I've watched the replay of the save onto the post a few times now which shows how good it was. I can't remember watching replays of a single Bazunu save.

It took me a while to warm to him but I think I prefer him to whispering Dave now. He can be quite critical but most of the time the stuff he points out is quite insightful. You're right that he's better at the analysis side rather than the passionate prose in the heat of the moment. Alongside Adam I quite like him.

Absolutely. As shit as some of the performances and players have been this season, there's no doubt in my mind that had we played that formation and kept it simple from the start if the season we'd be in the playoffs. Instead we've wasted the season trying a nonsensical system that has barely worked all year.

That's the major positive for me. Not a coincidence either that the defence look better with a leader and communicator making them more of a unit. Like you say Bree decent too. Finally getting some solid championship players playing in their best positions and doing simple things well. So frustrating that it's taken so much of the season and so many wasted games and points to do the simple things.

A solid win. Not spectacular like some are suggesting but the sort of game we would have lost earlier in the season.

We've changed one player. Imo we would have been able to play it successfully without James Bree. Clearly it help having him but the idea that we refused to changed formation simply because we didn't have Bree is a mad opinion. Plenty of people also said that our poor performances 'had nothing to do with the formation' which is clearly bollocks.

Limped off after Pompey.

People were calling for a change of formation for ages. We persisted with three at the back and it was at least partly responsible for throwing away so many game this season and leaving us miles away from the playoffs. Of course those saying we couldn't play it were going to get some stick when we changed formation and inevitably looked better.

Coming off an injury it makes sense.

Sure pal. I'll be sure to bring it up the next time we play better than we did with three at the back without Bree. The idea that Bree is the sole reason that we can play four at the back is a nonsense. Even if that were true, the club is entirely at fault for binning him off in the summer.

Lol. No evidence at all that we couldn't have played a different formation without Bree.

What was the name of the PR agency who Lowe hired to post on here?

It's just bloody weird. He's clearly good enough to at least be backup to Scienza and take the pressure off him to play every game. There must have been a big row or something.

Not quite record given Luton but I take your point.

Agreed. You'd be better off picking us up for a song in a couple of years.

Hence the hope.

Hope he's alluding to something.

TBF pretty much the only thing Sports Republic have been good at is extracting decent value from the player sales.

Is selling Edwards any worse than selling Ballard?

Meh. Almost everything the club does it a pretty baffling way to run things. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if THB goes but at least if Armstrong and THB go that's some of the pus lanced from the boil. Just Stephens, Aribo, Edozie, Downes and Wood to go.

Agreed. Can't believe the tax payer will have to pay for him. Hopefully gets a shiv in the showers.

Absolutely no idea. Still said he was injured but then reports came out that he's been fit all year. Even if we didn't want him long term you'd think we'd have been playing him to keep his value up.

Good news. I want the cancer removed -both players and the management. Some short term pain for long term gain

Incorrect. Supporting BDS is the extremist bit.
