Ok. I'm a glass half full sorta guy, always have been. And I'm finally on the "sack the lot of them" side of the fence. Astonishing how bad we look here. I don't believe there isn't talent here, but on the whole the mental fortitude of a 2 legged shrew. Players we talk about bank rolling...

I honestly think if we get in an experienced CB and CM, we'll see a massive improvement. Not just because of what they bring, but because of the impact on the people around them. I think Dovin and Thomas will 10x with a wise old head with them at the back, and that everyone will reap the...

Seeing a lot of slight at Bassette - and he should be doing better - but we need to remember he's a kid and he needs to adjust to this league. He's going to make a tonne of mistakes, but that's necessary for him to fulfil his potential. It's like when Hamer first landed in the league and wanted...

I usually like to think I'm reasonable with my analysis, but sorry but Collins has to be done with getting gametime. I'll forgive him the second, as that is on Dasilva, but that first destroyed our momentum, and put Pompey in the driving seat. A confident team would have been unfazed, but we...

The officiating - both ways I might add - is absolutely horrific.

About as I expected it to be personally. We still have a lot of work to do. On the positive: + EMC just looks so much more relaxed, he's gone to hit a major purple patch soon. + Bassette's movement is levels. + Other than a lucky deflected goal not felt that threatened our end. + Our top end...

Yeah there is some very Sky Blue tinted glasses on here 😅 I expect us to struggle tonight, so that means if we put in a shift and come away with any points I'd be delighted.

Feel like I was watching a different game re: Sheaf. Never seen a holding midfielder give the ball away so much in my life.

Lati MOTM - absolute monster today

Been chewing on this for a while so keen to see if anyone else sees this. But I do think a huge part of the players profile Mark would sign off on / request / expect, were basically "nice guys". He clearly cared a lot about making sure there were no egos and that everyone could get along. When...

There is not a chance in this universe or any near by that MR goes to a club like Hull - not with those owners at least. Personally think he will be out of the game for a little while anyway - his payoff won't be small so no need to rush. He will wait for the right gig to emerge.

I cannot believe in the year 2024, people who call themselves football fans don't understand the idea of rotation in a squad. There might be a "best 11", but the notion that it can be fielded for every game in a season is just nonsense. Players on the bench who were bought in summer is not a...

The first time the SBA sing "There's only one Mark Robins" when he's in the opposition dug out is gonna hit different...

Congrats on missing the point though 🤣

I'm definitely team "anti-loans" - but that is a dependency on the squad being complete enough to ride out injuries. I don't think people understand how expensive loans are. A very primitive example: Ben Doak from Liverpool on loan at Boro, vs Norman Bassette permanent signing from Caen. Fee...

Because a) last night wasn't a forum about transfers, and b) it's well publicised that the kid has been injured since pre season.

89% of comments on this forum are people positing opinions as truths, and it is wild. Especially from anyone with a semblance of ITK status weaponising said status to try and protect said status 🤣 People need to get very comfortable very quickly that no-one will know the full truth of any of...

If you take it like for like on a season then of course, but I'm talking about Robins -> Lampard vs Eustace -> Rooney.

And BTW if we do actually appoint Lampard, that is worthy of even greater mockery than Brum when they hired Rooney over Eustace. That would be any semblance of faith I once had in King gone.
