    RATINGS FOLKS V Barnsley

    Keogh is player of the year and he has played well in most games, but he is over-praised for this, as he has been the best of a bad bunch. I'm dreading the time he gets caught in possession and costs us a goal, which looks likely as he takes too many risks at times...many close shaves recently...

    RATINGS FOLKS V Barnsley

    Keogh and Cranie had virtually nothing to do. When they did receive the ball (usually kicked straight to them from a Barnsley error) both were able to bring the ball forward unchallenged as the opposition retreated. Their distribution was often poor or hoof. Thus both can get 6, or 7 if you...

    Remaining home games ALL look winnable

    It seems to me that very few fans are saying we WILL stay up but lots are stating we WILL go down. Therefore the latter are the ones who are not really being logical. As it stands we probably have a 50:50 chance of survival based on: 1) we have collected more points in the last 10 games than...

    Still looking for loans - Fisher

    Maybe AT isn't getting any loans but they plan to remove him and put someone else in temporary charge.. Oggy or Carsley?

    Thorn's Midfield Headache

    How many goals has Clingan cost? Facts please. How does this compare to every other midfielder or defender? Harshly treated in my view. The last game we won with Clingan in the team was Boro...also the last game we won with Thomas in the team.

    25 more points needed to stay up, can we do it?

    2 important points, 1) 7 home games left, not 6 as a few are stating. 2) Past totals have nothing to do with this season, especially as Pompey's 10 point deduction comes into play AND they may be docked more or be wound up and then only 2 will drop. The chances of safety being 50 points are...

    25 more points needed to stay up, can we do it?

    Nowhere near 50 points needed unless 3 of our rivals have a massive upturn in form. All 5 rival teams are gaining less than 1 point per game currently. So safety will probably be 42-45 points range. So we need 17-20 points to survive IF, IF we don't lose more than one of the games against our...

    Goals Forest match.

    Agree with Otis, Our defence has escaped a lot of flak this year. People prefer to blame the midfield for everything... A pattern I have seen repeated for, oh...40 years! Cannot remember many midfielders that didn't receive constant criticism. Having said that we need to get behind all our...

    Songs for Marlon King's return

    I did not applaud him when he played for us...so do not see why I would change now Didn't boo him either... A silent contempt is his due until he expresses remorse for his crime..

    Better without clinghan?

    OK, let us explore this together... How will "shouting obscenities" at players who make mistakes help the sky blue cause? Is this not likely to be counterproductive, making the player more anxious? Might you not try to control the frustration we all feel when this happens and instead shout...

    Better without clinghan?

    La Lucha, glad we are in agreement then. All 4 centre midfielders will have a part to play so we will need to support them all. PUSB

    Better without clinghan?

    Si80, your opinion is well put and I respect it. I have no time for people calling certain players shite or saying they despise them..these opinions are not worth respect. They call themselves fans and spend time berating and abusing their own team...followers not supporters.

    Better without clinghan?

    Ok but let us hope AT does not let irrational impulses influence his team sheet. I don't care who plays as long as we win...but neither will I let personal likes and dislikes of players turn into unfair scapegoating of some...Clingan, Bell, Baker, or overpraise of others...Keogh, Thomas...

    Better without clinghan?

    Yeah but an opinion needs to be justified with some reasoning otherwise it is worthless...You are still entitled to hold it but you make yourself look foolish and prejudiced if you cannot substantiate it.

    Better without clinghan?

    Thomas wasn't playing either, are we better without him? We are down the bottom because our defence are prone to cock ups, our forwards miss too many chances. Midfield, though not ideal, are fine when we drop the diamond and play 442 with some genuine width and movement. All of our midfielder...

    Better without clinghan?

    Stupid idea...with a threadbare squad we are going to send our captain and an experienced player out on loan????? Thorn will put him back in the 16, probably starting 11 as soon as semi-fit. How you can despise one of our players beats me. Try supporting all our players rather than looking for...

    Stats

    It tells you we have won 6 games, Clingan was captain in 3 of them. In the 7 games Clingan has missed , we won 3 and lost 4...too small a sample for any meaningful analysis. Note, Bell played in the first 4 wins, Thomas has played in 4 out of the 6 wins. Any meaningful stat to be drawn...
