Yeah would be hard to disagree Clint
Yeah would be hard to disagree ClintStarting to believe we're not underperforming, rather the run we went on lastseason was a massive case of over performing.
Effectively we had Wright playing closer to Simms last season. Wright was a left inside forward whereas EMC is much wider."Playing to Simms strengths" what are they then?
I think he would have taken “that” shot with his “wrong” foot."Playing to Simms strengths" what are they then?
yeah because the window isn't open yetNo real evidence that his recruitment will make the world of difference.
Exactly, WBA were nothing special but just turned up and won like the majority have against usIt wasn't all bad tonight, lots of good points. WBA looked nothing special. They got lucky with the first goal massive deflection.
We did have Simms and Bassette up frontEffectively we had Wright playing closer to Simms last season. Wright was a left inside forward whereas EMC is much wider.
I’d liked to have seen Simms and Norm up top for a bit tonight. (Maybe try Norm in place of EMC or Saka)
I think we have to play Wright (when fit) and Simms again as per last season - 40 goals!
I’d play Torp that’s for sureThink I would give Torp and Allen a game against Hull, rather than Eccles and Sheaf.
Are you a fortune teller?No real evidence that his recruitment will make the world of difference.
Theyre really are not an accurate pass is to feet not in the vicinity of!It’s just slow obvious play. Ok they do some lovely accurate passes to each other and the pass accuracy statistic (excluding Milan) this evening must be something to be proud of but…..even watching at home you know which player the ball is going to and who it will go to afterwards…..and did I say it’s such slow play.
Sorry meant start up front - a half maybe to see if there’s a partnership there or not.We did have Simms and Bassette up front
He played a pass in the second half that was genuinely atrocious with so much timeThe way he's playing right now, I wouldn't be too unhappy if we sold Ben Sheaf for £3.12.
It's like he's a different player.
That was down to suddenly changing tactics which teams took a while to adapt to, combined with the COH purple patch.Starting to believe we're not underperforming, rather the run we went on lastseason was a massive case of over performing.

That's a very weird takeUnfortunately what I was saying a few weeks back. Since the Play Off final, we've had a 3 month period where we were excellent but besides that it's been poor. The couple of exciting wins against Leeds and Wolves have done a good job in hiding it.
It’s very trueThat's a very weird take
You can't just totally erase 4 months of the season because it fits a stupid argument .It’s very true
rubbish start of season
brilliant November to feb
poor end
poor all this season
We have to start Torp and Rudoni as pairing against Hull and Pompey .3 very winnable games next. Anything less than 6 points would be extremely disapointing
Doubtful... There's a shitload of christmas gear that has come through last minute that he will have to model.Hoping to see Raphael on the bench soon too
He’s a box player; needs to have service
Sorry but that guy has been in football 6 or 7 year under many coaches and manager and still cannot do the basic thing of trapping a ball."Playing to Simms strengths" what are they then?
If I were a pro and training every day, I'd notice there were things like that I wasn't good at and spend extra time improving. Simms with his trapping, Sheaf with his shooting, Bassette using his right foot.Sorry but that guy has been in football 6 or 7 year under many coaches and manager and still cannot do the basic thing of trapping a ball.
You have to have control over it he hasn't ,more than once tonight when he come on tried to control it and gifted to WBA.
Think last year he did what many players do start well and teams work on your flaws and then your not the same second season.

We beat Leicester , Leeds , Wolves and other top sides .
Was it all a fluke ?.
Jeez
It was Robins that was responsible for bringing them to the club . King can only have formed that opinion based on what he had been told by Robins and Austin as he has freely admitted that he didn't know much about footballIt was Doug King who said this squad was top 6.
Exactly this.Can’t remember the last time a shot at our goal was actually saved by a keeper. Collins didn’t have anything to do but still conceded 2! None of them were his fault-but the difference between the 2 keepers was plain for all to see tonight. Palmers handling was good and at times was off his line as quick as a shot to snuff out any threat.
We had the better chances but tomorrow’s papers will all say 2-0 and that’s all that matters unfortunately.
He couldn’t have saved it. Blaming him for it is absurd.Exactly this.
You say none were his fault, but a Gunn/Patterson/Palmer/Cooper, saves shots like the second.
Any of those in our goal and we'd be numerous points better off.
As I have posted - 12 of the last 14 shots on target against us have been goals.
Just ridiculous.
Collins doesn't save it, no... Correct.He couldn’t have saved it. Blaming him for it is absurd.
It’s hit hard and low into the corner. Something no player we have except Wright knows how to do.Collins doesn't save it, no... Correct.
But there are other keepers in this division that do.
As with many of the goals we have conceded in this run of 12 from 14 shots going in.
