Does head to head record ever come into consideration?

It’s you who’s missing the point because our home record has carried by home form. It’s fair to say that under Lampard, we’ve not cracked the code of how to beat the bottom half teams who play a low block when we’re away from home. It’s consistent v Cardiff (home and away), Hull* (home and...

We’ve put 5 goals past Sunderland this season… on head-to-head, recent form, and since Lampard came in, we’ve been a better team than them.

Based on recent form? 😂

It always was… we’re just as close to Bristol than the likes of Blackburn and Boro are to us.

Look at their form and who’ve beat… at this stage of the season, past form goes out of the window and a quick at the form table shows that. Pompey beat Leeds and Plymouth beating Sheff U, odds things happen at the bottom of the table. What actually matters from now is that we’ve got a...

I’d back EMC to have a big season next year. Rudoni too, as good as he’s been, could easily have another 4 or 5 more goals this season! Sakamoto strikes me as player who’d make the maximum impact as a role player off the bench and that isn’t an insult. Looking at the way teams nullify us with a...

This is top tier copium for Sunderland fans to latch onto! They’re bottom of the form table, whichever spin you put on it, it’s terrible form. They’ve also lost to 3 of their potential opponents, where they’ll have the first leg away. In fact, they’ve failed to beat Bristol, Blackburn and...

He hasn’t even been starting for Burton! What a laughable suggestion to bring him back! 😂

Plymouth on the bank holiday was a good day out, I wish I’d made a weekend of it tbh. The Monday and Friday nights away to Hull in consecutive season… they can fuck off to L1 even if they do have a great fish and chips!

As a team, it’s good that players all over have chipped in but when it comes down to those games where we need that 1-2 star players to win us games, it’s been lacking at times. Bobby Thomas is arguably our most ‘clutch’ player, he’s scored 2 stoppage time winners at least. Defensively...

If Haji is our number one striker going into next season, it’s unlikely we sign a striker. If Bassette is grumbling about game time and you’ve got Simms who can get double figures… signing a player in your star player’s position isn’t happening unless we change formation or get promoted to the...

With everyone fit, Lampard has favoured Haji upfront and his recent game time at LW has been forced. So thinking ahead, you need goal scorers out wide. We almost definitely won’t be signing a ST in the summer unless BTA goes.

Jimmy is a reliable source but Lampard has alluded to players soldering on and for obvious reasons, isn’t going to announce which players and what injuries. Even so, my point that we need more goals from elsewhere on the pitch is completely valid. For reference, Sakamoto’s MPG is 667 and...

Objection! Conjecture!

Simms is playing with an injury himself. That’s besides the point. Assuming Lampard wants to play Wright as a striker next season, you still have to contend with the fact that A) we only have two contracted wingers going into next season and B) the ones we do have mustered 9 goals between them...

The dogs abuse Simms gets is disproportionate imo. By all accounts his season hasn’t been good but his MPG is slightly behind EMC and Sakamoto’s MPG is barely better Bobby Thomas’ yet is treated as an undroppable key player. Looking at the top scorers in the league, you have; Sainz, James...

Last season, we lost all our 6 pointers home and away. We’ve lost a few tough away games and all of a sudden it’s a collapse. It’s not. In our last 6 home games, we’re still 4th in the table on home form where we’ve scored in every game and kept clean sheets v WBA, Sunderland and Pompey...

Unpopular opinion but I’m confident Simms will do well next season. If not, Wright needs to start more games upfront if Simms isn’t up to it and you put out and out wingers around Wright. Sakamoto and EMC have 9 goals between them in 70 games and that isn’t good enough and I’m surprised to see...

The wide areas is where we need the biggest upgrade imo. There’s no depth for MVE, the options ant LB could be improved on and we have 2 contracted wingers for next season. I want to see our wingers take fullbacks on and see a lot more chances created like EMC’s assist v Hull. Too often the...
