Hopefully the scout was put off by his howler...

He’s also mocking Gatland for saying the gap between England and Wales was ‘massive’ last season. Wales are doing well, so credit to them and this game will be a difficult one. Can this see one panning out in a similar fashion to 2017. Hopefully we put them in back in their place with a...

Yep, it’s best to avoid this absolute minefield of a subject. Both sides will eventually come together and sort something out. Coventry going extinct over this does damage to everyone involved.

The chances Bakayoko, JCH, Chaplin, Hiwula and even Thomas has missed far outstrip any mistake Burge has made. The case and point being Walsall away in the league. Even Gillingham at home, Bakayoko misses a really good chances moments before the we concede the penalty. If we can sort out our...

Burge is playing two leagues above Scott Loach, right? He probably isn’t that good. I don’t mind Burge as a GK, has made a lot more good, point-saving saves than clangers over the last two seasons. He’s out of contract in the summer so we’ll see if he stays or not. Personally, I’m unsure if we...

That’s a pretty fair assessment, Burge has been pretty good this season. Made a lot more point-saving saves than clangers. As for Stockdale, you’d expect him to be a lot better than Burge. Has played in the Prem and helped Brighton to promotion with 137 appearances. Most of his career has been...

Ah yes, he didn’t make actually get cap for the senior team despit eveing called up, did he?

Stockdale is an ex-England international and played most of his football in Premiership. He ought to be better than Burge. As someone mentioned, he’s on massive wages at Bham. It’s also rather silly to get overhyped by one performance. If we can get a better GK, then I’d happily make that signing.

He needs to be sacked apparently.

We have Hyam, Bayliss, Chaplin and Hiwula all contracted starters. Players like McCallum are coming through and others in the U23s are apparently close to making the step up. Bayliss could leave, but we’ll get a healthy fee if he does. As could Burge and Willis, but think Willis will end up...

We’re 11th, 7 points off of playoffs, after 32 games, the comparison between Slade’s 17 games is plain stupid. Now we’ve beaten Rochdale, I can see us winning the next 2-3, equally we’ll probably go on a losing run after that. That’s been the pattern this year, and that’s indicative of a naive...

It’s February, so mathematically, automatic promotions is still a possibility, despite being virtually impossible. I’m just as frustrated as the next person about our recent run, but if we step back, we’ve had the chances to win games we’ve lost/drawn. To me, that’s a positive in the sense...

It’s worth noting that Portsmouth lost twenty (yes, 20) games last season. We’re a newly-promoted team and we’re not at risk of getting relegated. So there is no real justification for sacking Robins. If we were to start off badly next season, there could be a decent case to sack the manager...

Case and point was the Gillingham game. Bakayoko missed a sitter then a little bit later Willis makes a rubbish header and we concede a penalty. It is frustrating, but at least we creating the good quality chances as it means there’s something to build on. Or Blackpool? I wasn’t there, but...

I’d say a bit of both. We’ve certainly had the chances to have better results than we’ve got. Tactically, however, I would say we are generally quite cautious and mainly concede from mistakes.

For years our fan base has bemoaned the club’s lack of a long term plan. Yet, we have a manager who is our best since relegation from the Premiership, and we have one of the youngest teams in the league. Why don’t we give them time to develop and the manager time to build the squad. We’ve spent...

Evidently. However, who expected this move? It weren’t long ago MR was saying JCH could be a 20 goal-a-season striker. Seems rather abrupt to me.

The same Peter Crouch that’s signed for Burnley this window?

Fair point. Again, I can’t see why we’ve got rid of him for free though? With Ogogo, the mutual termination probably waived the signing fee we would have owed him, so that’s a positive.

I can’t work out why we got rid of JCH for nothing when teams were willing to pay a fee? It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
