This is dreadful.

We're so weak with second balls it's actually embarrassing.

January is a strange month to be fair. A lot of people still skint after Christmas.

I remember him being on the chubby side when he joined us.

There's still a couple of weeks left of the window where more movement is likely to happen so there's no real need to panic yet. In that space of time a lot can change.

Wonder if Allen coming back into the side has changed the club's position on Rak-Sakyi. Might be a case of risking it until Sheaf is back.

Fair enough. Carr certainly made things worse by bringing Collins back into the fold as we were still leaking goals prior to Robins' dismissal. I think the block of 5/6 after the fact when conceding goals started to become a real issue was probably the poor start to the season all coming to a...

I don't really take much from the Pompey result to be honest. If anything I expected a performance like that to come at some point. It's just a bit embarrassing it happened in the fashion that it did.

It takes time to imbed a new system and way of playing, especially over a period where games are coming thick and fast and actual training sessions are limited / sporadic.

Your post is completely irrelevant to this conversation. I haven't even mentioned Paterson.

It really isn't. It's still very much a retirement league that attracts oversees players who aren't interested in anything other than a final pay check. No self-respecting footballer in their prime years would ever consider playing there and it shows by the standard. The quality of defending...

Crown Legacy FC. The MLS really is the absolute pits.

Probably about right. FL mentioned pre-Norwich he was doing very light mobility work on the grass and that he expected him to be back in training over the next two weeks. I would imagine he isn't going to want to rush him back though.

We anticipate danger awfully. The run in behind by Wells for his one-on-on chance was far too easy. It was similar to how we conceded against Luton for their second earlier this season. We're very flat as a backline though, whether we play a 3 or a 4. So if we come up against a quick No.9...

They're still a difficult team to break down, which is where we often struggle. 11 clean sheets so far this season. They're light in midfield with Travis and Tronstad out but I don't particularly back ours to capitalise on that. Suspect it'll be a draw. Which wouldn't be a bad result.

That's probably because there's been more bad aspects than good this season. Hard to celebrate one good thing when he makes several poor decisions per game. He's a talented player, but on the whole he's been pretty disappointing so far in 24/25.

MVE's performances this season remind me a lot of Christie's final season at the club.

I think it entirely depends on how the summer window pans out really and who moves on / who is brought in. His development will hinge on him getting a good run of games rather than making brief cameos here or there. Agree re. BTA's decision making. Relying on him coming up against 'less...

Not sure we'd be able to generate a fee for him. But I wouldn't be all that surprised if someone took over his existing contract, like with did with Bidwell when he was initially brought in. Wing backs are a hard position to fill, especially at this level. There's a tonne of crap out there...

We might not have a choice to be honest assuming budget is still going to be an issue this summer. It'd be cheaper than bringing in a replacement in.
