Guy behind me at Watford kept saying 'stop being arrogant' and he had a point. Our lads need to show they're the best and not think it just because they're one of the most expensive assembled squads. As it'll be a 'who's up for it?' game, Jack S, THB, Charles & Downes would be straight in to my team. Don't know why, but I also think Azaz, Fellows, Fraser & Archer would be psyched up.

That's exactly how I see him. Too much of a lightweight and although he's tall, he can't seem to head the ball. It's almost as if he doesn't want to ruin his fancy hair style. At the moment, I've got more faith in Stewart working out this season.

And QPR also sometimes played him as a defensive midfielder. Maybe he got more chance of getting in to the team in that role if there are injuries or Downes continues getting ill and Shea Charles builds up his yellow card tally.

So is the consensus a flat back 4 or keeping with the back 5 and two wing backs? Such an important game, I can see Will Still keeping with his recent formations. I liked Azaz'z contributions against Watford and I'm guessing Fellows will also be in the starting line up though don't know about the other recent acquisitions and how they'll fit in.

Wade G will be proud of you!

Think he got stopped from entering when he came to an England game at St Marys dressed in all his shit. Apparently even the Portsmouth fans are sick of him with that irritating bell and often coming in pissed and falling over everyone. Complete and utter knob.

Good to see the club isn't just selling the family silver, but they're also taking the dross to the car boot sale. BBD out on loan as well. Happy Days.

I also don't accept his reason that he's waiting for the right moment to change. Maybe it's his way of fitting Jack Stephens in to the team, but I agree, for someone who has a reputation for adapting to circumstances (which doesn't just mean throwing on all your forwards when you're 1-0 down), he seems pretty set in his way playing 5 at the back the whole time.

And they are miles too slow. There's an argument to put in Quarshie if you're doing 5 at the back because he's fast and can track back quickly; he gets his head on the ball and we shouldn't underestimate his long throw-ins. Just a pity he can't kick a football. Just watched the highlights. What was Will Still getting all wound out about at the end of the game?

He's a bit like marmite with our fans. I still like him. He covers a lot of ground (as does the contents of his bowels apparently!), breaks up opposition play, is usually in space to receive a pass and seems to have got over the needless yellow cards. In fact, I think he's already had a couple of good games for us this season. But he does need to find a new chef. What was it this time?

Sat down at half time saying Archer was having a good game, Azaz ok, Wee man was making a nuisance of himself and generally felt we were in control against a bang average Watford side. But there's almost an arrogance that's crept in to the team where they feel they're the big fish. They were actually quite sloppy in the second half. Of the subs, Matsuki came on and was good and Stewart seemed to get involved in his cameo but when Downs and AA came on together, you knew it wasn't going to end well.

For the first time in a while, actually looking forward to this game. Only Aziz of the new signings is ok to play tomorrow but just feel we're a club on the move at the moment - hopefully upwards!

That's exactly it. This team we're building (especially with today's additions) sound like solid Championship contenders, but all our premier league quality players are gone. Oh well, let's get promoted first then think about next year.

I'm hoping Archer and Stewart can do well together too. I would like to see them closer together than they were at Norwich but given who we've signed today, they won't have to go chasing balls out wide anymore and instead can work on the distribution coming to them.

Yes, he hasn't exactly lit up the games he's played this season. And it was noticeable he wasn't in the squad against Norwich so with hindsight, you could see he was off. Come to think of it, Adam Armstrong wasn't in the squad either. Here's hoping.

Yes, once a player asks to leave you lose respect for the player... Someone else can score a goal for me! Shit, we really haven't got many chants now!

And he's playing five at the back when they're 2-0 down! And Grimsby with their 4-4-2 have just had another goal disallowed. Will Still are you watching?

Been a total disappointment so far and haven't worked out what QPR fans saw in him. And that pushing stuff he does is intensely irritating. Yes he needs more games and it's odd if he goes so quickly, but we have enough centre backs at the moment.

And that's the market Spors and Still know. Hope it's not a case of the club have Dibling money burning a hole in their pockets so they need to spend it as quickly as possible. Remember the Van Dijk money went very quickly. However, Azaz looks a promising signing.

Totally agree. Was stretching it a bit for Norwich to be part of a southern draw but good that we filled our allocation and from the TV, the support sounded very good. Watched the game on TV and thought there were a lot of positives to take from it:- Archer's finish was excellent and his all round game was more on it than we've seen before. When you pay Euro 3m for a 6ft 5" lightning fast central defender you're not going to get a world beater, but Quarshie headers the ball well and seemed confident in defence. In addition to his strike, Matsuki also looked very confident and competent.

He's given these two a chance tonight, so let's hope there's some understanding between them and they play off each other. Of all our crap forwards, this is my main hope for things to sort of work up front.

Mentioned it before but without wanting to sound panicy, it does concern me that we don't have much of a midfield except Charles and Downes. He's playing those two again because that's all we've got. If either get injured/acquire too many yellow cards, we are properly screwed.

Problem is, that's his pond where he goes fishing and our scouts don't seem to find anyone else. Downs is Sekou Mara in disguise and Quashie I like but he can't kick a football.

Rumours are £42m. For someone with one year left on his contract and who cost us nothing, can't argue with that and it doesn't sound like scurrying back to me. Big question is what we do with the money. A winger? An attacker? £10m buys a lot in the championship.

I think he will do fine too. A week ago after the Ipswich game many posters were positive about our play and one loss and it's a calamity. Sure he has to realise Adam Armstrong can't play up front on his own. Sure he needs to change formations. But apparently Saints have created more chances in the first three games than any other team...
