    Partridge had a hell of a lot more end product and at least as much skill, probably more. 4 goals in 23 at Championship level, including some screamers, as opposed to 2 in 17a division lower (including cup) with a big slice of inept goalkeeping contributing. Partridge would have gone a lot...

    Evans

    Doesn't always work, either. He's been sacked a lot and had a fair few flops and relegations as well as the promotions over the years. Ask Oldham, Bury and Leeds fans what they think of him, for example. And you can't like a man after seeing this: I think that's from a much longer clip that...

    Your January transfer window

    I wonder if our rehab is up to scratch? I fondly remember one 90's relegation battle season, all but writing us off...then suddenly SSN had pictures of "a surprise return to training by Noel Whelan", who had been out for ages, and sure enough he played the next game and most of the rest of the...

    Your January transfer window

    Starting to worry about these (and even more so Andreu and to some extent Kelly) now. I know they were bad knocks, but it's nearly December now and none of them look anywhere near. Will they be this season, or ever?

    Conor Chaplin

    T He scored twice when starting against both Crawley and Maidenhead. 4 Goals in 6 starts, 2 goals in 23 sub appearances last season. Of those sub goals, one, against Walsall, was when he came on at half time. If the stats suggest anything, it's that he's far more effective when starting than...

    Actually, Ponticelli had a better goals to minute ratio than McNulty last season!

    Conor Chaplin

    Probably a year or two ahead of him in his development but I did post on here around the time of his signing, "Is Chaplin to Pompey what Ponticelli is to us?".

    Conor Chaplin

    I don't think anyone is calling for him to go totally gung-ho and play all out attack, just to give more creative freedom and tweak things so we are a bit more offensive. The same thing happened last season and it led to us playing our best football of the season and getting promoted (which...

    Still beloved in Rugby for his time there, goal machine in the Jimmy Knox era.

    Ah I loved him cos I was a kid at the time. Thought he was the next big thing. Went to Blackburn in a big money move and did OK but then they bought Shearer et al. Went to Chelsea and never got a game, and ended up as a bit of a Grimsby stalwart, playing as often in defence as up front. He was...

    Not Thommo, but fun fact in the style of the "David Smith living with yer nan" one: my mum was in a post natal clinic after me at the same time as Gary's wife, which my dad was totally chuffed about as he was his favourite player at the time.

    Nope, but your thinking isn't totally flawed....

    Just for fun: name that player.....

    Correct, well done! Hard one to google that, you either knew it from the 80's or you didn't. Another one, then: striker who had an incredible career record of 10 goals in 8 starts for us in the League Cup.
