More likely Calum Wilson if reports are to be believed.

Talk of Barnsley trying to outbid us from the Portsmouth press.

It's happening... Coventry set to complete move for Portsmouth’s Conor Chaplin

I think he is but the formation they play and the type of player Jackett sounds like hes been chasing this seems to fit the mould I would say. An excellent signing for this level as well. Did pretty well for Villa last season.

Andre Green from Villa has tonight gone to Portsmouth... Surely this is a game changer!

Amongst all the chopping which I hate this is the most bizarre selection Robins has made. O'Brien wasnt good enough for League 2 let alone League 1. I know Burge has had a hip problem but if hes fit enough to be on the bench hes fit enough to start.

Bakayoko was horrendous... But the formation is the main problem. Anyone would be pissed off being so isolated up there on their own. The obsession with the two holding men needs to stop. The three who end up playing behind the striker end up being lightweight midfielders or strikers out of...

Agree. He hasnt been great by any means but hes an 18 year old playing his first games in professional football. Will only get better as the season goes on.

Looks a talent and we will be lucky to have him. Direct with quick feet. When Jones is back we could be a very exciting side down the flanks.

We made hard work of that. Doyle man of the match. I actually thought Andreu was excellent first half. Mason I also thought did well. He had so much of the ball and probably should have done more with it. Probably the most frustrated Ive been with Bayliss. Made poor decisions a few times.

This David Deakin seems to be saying we are in talks to bring this guy in. Not sure how credible he is based on his scaremongering about Bayliss being sold.

Ive never really watched much of a game at that level but the centre back Conor Shaughnessy I thought looked solid. 6ft 3. Wouldnt be a bad loan signing.

I quite like Geoff and know he has had some quite serious health problems so am a bit uncomfortable criticising him. Having said that I grew up listening to Rob Gurney who was absolutely incredible. Believe he still covers West Brom these days. Id kill to have him back.

Thought he was excellent for an hour and shouldnt have been taken off.

I've found Portsmouth's pursuit of a striker and their local press reporting on it as infuriating as anything we've experienced. Reminds me of Mowbrays chase for a big centre half the summer before we got relegated.

Don't think we are out of thw woods yet with this. I think it was always going to be a Championship club most likely to get Bayliss and they can still offer significant money.

Panda or Betterdays... You believe its likely there will be any movement tomorrow?

I think we will still get Chaplin but possibly on loan with a view to a permanent deal later before the end of August. In the current formation Bakayoko would be in the three behind the main striker. One thing I think Robins wants from us is to be able to counter attack quickly. I wouldnt be...

Anyone think Biamou or JCH could get shipped out?

Apparently we have had a bid accepted for the Walsall striker according to Aidan McCartney (who used to be the CT journo) Bristol Rovers have also had a bid accepted.
