I’m fancying a positive result tonight if we stay unchanged.

Is any one on the SBA coach for this one? I’m on my todd for tonight’s game.

BTA is good enough to be a first choice striker. Let’s not forget he was WBA’s top scorer last season. He’s not going to put up 15-20 goals a season If everyone is available, my front 3 would be EMC-Simms-Wright and Saka, BTA would be the go too role players from the bench. Bassette, in my...

If we’re serious about getting up the table and out of this league in the coming seasons, we need a better sub than Bassette. BTA is a better player (right now) than Bassette so selling him with no replacement weakens the squad. If BTA starts 8 of the next 11 games or so (as Bassette had done)...

Defensively, we’ve been poor all season and there isn’t much reason to believe that MR would’ve done much better than Rhys Carr or Lampard. Away we had Sunderland, Burnley, Norwich, WBA and Pompey. Home games v Sheff U and Cardiff. This is from a purely goals conceded perspective. Looking at our...

Paterson is in his 30s, he’s not in his prime… Even if we signed him, he’s not being brought in as the main man but a squad player. Someone with 13 or so goal contributions last season isn’t to be sniffed at.

In the league we conceded 1.35 goals a game under MR. At home, we conceded 11 goals in 6 games which was one of the worst in the league (still is). In Lampard’s tenure, we’ve conceded 3 goals in 5 home games comparatively. Whichever way you cut it, there’s been an improvement under Lampard and...

This. He came to the club conceding 2 goals a game! There is the obvious point that Haji Wright hasn’t played for him yet and his ‘star’ EMC was injured early on. We won’t be able to fairly assess his tenure until they’re back and we’ve made a signing or two.

Hard disagree on Bidwell too. The only fullback we have who looks better as a WB is JDS.

We would be much worse to watch without Wright or EMC under Robins too. Credit to Lampard, the team has adapted quite well whilst missing 2-3 key players. Yesterday’s win was perhaps our best of the season barring Boro away, even if it wasn’t a thrilling game.

How much is Mike Ashley’s net worth is tied up in Fraser’s? Your personal dislike for him is clouding your judgement imo.

Was it ever really on? I passed on your info to my flatmate (Burnley fan) and his reaction was that he couldn’t see them signing another CB. They have 5-6 CBs on the books It’d be stupid get rid of BTA too, relying on Bassette to get goals from the bench is not what I’d consider a wise move...

If that’s the case, how have we dodged a bullet? Guilty of this myself, but a lot of people got carried away with RVN’s run as interim manager at Man U over a short timeframe. Take Lampard for example, his first season at Chelsea was seen as an overwhelming success and he had a good 12-18...

Agreed, all things considered, we were the better team in the match. Considering Bristol’s league position, you can’t underestimate what a result it was for us today. Happy for BTA too because it was a lovely finish and he had some decent flashes of quality. Theres plenty to come from the...

There’ll always be an element of a new manager coming in and wanting to bring in specific players/player profiles. Apparently we’ve enquired about a few Chelsea players (shock) - including Guiu who is a striker. If you’re Doug King and you’ve spent money on Wright, Simms, BTA and Bassette… why...

Even if we signed him till the end of the season, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. To say ‘we’re fucked’ because we’re looking at him is a massive over exaggeration. Back in 22/23 we signed Maguire to fill the squad up and he played a few games. Didn’t add much value (if any) but he served a...

The infamous ‘Tesco bag’ kit of 2005-06! I had all these kits, home and away from 2000 onwards so there’s a nostalgia factor for me! The tips on their own I really like, personally.

I’ve got quite an obscure Cov Le Coq Sportif jacket that a few new people comment on every game I wear it. I’m hoping we release the yellow ribero Cov top and the black and green Pony top from the existing retro ranges. Then all we need to remakes of the Le Coq Sportif numbers. Just take all my...

Why would we sign Joe Gelhardt?! 😂

Just to clarify, it is the period covering 1990-2004. The Robbie Keane kit, first season in the Championship, 2002/03and 03/04 were pretty solid kits. The Kit@ kits, minus the last season at Highfield Road kit, the quality in kits went massively downhill barring 3-4 seasons.
