    A way out of signing Chaplin?

    It’s not great for the price but are we actually creating many good goal scoring opportunities constantly per game? Add a very good left winger to offer balance and retain Thomas I’d be confident our return would increase. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    A way out of signing Chaplin?

    I put that on pressure he’s put himself under to hit the ground running thinking right I’ve got to get goals. It didn’t come and your right he missed a few that a senior striker wouldn’t even think about and tuck it away. The penalty is that of a player with no confidence now. He’s got to grow...

    A way out of signing Chaplin?

    It’s not stubbornness on this particular scenario recently as we’ve only three fit strikers to choose between. JCH, Chaplin and Hiwula who’s having to occupy the left flank. So going forwards changes are minimal till January Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    A way out of signing Chaplin?

    That’s more down to confidence and getting 2 chances a game and coming to a club under the pressure of replacing a man who had a good season. The fee we ended up negotiating was inflated given the strong stance Portsmouth held in wanting him to stay and has not helped him. Sent from my...

    Correct the league is capable of throwing up bizarre results even more so at Christmas. That might be all we need to rejuvenate a few during a busy schedule with back to back home games. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Tom Bayliss - show me the money.

    I absolutely agree with all that except the build a team around him aspect. At this level players like Bayliss are not here long enough to get that reward. As soon as he hits form the next window the vultures will swoop. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Quite possibly the way confidence is and balance of the squad sits. Interested to see your alternative tho? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What you basing he’d not of played JJ and Thomas together in the same side if JJ had of been fit? Quite a assumption that is surely. It’s only logical if you deploy two conservative central midfielders you have a quick attacking outlet down each wing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    --------------Burge------------ Grimmer--Willis--Hyam--Brown Thomas--Ogogo--Kelly--Shipley ---------Hiwula----JCH-------- Left hand side side is a huge issue, Hiwula has tried and failed, Allasani I’ve question marks over the defensive aspects of the job the same as Hiwula, so Shipley gets the...

    Tom Bayliss - show me the money.

    Just to clarify my point I rate Tom Bayliss long term prospects very highly, it’s a needs must situation for me right now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Tom Bayliss - show me the money.

    I did correct, you got to do business at the level and circumstances your at. It’s no good looking long term if you’ve greater issues short term We are in dire need of a left winger now, maybe a right winger too. We’ve players not adapting or performing so that needs to change. Plus or so...

    Tom Bayliss - show me the money.

    I’d rather keep a below par contracted Bayliss than Thomas for another 5 months. Financially that’s not the best way to do a deal. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Strikers

    Easy to look back and suggest it’s wasted, not every signing comes off immediately. Some players go on to click around other players or they just are not the right fit. This is L1 and we don’t have the capabilities to cherry pick players to compliment each other. It takes time and a building...

    At the end of MR interview yesterday he gave a update on the latest injuries. Doyle- tweaked knee ligaments Tuesday in training, Doyle suggested playing with injections and pain killers but next 24-48 hours will tell extent of damage. MR hopeful it’s not serious but felt it was too much to ask...

    Strikers

    Personally I think it’s because we’re trying to make a target man out of JCH. Now we’re all clear this isn’t happening and the ball don’t stick so we’re asking him to find crumbs in between the lines. A natural target man and a left sided winger and Thomas on the other I personally feel will...

    We are in crisis

    Worked well for Notts County didn’t it. Worked well for Scunthorpe too. A new manager can come in but nothing changes at this point, fundamental issues are still to be rectified. Plus some are not disciplined enough to take the shackles off. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
