Repeating myself on here but thought for a while that Southampton will get promoted. Wouldn’t be surprised to see them finish 3rd and even second isn’t out of the question if they win out, especially as they’ve got Ipswich at home left.

I think it’s pretty clear what’s changed and what we’re trying to do without the ball. We’re pressing much higher - specifically the two 8s, along with the opposite side winger pinching in to try and crowd the opposition and either win the ball back in the opposition half or force them to go...

I agree with this. My only caution would be that I thought the same about Sheehan this time last year compared to the post Christmas Luke Williams team. I think/hope that the difference this year is the manager appears to have a longer term plan, albeit it’ll require some good recruitment and...

Tbf it was poor communication from Drakeford (no surprise) and poor reporting from the Welsh media (again no surprise). His point was correct. If Reform & the Tories don’t get over 50% of the seats (which they’re very very unlikely to do) between them, then they won’t be able to form a...

Saw us lose 4-0 there in the late 90s. Hopefully do a bit better next year!

The 5th and 6th seats may well be very tight in lots of the constituencies. If there are 3/4 parties on 10-15% of the vote then one of them may be ‘unlucky’ and miss out on their ‘fair share’. As you say it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out next month.

More coaches than National Express 🥁

I think Matos may have second guessed Hellberg and thought he was going to play a back 3 again like he did against Millwall. A bit surprised he didn’t swap Widell and Cullen when he realised that wasn’t the case so there was a bit of mobility to support Parker.

No issues with giving him time to adjust and not judging his early performances. As you say could be a host of reasons but not playing at all seems counter intuitive to me if we’re expecting to play a big part next year. Anyway, this is all a bit negative after today so I’ll wait to comment...

I definitely think he’ll start one of the next 3 games. I’d be tempted to go for the QPR game myself.

Just seen the close of play score. Decent start to the season, especially given the rain and 1st hour of play on Thursday.

Today probably wasn’t the game I agree, but nobody is going to convince me that giving him zero minutes over the last 10 games of the season will benefit him next season. Appreciate it takes time to adjust to the Championship, but if he’s with us next season I think we’ve wasted the...

Really can’t fault the effort from 1-16 today, especially considering what we had to play for and what they did. Kudos to Parker after the mistake for their goal. Always wanted the ball and looked to drive forward at every opportunity. Would be silly to not give him at least 2/3 more starts no...

Makes more sense than FPTP to me, where you can regularly get 60%+ of the politicians with less than 40% of the vote. At least with this system you’ll end up with a percentage of politicians that roughly represents the percentage of the public that voted for them. Seems to work ok in most grown...

Yellow for me too. Although I think I’d rather Portsmouth go down than Oxford so…well done ref/assistant! 🤣
