Looked offside to me and on replay. Regardless, what else did he do? He's never been prolific before and I've seen nothing that makes me think he's suddenly going to become so. Both AA and Stewart have at least been so, if in small sample sizes in Stewart's case. It's actually more of a shame that we've got 4 to choose from, none of which are actually any good anymore/ever have been. I think Stewart + AA is a better option than Archer or AA leading the line.

I mean I agree, he's been an absolute liability. I'm basing it off what I've seen so far this season. I cannot watch another fucking moment of AA as a no 9, Archer is still hit and miss (great first half yesterday, offside liability second) and whilst Stewart's scoring stats do need to improve, so does the opportunity to do so. Downes looked great briefly in pre-season and more like a conference player since. It's not the best stable to pick from mind. Just IMO you get more out of AA on the left and one bigger man up front if our game plan is to cross it tons.

I actually think Stewart is our best bet (I know I've said it before). I'm unconvinced by Archer, and if we're looking for crosses into the middle, AA and Archer are weaker options I've also actually been impressed with Stewart's work with the ball when not in the box. Albeit in small cameos.

Again, not unreasonable but why is it always us? Why do we have to wait until this, that and the other. Why can't we find a way? I still think we're using fairly average excuses. It's a big gap already and we have started worse than under Russell

Is that unreasonable? He's been here all pre-season, appears to have learnt nothing from that time, and has now continued that on to vital games. We're already 7 points behind Boro.

I can be onboard with this, and I HAD nothing against him, but it's fucking boring being the team that gives up the first handful of games each season because of another excuse. And let's be clear, it's an excuse. He's been unimpressive so far. Let's see how he changes it, but we're below Pompey now. That's not a good look considering we've played pony in every single game so far

He has been awful so far though 😂

He's spouting bollocks then. I don't like Bazunu at all, but that was a foul all day long.

FFS why haven't we signed anyone in 15 minutes?

Aged like out of date milk 🤣

The Archer we bought is the same cart horse as the one on the pitch. He's another 'always been terd thus still is terd' which appears to be our transfer strategy.

Charles has been pretty good I think, but Downes is a shadow of the player who played for us last time we were in the championship. Also is Clinton Baptiste commentating on Sky? "Y'alright. I'm getting the word...."

He really is pony

That's that fucked then

It's almost like you can have a civil conversation on here. Who knew. Good summary that. 👏

Couldn't agree more. Creativity obviously is an issue but it's compounded by having a 4ft Gnome playing up front. I love AA on the left, he's great, but it's night and day with him playing there Vs no9

I don't understand why we've reverted to a 3 at the back having not done it in preseason though, I'd like to understand why we're suddenly doing it. I agree we looked shite in both formations but I think we looked marginally better in a 4 and less overrun in midfield. I also don't love a defensive line up when you're at home especially against Wrexham...(Or anyone really if we're meant to be league favourites). It's all a bit of a mess that Still hasn't sorted out despite a full pre season. And I think that's everyone's issue... That and fucking playing AA as a sole no 9

Got two, 1 yard, tap ins in his first two games, and fell over twice. He's never been a goal scorer and nothing to suggest he's suddenly going to become one. He's looking like a Carillo MK2. His service is dog shit, but I think Stewart, as awful as he is also, is probably the better bet. But fuck me it's a terrible field to choose from. I think if you play AA on the left with either of the two above you might get a better tune, but it's not gonna be enough so gotta hope you're getting goals from the rest of the squad 😬

I'm splitting hairs but that was the 5th game in. We were better in the games in the run up to that drawing 1 and winning 3. But that's besides my overriding point and that this is still shit football. And Still isn't helping himself.

He was on for two minutes 10 minutes and was absolutely the signing we didn't need. Again.

We looked better under him at the beginning of his stint than we do under this so called defensive artist.

He has a say in recruitment anyone thinking otherwise is too wrapped up in the spreadsheet nonsense. He's not the single and sole decider but he has a significant say. It's too early, sure. But he needs to figure out a better line up and formation, and stop making life difficult on himself by playing a terrible formation (not having wingers isn't an excuse) with terrible personnel in those positions. AA has never ever been a good sole number 9, yet here is week in and out doing the sum of fuck all to advance our attacking capabilities. Also I think anyone expecting us to sign 4 or 5 players in the remaining window (which is what we need) is going to be disappointed. It'll be a bunch of duds. Still, thank fuck we got Roerslev.

He's getting a second. Doesn't mean that's not correct. The games have been shit, the recruitment terrible and the line up and team selections shit. It is too early agreed but we can't waste TOO much time in any league.

So far Still has been a complete mess. Shite pre-season, scatter gun transfers and lucky in all 3 matches. Shit line up and personnel.
