    Coventry, arguably, were the best team last season by the very fact they went up as champions, however, I do think other teams had better players. When Coventry got a 3-3 draw at Fratton Park, even though they were down to 9 men and trailing 3-1, they showed the character and team spirit to get...

    I note that Coventry are finding things a bit tougher in the Championship, as you would expect. That's not sour grapes because I thought Coventry were one of the better sides we played last season and deserved to go up. Do any of you expect to be able to go back to your old stadium in the near...

    Jordy Hiwula

    Judging by comments on this forum it would suggest we haven't got the bargain of the season. I think Hiwula was signed because we were short of strikers before Ellis's injury so this is seen very much as a stop gap signing. Also I think that Jackett sees Hiwula as a player with pace that can...

    Match Thread Portsmouth vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 22nd Apr

    Hi Chaps, Interesting game today. I thought Coventry looked a really good side and I thought they done a really good job on Pompey, especially in the first half. Going a goal up in their very first attack meant Coventry were able to play the game which suited them, which was counter attacking...

    Are you happy with Chaplin, or is it a case of the 'jury's out' situation. I am sure he will score goals for you and I think you have landed a very good player in the making.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Portsmouth Match Thread - Tuesday 2nd Oct

    Chaplin can not play, that is a definite. It's a question we have been asking down here and it was answered yesterday by Mr Jackett himself who explained that as this is a loan transfer at the moment which becomes a full transfer in January. The player can not play against his parent club...

    No, no that is incorrect, the name of that alley is very respectfully called Specs Lane. It is true that there may be one or two dog faeces down there.

    Worst than Southampton, now that really is below the belt.

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    I know I said I probably would not post on your forum again but I saw your post with a quote from one of our more articulate supporters I had to. Some supporters, of all clubs, seem to think that players playing for their team should be as fanatical as them. They don't realise that professional...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    So you have got your man now then. He didn't look happy in that photo wearing a Coventry City shirt though did he? I expect it's because it just dawned on him that he will never play for his beloved Pompey again, but I am expecting to see him back as a supporter at some stage. Although I am...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Not too many headers but he scored one of the best headed goals I have ever seen last season (or the season before) when we played Wimbledon. A long ball was threaded through and Chaplin went for it with their defender and he flicked the ball over the defenders head and ran round him. As the...

    The noises from this end is that Chaplin will be gone from Pompey this week. Some supporters seem to be upset that he 'refused' to be in the squad because he didn't 'feel he was in the right place in his head'. Personally I think that most Pompey supporters sympathise with him but still don't...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    You are right most Pompey supporters want Chaplin to stay and to further astonish Pompey supporters is that Kenny Jackett has been using two strikers this season, as well as many games last season. This being the case we all know that Chaplin is best used in a strike partnership and it is widely...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Those results hide the truth really. We were so lucky to win against Luton, in fact we were lucky not to lose by quite a few goals. Kenny Jackett's idea of entertaining nearly 20000 supporters was to field a team containing 7 defensive outfield players and 3 forward thinking players. Midfield...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    This transfer saga has become more and more ridiculous as time drags on. On the one hand Kenny Jackett is doing the sensible thing from our clubs perspective by holding out until he can get a replacement for Chaplin but at the same time it is making you chaps curmudgeonous, and it is doing the...
