We're going down for sure - that's nailed on. It's now all about beating Derby's 2007-08 eleven-point total and, thanks to today, one more win from somewhere will do it! |

If Juric pulls this off after these changes, I will be astonished! |

A hectic first half to say the least.
Ipswich are quick on the counter attack which is causing us problems. I know we must win this game no matter what & have to throw bodies forward, but christ they look quick on the counter. Good couple of saves from Ramsdale has kept us in it though.
We're lumping long balls to Tall Paul in the hope that he can hold play up and get support around him. I reckon set pieces are probably our best bet to score again - a header from a corner by Tall Paul will do!
I like our wide play today from KWP and Welington.
Not getting too carried away. With Saints, nothing is ever straightforward... and our defence still worries me., but COYS! |

I see Everton are about to sign Charlie Alcaraz on loan for the rest of the season with an option to buy.
Moyes must see something in him that Russel Martin didn't... like he drives forwards for example & refused to play the ball backwards. |

He's out with a broken heart. He's taken Russel Martin's sacking terribly by all accounts.
At least it'll also give his rectum time to heal. |

Maybe our old friend Rupert Lowe has got a point, re; anti woke.
We can't have HMS Agincourt join our new fleet of submarines... for fear of upsetting the French! 
So, HMS Achilles it is then.

Their next two games are third-placed Burnley at home & then second-placed Sheff United away.
The Pompey fellas that I've known for donkey's years echo us in the "Why are both our teams so sh1t?" stakes this season. It's even more frustrating that the two South Coast teams we're both sandwiched in between, Brighton and Bournemouth, are both having very good seasons - particularly Bournemouth.
The only single, small, bright light on the horizon for Saints, amongst all the sh1t of this season, will be the two derby matches next season home & away - providing Pompey manage to avoid relegation of course. I can't understand how any self-respecting 'scummah' wouldn't be looking forward to that! |

Forest, having narrowly avoided the drop last season, had a vast, bloated squad which they had to thin out during the Summer... which they did.
What they now have are no big stars or Charlie big-bollix types. They have good, honest, capable players all over the pitch & a very good manager in Nuno Espírito Santo who gets the very best out of them and makes them work hard & train hard, by all accounts. He also plays the game the way it should be played.
We have none of the above... except the bloated, sub-standard squad part. |

Feyenoord 3 Bayern Munich 0 in the Champions League tonight.
Feyenoord had 20% possession with Bayern 80%.
Just goes to show (are you listening Russell Martin?)... what a load of bollocks all this possession based crap is after all. It's what you DO with the ball that matters. |

I think with Albert Grønbæk and Mateus Fernandes as our attacking midfield duo, we should have a bit more about us in the middle of the park. Fernandes, who's only 20 lets not forget, is looking better with each passing game. He's got a good engine on him too for someone that young. Grønbæk looks/sounds decent and at 23, is a good age too with plenty of experience already (albeit only a loan for now).
We just need a striker, a good striker, that can and will score goals. I'm hoping that SR manage to pluck one from somewhere who's surplus to requirements at a big European club say. Everyone from mid-PL table downwards is looking for the same of course but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that SR, somehow, some way, manage to pull a rabbit out of the hat! |
