Am i missing something or are we honestly pinning all hope of success this season on a player whos current team doesnt think he's good enough to be a first choice starter in legaue one?

According to Portsmouth fans, his managet prefers another striker when playimg one up front.
The fans think he is not as effective playing up front on his own
MR's preferred formation is 4 2 3 1
Seems to me we will have to change formation if we sign him

So many times today our midfield had ball and a quick through all over top of line of defence was on. But Biamou does take those runs. Getting strikers with different characteristics is a good idea. That simple

Why? He can also play wide, similar to Hiwula today.

Just because his current manager doesn’t think he’s good enough, doesn’t mean other managers won’t get better out of him...

Wasn’t it Stuart? Didn’t think Clive was there yesterday. Easy to make mistakes.

Surely the whole point is that we want a goalscorer to play down the middle

I think Eakin is okay. It must be hard during commentary keeping up with play while having messages relayed through head phones. I find Start Linnell’s mateyness with ex-players irritating along with his laughter at non-jokes. Just getting old and grumpy I suppose.(Me, not SL).

Kelly for Doyle and Davies for hyam I’m pretty excited to be honest.

? Nothing wrong with Hyam. Actually I think Robins will go three at the back and wing backs, a lot don’t like it but done properly I think it’s okay

Only caught a snippet, but I think you’re right. They’re both as bad as each other.

This striker that I don't know anything about is obviously way better than the striker I don't know anything about that we signed. Sort it out Sisu and sign him up. #saveourseason

I suspect from the way he has written there's more than a hint of sarcasm.

It’s a good point, as if we stick to the formation we currently have we’d have four strikers (five including Ponticelli) vying for one position.

If we play him out wide, then one of Bayliss, Hiwula and Jones potentially wouldn’t.

So either we’re changing to accommodate two up front or we’re just going to have an incredibly strong bench.

If Andreu is the main man this season, a pacey striker would suit him more or at least wingers who will run behind.

Ha ha...being a short ass, it doesn’t take much for things to go over my head!

She’s struggling in the heat to be honest Wingy. When it rained last weekend, she just stood in the garden and literally soaked up the rain!

She’s due 27th Sept...just under 8 weeks to go. Trying to get in as much sleep as possible before then

Sounds like Robins is definitely still interested.

Glad to see this thread hasn't died, it's like a sickly old dog I can't let go of.

Anyway, I thought our formation Saturday was more

----------------O'Brien
Sterling - Willis - Hyam - Mason
----Bayliss - Doyle - Ogogo
--------Andreu------Hiwula
---------------Biamou

Sorry, that was meant more as a dig at those writing Jordy off after one game/moaning that we signed him instead of Chaplin!

Fake account or not I’m certain Chaplin will leave Portsmouth if not in this window it’ll be the next, could still come here then only 4 months away and would cost a lot less.

He's a winger, but quite the goal threat apparently. May be enough to allow Chaplin to leave.
