I think we’ll win comfortably but don’t expect it to be the start of a good run of form.

One step at a time. Our home form has been completely laughable so would be nice to get another win here then try and back it up with something against Millwall too. Will look a bit healthier then.

Anything but win in a terrible, terrible result let’s be honest.

Every home game is looking like a must win.

Collins in goal is what I’m hearing

@Saddlebrains can you confirm just so I know to spend Boxing Day at home or not

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

This would be mental. For both Collins himself and the team.

Was worried about making it to the SkyDome in time for the Blaze game but good to know I'll be able to leave nice and early when Collins has given them a 2-0 lead in the first 30 minutes.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

The definition of madness ….. repeat the same & expect a different outcome. Collins needs a time out of the team for his own mental health. He looked shocked and depressed at Portsmouth.

He didnt seem to depressed afterwards when he was laughing with the Portsmouth coaching staff

 

[Chris1987]

If we don't beat Plymouth then we are truly in the shit

As did all Cov supporters

 

[clint van damme]

I can't imagine how bad Dovin must be in training.

 

[pusbccfc]

Plymouth are an incredible 8/1.

 

[Chris1987]

I can't imagine how bad Dovin must be in training.

Kitching too . Surely Collins cannot start this one .

 

[fernandopartridge]

Thomas was so lackadaisical at Plymouth I feel a bit like going nuclear and dropping him for Lati as well as Binks for Kitching.

 

[clint van damme]

Kitching too . Surely Collins cannot start this one .

If he doesn't appear between now and the cup game his time here is surely over, but you'd think hed get some minutes given the amount of games in the next 12 days or so

 

[Boicey]

Dropping Collins is absolutely essential. We all knew yesterday was coming. He isn't good enough .
Anyone sensible would be dropping JDS for Bidwell as well.
I was not keen on Lampard if he plays Collins I will be hugely pissed off.

If FL keeps Collins in he must want to get the boot

4 against Pompey
1 against hull
2 against WBA
2 against Cardiff
2 against Sheffield United
2 against Sunderland
2 against Luton
2 against Burnley
2 against Derby
2 against Shef Wed
3 against Leeds
2 against Swansea
2 against Oxford

Except Bidwell and MVE all of um Joel, Kitch, Dasilva, Thomas Binks and chuck Collins in, all need moving on.

We need to spend a sumer transfer budget on a brand new left back and 2 top centre backs, and loan 1 more in.

If we have to keep any of the crap we currently have, keep Joel simply because he can play more than 1 role.

Did I miss the game. Thought it was boxing day

 

[Flying Fokker]

0-3 defeat

That’s the spirit.

 

[Marty]

If Collins starts then questions need to be asked of Lampard.

Dovin, Bidwell and Kitching back in the starting line up.

This is a must win game.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

My prediction of Wayne Rooney’s team talk: If Lambard has picked JDS at left back & Collins in goal. Just sit deep and wait for a miss pass, then counter with a high long ball towards JDS and if you get a return pass inside …. Shoot from anywhere as Collins won’t stop it!

You're probably a better manager than Wayne though.

 

[Paxman II]

Just listened to Lampard's press interview. Again what a mess. A word salad from a guy who has nothing to say. The interviewer was leading him along and he fell into it each time. He never once made reference to what they are doing to rectify the last performance, as if he were just filling in the blanks. He may be a nice bloke and a legend to many of us but he does not sound like someone who knows what to do. He just doesn't seem to be in command of anything. You don't just nod and agree with the interviewer on every point? I take no pleasure in having a go at him, but I'm not getting filled with optimism atm.

 

[Matt smith]

1-2 Plymouth

haven’t won away in ages

obviously going to happen against us

 

[David O'Day]

Why would you have Binks starting?

because there's a player in him somewhere and he's better than kitching

Press conferences are largely fluff and have 0 meaning for the team.

Playing along, giving them soundbites and not saying anything stupid is the best thing to do for everyone.

No one saying he should but his interviews are abismal to say the least. He should at least mention they are working on the frailties in defence and what we are trying to address. There was just nothing there.
