Burnley. 

    Lincoln are a good side, but the sort of " minnow " that fans and owners can't accept defeat against.

    The next 2 home games before the International break are now must win ones. No worse than 4 points otherwise we are really in trouble.
