    Match Thread Portsmouth FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 21st Oct

    I hope I don't regret this; I think we will beat them. The caveat is always 'if we turn up' but we seem to be doing that every game this season. I think we will win a lot of away games this season because the home team won't put 11 behind the ball, giving our attack space. And we have so many...

    Must be at least £5m, probably more. I've always liked the look of him but this season he's gone up a rung or two.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Blackburn Rovers Match Thread - Saturday 18th Oct

    Oh bugger. I was talking to my wife about him yesterday... how it was amazing that we had a 16 year old make it to the bench without being collected for a few quid by one of the behemoths. Such is life. The kids want to go, bewitched by fantasies of Beckham-like glamour. Who can blame them...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Blackburn Rovers Match Thread - Saturday 18th Oct

    Overrun in midfield today. We know Thomas misplaces passes more often than the PM tells us what job his Dad did, but a whole raft of players were careless today. The difference between the teams was two outstanding vollies.

    It's going to be much harder at home, especially now we have a reputation. They will put ten men behind the ball and we have to be able to break them down. If we score early it might result in many goals as they have to open up. But the longer they hold on then it could be any low scoring...

    Andrews and Dasilva

    Explains everything. Surprised it wasn't more than 3 with that central defence pairing.

    Transfer Rumour Bassette to FC Utrecht

    Sounds like the club thought they'd made a coup signing him and were going to be quids in. Didn't work out.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Apologies if it's been mentioned. It strikes me that we also probably got a small sum when Dom Hyam moved to Wrexham. Reports said we had add ons to the £1.5m Blackburn paid and Wrexham allegedly paid £2.7m.

    It depends on whether they come to play or to Norwich. I've not seen evidence yet that we know how to breach a ten man defence.

    Next block of 5

    10 so far with one yet to play. To be fair, most of the projections not bad. Castellon favourite to win at this point.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    And if we can stay near the top until then we will have the pick of any player in the world prepared to play for the wage we offer but not of interest to a Premiership team.

    Need at least a win to maintain two points per game average.

    It’s getting to the point…

    4/1 after tonight to win the Championship is the best price available

    Take, a bow BTA. Brilliant and so cool headed.

    Robinson was lucky there was another defender close by when he fouled Haji. Otherwise he could have been looking at a straight red.

    I've noticed that Haji is putting in much more effort to get the ball when out of possession these last two games. Long may it continue.
