We’re a mid table squad with a mid table budget. It rarely deviates far in terms of cash availability and league position. The odd outlier but in general it works that way. You have to keep pulling recruitment rabbits out of hats to buck the trend. Defensively we’ve done the opposite.

Crikey, some extreme reactions here. Binks is not a good player. But he does wear Sky Blue at the minute.

Happy Christmas all.

Simply because the CBS is an expensive, loss making entity. Having use of the facilities for rent is not a bad model.

Does seem it but in reality two of those happen within 6 months. Just think the rebuild job is quite a large one. I think we need 4-5 players. But that’s into the existing squad. You have to imagine we’ll lose at least 2-3 of those currently in the starting 11. That leaves you needing the thick...

The facts don’t bear this out though. The Pompey capitulation was awful. But we haven’t buckled under pressure or adversity. We’ve taken a lot of points from positions where we are behind. It’s a far more basic problem for us - we’re just shit defensively.

Spot on. Remember the Marlon King debate.

Pointless arguing about what our worst performance has been. The top and bottom of it is Robins was superb for us but had reached the end of his road. Lampard is in situ but it can’t be argued this is his team. So comparisons should only be made 3-4 transfer windows in.

That’s the point though isn’t it? We’ve probably cheered on all manner of miscreants. We’re only really interested in what goes on on the pitch - and so we should be

I’d take Camp at the minute

Thats top work

I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get an absolute shit kicker of a CH and a complete hacker of a CM. Both of whom don’t have at least 500 championship games each!

If we’re going with Kitchen at least he’s a unit.

We won’t lose. We won’t go down. We’ll be very comfortably mid table. Don’t panic

Exactly. I think his spell out injured earlier in the year coinciding with us struggling catapulted him into thoughts as some sort of modern day Souness. He’s a very good championship midfielder. But that’s it

There’s loyalty. Seen some unbelievable low points of which this isn’t remotely close to but it’s still Coventry.

No. But we need another player, just one, who can play there. The dip in his form must be at least partly due to the fact he has to play every single game. And if he gets injured who knows what we’d do.

When Sheaf becomes our biggest problem we’ll be in a very good place.

Hopefully most will recognise the rebuild job Lampard has. He’s inherited some talented forwards, a couple of half decent midfielders, no leaders, no experience and some shocking defensive options. I detest loans but he’s going to need at least 2 to limp through to summer.

Dasilva’s basic issue is he is utterly clueless at defending and he is a defender. He’s trading on the skill that lots of players do these days which is the static five yard pass. It’s the most basic skill which somehow nowadays has acquired currency.
