That’s why we have Allen.

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.

Some have you look rather silly now...

Most players develop with more experience over the years. As for Kelly-Evans, neither were good enough to be first team players. Played in a poor 1st team and Robins was quick to replace them when we were rebuilding for the L2 campaign.

Young player improves? Shocker...

I regret not getting off at New St after work and buying a ticket for this game now!

Our fan base does love a good moan

We’ve had 2 games, can we please reserve judgement?

We started slow last season too, I have faith that Robins knows what he’s doing

Cov fans?!

Considering he came from Non-League as a semi-pro and the highest paid player in L1 that year was a Luton player on 4k per week, that’s reasonably plausible.

Or his two goals against Notts County...

Pretty sure that vague description describes all of our wingers...

Bright joining a Championship team, let’s be honest, has been seemingly obvious for at least a few weeks. Disappoint he gave so much chat about staying, but fair play him. I hope he does really well

We can’t really afford to stay away from the RICOH ourselves. The support was decent against Southend, but another year at St. Andrews and attendances will continue to fall.

Btw, I was being very sarcastic! Gooden would be decent signing, the kind of signing we need to make an immediate impact!
