    I was agreeing with you btw!

    This idea of a ‘paper thin’ squad is silly suggestion. How many clubs in L1 have more than 21-23 squad players? Not many. That’s not even including young players like McCallum, Eccles and Bapaga and the other young players we’ve got. Since there’s 18 places in a match day squad, and you can...

    We’ve got a few injuries and suspensions, we’re still paying their wages.

    No it’s not, we have 23 senior players.

    With our player turnover, I don’t think that’s much of a problem. You love a negative spin on anything.

    There’s a balancing act with players like this. You don’t want to ‘tame’ them per se, because having that commitment and drive gives people that edge. However, we need to manage it, because that was a pretty senseless challenge to make in the circumstances. That second red card should have...

    Next 5 matches, how many points

    I think we’ll at least get 3 wins, 2 home and an away win too. We’ll probably draw and lose a game too.

    Scored a few in preseason and scored a wonder goal v Rovers. Evidently not a terrible player. Judging players after a couple of appearances is stupid. Let’s wait until he’s played a few games.

    Portsmouth have got a good team that should be competing for the top 2 really. They spent £2m on Marquis! Away at Portsmouth is a big task for any L1 midfield. If we can’t find a CM good enough do make an immediate difference, I’d invest in the development of Westbrook and Shipley.

    Robins has stated the loan market has been ‘difficult’ this season. I like Shipley, if he get a consistent run in central midfield this season, he’ll score 5-10 goals. He and Allen could be big contributors this season.

    We could do with a loanee or two, but we’ve got options formation-wise. We could easily revert to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 if need be. I thought Eccles looked alright in his cameo role v Southend, maybe he’s close to stepping up?

    He made a mistake yesterday, but isn’t going to make a mistake in a 50 game season? Been a good player for us! So far, he’s been a really good signing.

    Probably is too much to ask for. We had the likes of Ogogo and Andreu not getting a game last year who eventually asked to leave... When we have players like Ogogo that are sat on the bench not getting minutes, we moan at the manager for buying such players. Kelly, Shipley and Allen, with...

    The most satisfying thing about this game is that we would have lost this last season. The circumstances of this result is heroic. If we can nick a point at Fratton Park with 9 men playing badly, it begs the question of what can we do playing well?

    We’ve got a first team squad of 22 players, that’s not the case. That figure isn’t including the likes Eccles, McCallum, Bapaga and the other U21s, nor Ponticelli. We’ve got to contend with a few injuries and suspensions and we’re hit thing now. But a squad any bigger and we’re dealing with...

    Rose does seem to have a decent finish on him. Games like today really highlight how important set pieces are, and with McFadzean and Rose, we seem to be a genuine threat. As much as I like Willis and Hyam, neither chipped in with enough goals over a season.

    How about the rest of the team? I could see us playing Bakayoko and Gooden upfront and working around that v Gillingham.

    We’ll probably end up playing 3 at the back on Saturday. Personally, I think a 4-4-2 may be on the cards if we’re depleted. Robins spoke of ‘changing shape’ if anything were to happen to Dabo.
