Great team performance yesterday, with some lovely goals. Downes is in the form of his life, edged Motm for me. Top without the points deduction.

I see Ballard scored again tonight, fucking madness getting rid of him for some of the dross we have brought in instead. We are really going to struggle when the likes of Scienza, Azaz and Larin have an off night.

That Miller for Hull has gone Birmingham on loan I hear on commentary. He would have been a good option, scored a Premier league winner at the weekend and a mate for Larin.

That bench just proves we need a lot more in the forward areas.

With no other options coming in other than Abbot, and Edozie and Archer possibly off, we are far too light going forward. Scienza is always likely to get smashed and Dobbin looks a work in progress. I also feel we could use the loan market a lot better than we are doing currently. Under Martin we had plenty of useful loans, and last January they saved our season with Peretz and Larin. A Scienza injury away from being left massively short for me.

Come on, be realistic. Sterling is going to prison, and Zaha would never happen with JWP back.

By comparison Sam Edozie has started 2 league games in 2 years. Granted, I thought March may have played more but he was half useful for Brighton in the Prem a few seasons ago, not bad on a free, with limited time left to find a replacement.

Edozie should have been shipped a month ago, with Solly March already playing as a replacement.

So with Abbot coming in, I guess all that remains to be seen is whether Ramsdale and Archer go?

Spors giving the value on and off the pitch. It’s a rinse and repeat of the Romeu, Lallana and Walcott signings all over again. I do not give a shit how players perform off the pitch.

Have people not learnt from the Walcott, Lallanna and Romeu disasters that signing previous players doesn’t work yet? JWP would be a complete waste of a signing. Sports Republic needed to hit the ground running this window, more so than any other considering the points deduction and black cloud over the cheat in the dugout. Yet here we are in the final week of the window needing a complete overhaul still. Defeat on Saturday and we are already 10 points behind Millwall. Not attracting sod all then.

Perfect outcome. Out the pointless cup and the board can’t deny we need a better squad after that. West Ham only tried for 45 minutes.

Villa will be utter shite in comparison to recent years if they think THB is the answer. He would get smashed to pieces in the Champions League.

Shambles here, not eligible even though I have membership plus and have purchased. Ringing up currently. Got the ticket now, but again can’t be used as one of the eligible games. Despite being told yesterday and previously you could.

Complete shambles. Found the Middlesbrough one in the end, and got that complimentary ticket but wouldn’t allow me to get my lads (who is also a member plus) complimentary, so had to pay for him.

I don’t even seem to be able to get Middlesbrough tickets on mine?

Not seen that. I specifically called and asked as I was going to use it for Pompey and Boro for me and my son. They said any game counted.

How does the discount on the saints merchandise work? Can’t say I can see anything showing it despite having membership plus.

I rang them yesterday to ask that, specifically I asked if it would include Portsmouth and Middlesbrough, lad told me yes, hence my purchase. I will be pissed off if not as no value if not using it on cat a games.

I was just about to purchase the plus for myself and the nipper, combining it with say Pompey and Boro games looked quite good value. I read it as though the child also gets the two free games?

Far better than the shambles of 48 and third place crap. 64 is better. Might need to remortgage though to do the sticker album in 2030.

Piss poor from Stewart and his representatives. He obviously has a club lined up already, no chance would they risk him playing competitive football for Scotland without an employer.

Best bit of this is surely Bazunu is off?

That’s an outstanding signing. Best keeper we have had since Niemi. First step towards recovery, and it’s a big one! Will be worth 10 points next season easily.
