How's the 'expected' goals/against thing worked out? It clearly isn't average for this season. Does it include part of last season, hence why our expected goals is so much higher than say Sunderland? Or is it based on chances created/conceded?

That's my first prediction of the year right. Said he'd retire this year, with Wimbledon aiming to be his last appearance. I reckon he's faking the injury - he just doesn't want to play tennis and he's too scared to tell his mum!

I've wondered that myself. The rumours on here/social media may also suggest that MR wants to get rid of him despite his abilities, but if he is here that long hopefully he'll sort it out and knuckle down.

Move off as not willing to pay a fee for him. In MR's comments I read he said he was under contract to 2021but I thought his contract ran out this summer?

I reckon it's E-no-back-'arry or E-no-back-arr-ray So for a song: We know Bright's unplayable Just give him the ball We think Bright is wonderful Surname's unsayable

Wasn't aware of the new signing when I typed that. Enobakhare for Shipley as well now.

Really got to be looking to attack in this one. If fit, Kelly to replace Doyle. If we're struggling to get chances by the hour, MR has to be looking to make positive changes and push up i.e. Allassani for Shipley, JCH for one of the strikers. If Bayliss is having another off day bring on...

I think L1 is about the right level for the three of them at this point in time and can't see any of them getting decent offers at Championship level or similar to any offer we could make at L1. So I don't think money will be a major factor. Burge is improving well the last few years despite a...

No thanks. Average at best and slows play down and passing sideways. Players like him are ten a penny.

GT will probably have a longish career at L1/2 levels based on his workrate, but ability wise I think he's lacking a bit and it was clutching at straws in a very very bad campaign that he got any kind of reputation with us. Reminds me of Freddie Sears at Wet Spam. Sure he's on decentish enough...

I agree that corners need to be predominately put in with pace and inswinging if possible. If nothing else it puts a bit of unpredictability into it as it's easier to misjudge and a defender can send a ball flying into their own net or just bounce off someone. After a while it just puts the...

Just about worth the win and for once we were the team that improved second half. Was surprised Westbrooke started, and even more so when he was on the right instead of Bayliss (I can't understand playing youngsters with little match experience out of position at all) but he improved as the game...

I've read that three times now and still can't make head nor tail of it.

Over a decade in prison and a shiv in the back while you're in there.

That's the reason I can't stand Ozil - he only plays well when the team are comfortable and in those games they don't need him because 9/10 they'll win anyway. But when it comes to close games he just goes missing completely, hiding from play. If anything he's more likely to make them lose...

Because he's a natural right sided player. OK, he's defensive but wasn't afraid to get forward last year. He'd help out Sterling behind him in terms of covering as well. What other options? Bayliss? Not a natural wide player and when we've shoved him out there he looks a shadow of the player he...

Preferable not to change a winning team if possible, but will likely need early changes due to fatigue after boxing day. I'd have Westbrooke on the bench as a like-for-like for Bayliss after 70 mins or so. Brown could be a replacement for either Mason or Shipley if either tire. Thomas out, I'm...

What's the best goal people have SCORED, even in a kickabout or training? I scored a fantastic volley from well outside the area when I was about twelve with a long ball dropping over my left shoulder and caught it just right and it went flying into the top corner past the keeper. About the...

I think our best hope for this is that Charlton have too much Xmas dinner! Though it's far more likely they'll feast on a load of Sky Blue turkeys and give us a right stuffing. What would I do? Give Thomas and Allassani a bit of freedom to go forward and alternate and get Chaplin and Hiwula...

How about we just refuse to pay Pompey the 500k because it's vastly over the market value of what Chaplin is worth and send Chaplin back? They'd take us to court, but then we could could just appeal, and then appeal the appeal and so on and maybe get out of paying until 2025? At least it'd...
