    Phew 😥, with all these low expectations we should have a really positive site when the season starts.
    We’re only 4 weeks away from the first concerned post that we’re moving too slowly as Pompey or someone have made one of their loans permanent.
  • Like Henry mentioned the other day, Naby's howler at the Den destroyed my faith in him. Anyway, we'll be looking at Div 2 players ready for a step up and a Div 1 salary. Naby Sarr will probably cost way too much. Tucker looks okay but I think he will go on upwards to the Championship. If we sign Lee or Leko I think I'll shoot myself.
  • God forbid anyone screw up against Millwall (while being fouled). Hey did you know Purrington scored in the playoff final? Give him a new contract! 
  • Loved that goal but Nabby just a lot more expensive!

    Is Maccn05 an anagram of MiserableOldGit?

    No to Sarr. Wasn't good enough the first time around and still isn't. I would rather us sign younger players on the way up with a point to prove from league 1 and 2.

  • Mendes-Gomes? Might have been a target last summer and has only played 9 times for Luton this season. Don't believe that was through injury...

    Good shout but isn’t he a winger? Could continue our trend of loaning a Luton once a year though.

    That statement should be pinned on the dressing room wall.
    In the last minute of a tense derby against them, you do whatever is required to see the game out.
    You are defending a corner and up against an opponent that literally has one trick in his locker.
    You time your jump to win the header or you use your nous and savvy to put off your opponent, put him off balance, make it impossible for him to get a clean header. In short you compete. You defend.
    You do not abscond, abstain, enter stasis, become comatose, surrender, melt, obtain pussyhood or whatever the fcuk he thought he was doing.
    And he certainly wasn't fouled. 

    If he'd bothered to jump he might have been fouled but he just stood there
  • Sorba Thomas looks like he would have been an upgrade on Millar. 

    Once again, he's not a wing back so probably would have been misused here.

    I thought he was a CM but only ever saw him in the playoff final so don't know much about him. 
  • Fair one. Looked to play further forward yesterday so must have played in a variety of positions this season.

    Both goals
  • First thing we need to concentrate on is buy two specialist wing-backs, we have spent 90% of the year playing a formation that requires two very niche roles, something we don't really have in the squad (CBT has done well in an attacking sense but has had injury issues and is a question mark defensively).

    Personally I would bin the formation but Jacko seems set on it. We need round pegs in round holes if we are to persist with it.
    I think still stems back to the summer.  If we had got a really good league one left back (someone like Maatsen, Dasilva or Wiggins) it wouldn't be so much of a problem.  We have got about 5 or 6 viable candidates for the wing back role and only 1 of them is left footed and only 1 or 2 of them are quick.

    That doesnt include JFC and I would like to see him have a game or two there before the season is out.

    No, not that I can see but I can ‘a dick’ in your handle 👍🏼

    I feel like following that statement with a picture of what I assume is meant to be your hand was a bold choice

    It's like when you go on a training course, you come home and use that course training rigidly, often at your detriment as it doesn't always work in the real world.

    Is Freddie Ladapo a realistic target? I know he was angling for a move to the Championship in January but his form has taken a real nose dive since it all fell through.

    The last two or three months may have put off clubs from above taking the chance? No doubt Rotherham will be willing to listen to offers for an unhappy player.

    Think he would pair really well with Stockley or Aneke. South London boy as well so might welcome a move closer to home. Just don’t mention where he started his career.

    11 from 29 this season,
    9 from 42 in the Championship in 20/21
    14 from 31 in League One in 19/20
    18 from 45 in League One in 18/19

    Colchester according to Wiki?...

    Is he related to Tolu Lapado in our u18s? I thought someone said they were brothers but might be wrong. Surprisingly a lot of articles out there on him.

    Must do better research! I knew he had a link to the Surrey stripeys. I assumed it was their academy but actually is from 2016 when they bought him from Margate.

    Having said all that, I am fairly certain that he and Tolu are related…
