I've got this feeling it's already a done deal and they will announce it next week.

The Aribo sub was a stinker though. There's no denying that.

He was a bit out muscled to be honest. I think we really missed Charles today.

Well it certainly looks that way from how he's played since coming back in under Eckert. You've got players like Adams and KWP (recent examples) who knew they would be leaving but still put in 100% for the club. Then you've got ones like Aribo who just can't be arsed.

I said it previously at QPR but why oh why are we bringing a lethargic Aribo on ahead of an energetic Matsuki in a game where we need lots of energy. Absolutely baffling.

Agree. It was his biggest test so far and failed it unfortunately. Let's hope we bounce back next weekend.

This reminded me of the QPR away game except we weren't as lucky this time. Aribo sub killed us - a blight on Tondas copybook.

Can't begin to explain how poor Ryan Manning is at defending

Robinson really poor so far

Crazy to think we could be 3 points off 2nd if we win.

Yeah, much more satisfaction in Pompey losing every game possible.

Second place is definitely up for grabs. It would take a major cock up from Coventry to not win the league from this position but Leicester tried their best to from a similar position 2 years ago, so you never know.

I would normally say don't be so silly but I think it's clear there are some issues with Downes. Totally ridiculous challenges knowing you're a yellow away from suspension.

Watched the majority and can't say I was impressed by them at all. Yes they improved in the second half but play like we have been and it'll be another win. It'll be interesting to see their game plan against us. Do they put men behind the ball or press us? Can't imagine it'll be the latter given how we took Charlton apart last weekend.

Yep. £6.5m is a lot to throw away in this division. Tbf the rest of the signings have been decent enough but we really needed the CF one to be a hit and it's been the complete opposite.

Not even an apology. Not a good look at all. Bin this guy off in January please.

Pretty sure TE said he's a couple of weeks away. Imagine he'll be back just in time for the Christmas period.

Very similar players. Manning is better in a 3-5-2 or whatever as there's less defending to do. I do think he stands off players because he knows he's not very fast. Either that or he just doesn't know how to defend. Having said that he's proving a real threat going forwards so it's swings and roundabouts.

You've got to feel for him. Comes off the bench, plays well and scores an absolute worldy then hasn't seen a minute since.

Baz; Quarshie, Wood, THB; Manning, Bragg, Jander, Fellows; Scienza, Azaz, Armstrong. Hopefully we'll finally see Romeu on the bench.

Not sure why we've got to put Aribo in the bench ahead of him. Aribo doesn't look interested at all and seems very slow on the ball.

It's obvious what he's going to do but the opposition can't stop him.

Well Leo has spoken. Give the man what he wants.

A point at least away at Millwall and surely he will get it. It's just inevitable though that we will appoint him permanently and start losing.

Leicester totally shut up shop so an unsurprisingly boring second half. No need to break sweat for us given the amount of games coming up. Perfect evening.
