    Match Thread Charlton Athletic vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 6th Oct

    I don't think Kelly has done much at all and has been anonymous for much of the half. That said only Burge, Davies and Willis can hold their heads up after that half so he isn't alone. Just hope we can raise our game in the 2nd half.

    Saturday - Charlton

    It seems the case that players that aren't playing go up in everyone's estimation, neatly forgetting the poor performances that got them dropped in the first place. In respect of Saturday Davies obviously will replace Hyam. If Brown isn't available I would rather Sterling revert to right back &...

    Should Doyler be rested against Pompey on Tuesday?

    Apart from last season when we had our poorest period of the season! He isn't as quick as he used to be but stamina isn't an issue for him, and given that a number of our younger players look to him for leadership, I believe our team as a whole is much weaker without him. It seems that some on...

    Bobby Gould urges City to go and buy Matty Stenson

    Fair enough, but he also signed Terry Gibson & John Williams too

    Barnsley have been scoring for fun and were unbeaten so were full of confidence so this was a real big win so marks are accordingly higher Burge - 8 best game this season, a couple of top saves Sterling - 7 also had his best game this season Willis - 9 marshalled defence well against a free...

    It's always been the case. I follow have the rights to show all league games that aren't on Sky. If they are on Sky they can't show them. Same will apply when we play Sunderland.

    You really are a basket case :)

    Should Rasputin be banned?

    No idea whether Rasputin/ Dongo are one and the same, but I do know it is the easiest claim to throw about if you disagree with someones viewpoint and want to discredit it. I remember when I first started posting on here and made an anti SISU comment, Nick or Grendel, I can't remember which...

    Match Thread U23s vs Sheffield Wednesday Today

    He looks very promising in these type of games which bear no resemblance to the cut and thrust of league games & he did ok when he came on at Gillingham,. However he looked completely out of his depth when he came on against Rochdale. Unfair to judge him on that I agree, but it hardly forced...

    Tony Sheridan

    He played in the famous 3-0 opening day win at Arsenal when Micky Quinn scored a hat trick and looked like he was going to be a hell of a player. Think he joined the same time as Willie Boland who wasn't half the player, but ended up having a lot longer career with us. We didn't have a lot of...

    Lightbourne v Bakayoko

    Lightbourne had scored 20+ goals in each of the 3 seasons before signing for us, and on that basis was a reasonable punt, given that he was joining an established Premier League team as a squad player. There really is no comparison between the two players in terms of their records when they...

    Loan transfer window closes Friday August 31st - 5pm

    A goalkeeper please, but one that will play ahead of the two we already have.

    Sunderland at home

    I know they've started ok, but are they seriously going to bring 5 - 6,000 for a televised game at 12:30? I'm pretty sure when we played them in the Championship at the Ricoh they only brought about half that number.

    Match Thread Coventry City at Gillingham Match Thread - Saturday 25th Aug

    Good point about the lack of movement up front. It's easy banging on about keeping it on the deck, but to do that you need players further forward to want the ball, keep moving & alternating positions, and at the moment we aren't really getting that. Regarding Saturday's game, like others I...

    What happened to the centre back

    You're talking about two matches basically, Yeovil & Lincoln. The common denominator in those games was McDonald who has now gone and who we were right to bin off. I'm quite happy with the 3 we have left. Willis & Davies are a strong 1st choice pairing with Hyam as decent back up. As I said...

    What happened to the centre back

    With Willis, Davies & Hyam it's the only part of the team I'm happy with. I'd rather have a new keeper!

    Academy Players

    With sales of Wilson, Maddison and Stevenson in recent years, together with important players like Bayliss and Willis the Academy has obviously been coming up trumps, but I feel we might be missing a trick with the likes of Camwell and Ponticelli particularly. In respect of Ponticelli, in a...

    Video Blackpool v Coventry

    Should have scored, but to be fair to Ogogo any cross 4 yards out should have the keeper's name all over it & if they had scored I would have blamed O'Brien ahead of him.

    Video Blackpool v Coventry

    The only person at fault for the first goal is the keeper. Willis was in a position to challenge the scorer but clearly got a call from O'Brien & had to trust the keeper in those circumstances.
