He's always had superb technique. Interesting that he's been playing in a more advanced role for Charlton in the past couple of weeks. I suspect they'll try and buy him permanently when his loan expires as we've just got too many options here already for him to force his way back in with us.

Onwards we go then. I think most would have taken 4 points combined from Sheff Utd and this one beforehand but now we have a win, it would be a big disapointment to not follow it Tuesday's success with another here. Derby just 1 win in their opening 8. Eustace sides are not pretty to play against but we should have the confidence and ability now to kick on and beat them. Potential only change to the team might be Fraser in for Azaz. 2-0 Saints.

Putting aside the goals, the bit I was most pleased with is that he was putting himself about and being much more of a physcial presence than he has done previously. He should be the striker that suits Still's system more than any other we have, it's just how we manage his minutes from here on.

Not pretty at all and rode our luck but who cares. Time to kick on.

I don't think he's a total write-off so early on but he's not adapting to the physicality of the English game. When your first touch is so poor you need to be able to hold off defenders but like Stewart, it's frustrating how he's not using his size to his advantage at all. Suspect he'll be shipped out on loan in January back to Germany.

Reality is that it'll be a mixture of the two. If it's a switch to a back 5 (which wouldn't surprise me as Boro play that system so it would match them up), Wood should come in and Jelert too as RWB who offers more going forward than Mads. Downs shouldn't be making the squad after the start he's made. Not what I'd go for but suspect it will be: --------------------Baz--------------------- ------THB--------Wood------Stephens----- -Jelert------Charles--Downes-----Manning- -------------Armstrong---Fraser------------ ------------------Archer--------------------

Playing the league leaders who have won 5/6. Expectations low. Will it be like Leeds at home from a couple of years ago or yet more misery? Feels like Armstrong has done enough to get a start up top with Archer and perhaps Wood and Jelert will get the nod too after their Liverpool showings. Beyond that, who knows.

Well he's right. Played well but missed a sitter to go 1-0 up, gifted it to them 30 seconds later and then switch off for their second goal.

The Championship quite possibly

Matt Donohue is referee. Took charge of us 3 times in promotion season 2 years ago - 1 win (Leeds away on final day), 1 draw (Middlesbrough home) and 1 loss (Bristol City away). He's done Pompey 5 times in last 7 seasons and they haven't won any of them.

One thing that's certainly not a Portsmyth is their fans shotung "scummer" and jeering at the minute's silence for Ted Bates back in 2003. Cunts. Skip to 4 minutes on this and then watch the rest as a nice warm up for Sunday.

Don't forget them owing money to charities like St John Ambulance. Sorry for your passing. Here's hoping we do it for your dad.

Worth adding in Jelert who has played in one of the fiercest of them all for Galatasaray v Fenerbahce and several times for Copenhagen v Brondby.

Yep. I think Jander will eventually replace Downes but Still won't want to overload on the new lads for this one and a strong core of THB/Stephens/Downes/Charles with a lot of Championship know-how is required. Fraser is almost a definite to start too in my view for his experience and I can see it being on the right given his defensive work to help Mads nullify Murphy who is their biggest threat. I know people don't want us to think like that but the reality is that there has to be a balance and we can't go all guns blazing. A shift to 4-2-3-1 matches them up and is a positive, attacking change with a lot of strength on the bench as insurance if required or to see the game out/kill it off.

Genuinely never heard of the bloke.

He's sat in the McDonalds in Shirley waiting for the EFL to confim the move. Had a strawberry milkshake and a Big Tasty with bacon.

Most fouled player per game in the Bundesliga last season. So hopefully plenty drawn around the edge of the box for him and Manning to stand over and stick past the keeper!

No idea, just telling people to relax.

Relax…

Them down the road bringing in Conor Chaplin back on loan. Very good signing.

Paris is a shithole. That's the difference maker signing for me if (when) it's finalised. Still has the players at his disposal to deliver promotion so no excuses now to not achieve it.

A shame as he looks a brilliant player but will allow Fraser to play in his best position and have Robinson as his understudy so not all bad

Jander played in both of Nuerenberg's derbies v Furth last season. Won both games, 4-0 and 3-0. Got booked and 2 assists in the last one.

Will get the complimentary bit out the way. Mousinho is a great coach; Shaunessy and Poole have a decent partnership at CB and Murphy, Segecic and Bishop are good players for the level. Other than that: Cunts, especailly that stinky parasite with the bell. Going to take a while longer for us to get fully up to speed with all the comings and goings so we just have to find a way to win this. Go 4-2-3-1 to match them up and back our superior quality. ----------------------------------McCarthy--------------------------- ----Mads------------Stephens--------------THB---------Manning---- -------------------------Charles-----Jander/Downes---------------------------- ---Fellows-----------------------Azaz--------------------Fraser---- ---------------------------------Archer----------------------------- Will about 5 yellows each (Stephens, THB and Downes for us and Swift for them nailed on) so good luck to whoever is refereeing it. Going 1-1 - think they'll be street smart enough sadly to get something from it.
