I meant that we sat on a lead by not changing things, aka we were happy to keep going with what we had instead of trying to freshen up. Naivity in thinking the same 11 can do the job for 90 minutes will cost us this season, need to make changes quicker, especially when opposition have made all...

Biggest complaint against Robins since he's been here is that he's way to slow to make subs. They'd made three before they equalised and it changed the game in their favour. Sitting on a 1-0 lead is never enough, we should have changed things around the hour mark.

O’Brien - 5 - Made a couple good saves but distribution was poor and feel like he could have done better with the second Sterling - 5 - didn’t look ready, at fault for at least the first goal if not both, hard to justify his selection with lack of preseason Willis - 6 - Solid enough, needs to...

Didn’t notice that myself but wasn’t really looking at him, fair enough. Would have probably brought Grimmer on instead of Thompson, but exposed our lack of depth at CB badly.

Really, really poor in the final 30. Very disppointing as we showed more than enough to get a win today. Defence looks poor, need another CB in and get Grimmer back in the side for Wimbledon. Hiwula played exactly like a player who’d not had a pre-season, hopefully he gets better once he trains...

I literally said this in my last response to you but I've been criticising how long it took us to sign a striker since before Hiwula sign, this isn't a brand new argument. Pompey aren't in the same situation as us because they've not sold their best player to the first bidder, they trying to...

Must be a preferred number then. Surprised Andreu hasn't made a move for 10, do wonder if clubs do actually leave squad numbers open in anticipation of another signing coming in or if that's just something us fans make up.

Another excellent response, big man. Glad we have posters with such well reasoned arguments on this forum, really adds to the discussion.

Mason number 3 is interesting unless Brown requested 12, and has Jones switched again? 11 last season wasn't he? Going for the Jordan Willis record for most shirt numbers by one player.

Christ, like talking to 8 year olds on here. Only hear what they want to hear and then twist the argument to fit their narrative without actually countering any of the points made.

NEWS: Sky Blues Squad Numbers Confirmed For 2018/19 Season

I've maintained from the start that I was unhappy that we hadn't brought a striker in earlier, so yes, I wasn't expecting us to get one in yesterday and I'm pleasantly surprised that we have but that doesn't change the fact that we've taken so long to do so. The post in this thread that seems to...

Yet another poster who simply insults instead of trying to provide a counter argument, but that's all this forum is. Get with the hivemind or get attacked for not, kind of pathetic really.

Where did I say we shouldn't have signed him? Fucking hell, it's impossible to have an opinion on here that isn't just blind positivity isn't it. Surprisingly it's possible for something to happen that isn't just a "good thing" or a "bad thing". Am I happy we've signed him? Yes. Do I think he's...

Alright big man, how about we don't bother having a pre-season next year seeing as they don't matter. See how far that gets us. Sure if Hiwula doesn't score in his first 5 games you won't be pulling out any 'he just needs time to gel' excuses chief.

Hiwula is a good signing but would have preferred him in a week or two ago. Signing a goalscorer now doesn't make up for the fact that we've gone the whole of pre-season without one and took nearly a month to replace McNulty. Hopefully he can hit the ground running but it could take him a while...

Would be a fantastic signings, but not sure who we'd play out of Doyle, Agogo, Andreu, Bayliss, Aneke, Shipley and Kelly

Hmm we don't have a great record with signing from abroad in recent years but he looks a decent player. Would be interesting to see if he comes in as first choice or not.

If it's HITC then it's probably happening. A reasonably decent player and different to what we've already got. Will be interesting to see how he does.
