No doubt fans will snarkily chant ‘where were you when you were shit?’ If and when Wednesday bounce back. As a club, we can speak from experience and you’ve got to vote with your feet when the ownership are running your club into the ground.

If anyone fancies a game of FC26, PM me I’ll send my gamer tag!

Football fans are too easily governed by their immediate emotions.A player has a bad game = bad player and vice versa. We know v little about the things going on behind doors like players carrying injuries and so on. You had several posters saying Haji ‘can’t play in Lampard’s system’ and that...

In fairness, both BTA and Simms stepped up and won us games during our Jan-Feb form. The posters arguing we needed to sign a striker massively overlooked this. In all seriousness, BTA and Simms would start for most Championship teams. I got a decent amount pushback for saying this in preseason too.

Getting a club like our own to the Prem is a great project. If we go up and win the league unexpectedly, we could go up, play the ‘right way’ an elite European team could still offer him a job. That’s why happened with Kompany. I’m just not worried about the likes of Rangers, West Ham, Forest...

RVN was v much in fashion because he had a good spell at Man U who have since performed poorly. Zooming out, it was a v short term and comparing to Lampard, FL did actually finish in the Top 4 with Chelsea over a full season in difficult circumstances. Full disclosure: Lampard was a ‘meh’...

My view was that we just completely nullified Pompey. They only chalked up 0.76 xG from 17 shots. A defensive error from Kitching leads to their goal and it was a v good, composed finish.

Why not? The % of players likely to make it is so low, the opportunity to provide back to the community with private schooling for 3 kids and accommodation is surely a good thing. As a club we definitely need to upgrade our youth facilities to compete in the long term. Players like Monga...

Worst kit, best mems. 🧡🧡🧡

I was in that. Waze recommended that journey which is the same one (more or less) from Southampton that I did in 23/24. To the game (from Slough) it recommended going via Petersfield and really should came back that way. The contraflow added about 20-25m to my journey.

It’s kinda ironic singing ‘city reject’ at him. He left us to go up a division and played a starring role for Ipswich in their promotion season. 100% agree that he’d be a great role player for us. He looked alright last night but we shut them down generally.

He did, as well as BTA and the latter is from BTA's own words. Simms put in a performance that’s put his hat in the ring. You can’t argue that he should play ahead of Wright or BTA but he’s keeping them honest and it gives Lampard food for thought. Definitely deserves more minutes.

I got in at 1:30 and an annoying delay was works on the M27 that blocked the junction to come onto the M3! Seen lots of Cov fans in the service ahead so assuming I wasn’t only impacted. Shit journeys home are manageable when we get 3 points. Imagine had we shit the bed and conceded in the last...

Millwall played well against us. That game isn’t what a typical 4-0 looks like. They went for it at 2-0, we caught them out and they continued pushing, 4. They've gone on to beat WBA and Stoke convincingly at home, so this result is arguably our most impressive to date. With the promoted teams...

We’ve played Leicester and most of the teams we’ve played would be higher up the table had we not beaten them. Watford is a game is a game we need to be winning and that gives us another opportunity to extend our lead at the top.

I agreeably agree! The change was justified and thought we kept Pompey at arms length. Had we won 3-0, no one would’ve had any complaints. That 2 minutes of madness almost cost us and Kitching made an error for their goal.

Exactly. Rudoni played v well in the 5-3-2 because he had a free role. You can’t ignore BTA’s form either and he isn’t really a winger. As the fixtures mount, Lampard will probably switch from his default 4-2-3-1 more often. Last night was a curveball and I raised an eyebrow when I was told the...

Honestly? None of them are in form. We need more goals from them. At some point, the goals will slow down from Torp, BTA and Haji. Particularly, some of BTA and Torp’s goals have been low xG and that’s only sustainable for so long. I think last nights flirtation with 3 ATB is a precursor for...

I prefer EMC but there’s a good case to play Sakamoto if Rudoni has a free role from one of the wings. Last night was Sakamoto’s best performance this season imo, an impact player from the bench is his niche. If you’re 1 or 2-0 up, the last player the opposition wants to see is Sakamoto. The...

Same team as Blackburn. There have been times where our midfield has been bypassed in these last 2 games.
