We call Downs the new Ali Dia - but with less enthusiasm.
Great chance yesterday to get us back to 1-1 but missed the target.
Ironically Goztepe beat Besiktas 3-0 on Friday night and our striker Juan, scored the 1st goal. |

Still (allegedly) got all the players he wanted in the transfer window, so there really is no excuse. We should now be playing the way he wants, with his players.
What we actually get is Martinesque tippy tappy possession based fannying around until we get closed down and then it is hoofed towards a small or incapable front man and we lose possession. Repeat......
Yesterday we showed glimpses of what we can do with some good possession and passing, but as is often the case, we are our own worst enemies and engineered our own downfall. Goals change games. We gifted Hull 2, if not all 3 goals, with piss poor keeping and defending. At the other end, we missed our best chance to get back to 1-1, in fact Downs didn't even hit the target. I think Archer would have done better with that chance, but he didn't get any service like that against the skates and got dropped. When we did start creating chances, the damage had already been done and Hull were sitting back anyway.
As for Robinson and a few of the other now fringe players, they will probably get baptism of fire stating berths on Tuesday night !! |

3. trying to gain kudos for winning the League 2 title is frankly pathetic. We have never played in that league and it's highly embarrassing that a club of your supposed size has spent FOUR seasons in the 4th tier this century.
4. Westwood is actually 62 years old. (born April 14th 1963, according to Wiki). It claims he has 60 Pompey related tattoos. |

He is definitely improving, but apart from his heroics at the other end v Preston, has done little to fill the fans with confidence.
He produced a great save v Wrexham, that ultimately helped us win the game, but he was a little suspect position wise for both goals v Watford and Stoke.
Would have preferred it if we had got the Stoke 'keeper in during the window, instead of the Norwich reserve, so he could at least challenge Baz for the first team starting berth. |

Perhaps you should have also quoted the bit when he was asked about not getting another striker in before the transfer window shut and replying that it was ok and that we didn't need one !! |

There is always the loan system for them, or perhaps some of the other leagues such as Turkey, where the window is still open. |

A bit like Bally with us and them, Paul Lambert managed Norwich and then Ipswich.
There must be a few players too - Brandon Williams and Andy Marshall spring to mind. |

Just like the new Ali Dia (Downs) when Matsuki scored his wonder strike at Norwich. He didn't even celebrate, smile or rush to congratulate him - whereas the reaction of Charles was totally opposite !! Take a look at the body language of both !! |

As per a precious thread, Smallbone is currently out injured.
....not that he would offer anything different to the current slow, one dimensional,central midfield pairing that is Downes and Charles. |

A great price !!
Hopefully it is all up front.
Let's face it, we aren't going to be getting much in add ons, If they are based on appearances and other performance related parameters. |

I question why we even signed Quarshie.
He has made plenty of (mostly unforced) errors and could pass better and react a bit more quickly, so is definitely a work in progress.
Is he a direct replacement for Bednarek ? (we are already top heavy in CBs)
Or just another signing for his potential ?
Unless we are going to lose a couple more CBs this window, I can't see the point of signing him. (Bella-Kotchap needs to go asap !!)
I would rather we used Sanda and got him up to speed. At the end of last season he had a couple of cameos, looked eager, comfortable on the ball and was actually trying to organise the back line - which is something that has been missing from our defence since the days of Fonte and VVD. |

Hoping to arrive around 6pm.
Anyone recommend a place to park and a watering hole not too far from the ground ?

He was poor at WBA
His stint there was basically over once Mowbray (who signed him) got the sack. |
