Reply | According To Tonda Armstrong Is Out Because
at 16:57 31 Jan 2026
Why do clubs put up smokescreen for players that are leaving.
It doesn't fool any of us.
We might be bringing Brereton Diaz back from loan to Derby to replace AA.
Despite him having a torrid time with us last season he's found some form at Derby & he wouldn't cost us anything.
We had a result getting James Bree back. |

We actually looked like a team today.
Playing with just 2 ctr backs & conventional full backs (who's priority is to defend the flanks) is working for us.
We didn't have a weak link today even Slack Jack played really well.
Peretz is still a bit rusty but what I like is that he's loud & communicating with his defence.
The players are starting to look as they are enjoying it, haven't seen too much of that lately. |

Thread | Brereton Diaz scores again for Derby.
at 20:44 30 Jan 2026
Brereton Diaz has just scored again for Derby.
He's doing really well there & in this match he's been given the incredible rating of 9.6 for his first half performance.
He couldn't cut it in the Premier lge but he is proven again that he's more than a capable Championship player.

You might not have wanted him back ( nor would I) but he was a good servant to our club despite his deficiencies.
He cost us nothing & we sold him for 35M.
So I for one wish him the best, he's an honest hard working pro unlike many others. |

Thread | What's happened to Edozie
at 15:32 28 Jan 2026
I though the club said a few weeks ago that Edozie was back in full training.
If that's the case surely he's worth a try if Leo doesn't make it.
Edozie can at least take players on & get round the back of defences.
If we don't intend to use him then he surely must leave in this window. |

No good having quality if you don't have good attitude & fitness.
TB undoubtedly has ability but he must apply himself better & work harder.
A few years ago gifted players could get away with not being 100% fit.
But the game has changed & now even the most gifted players can't get by if they are not full committed & fit.
They are athletes now unlike many past players. |

Last time Leo had a groin problem 5 yrs ago he was out of action for 66 days & missed 11 matches.
Let's just hope that this is not the same injury we cannot afford to lose him long term. |

Reply | We have more chance of going up now than next season
at 13:24 27 Jan 2026
We've made just one signing in this window ( apart from Bree coming back off loan).
And it was a typical SR gamble, we've got Peretz on loan, he's totally unproven & possible Inferior to both Baz & Macca.
I wouldn't bet against Macca coming back in at some stage & replacing Peretz.
SR have mastered the art of replacing half decent players with rubbish.
But providing it saves us money SR are happy, we know that their philosophy is to make money & not winning football matches.
A very, very short sighted plan & doomed to fail. |

Not surprising that Leo didn't have many touches because just for once we were lumping the ball forward & he had no chance of getting involved.
But compare him to AA,
I can only remember him having two touches & that was the two chances that he fluffed.
I agree with you I thought Finn Azaz did OK, he was definitely our most creative player & offered what little quality there was in the game. |

Leo is not just an excellent footballer he's got character, & a sense of fun,
something most pro footballers lack. |

Word from the club is that Leo Scienze has a slight groin strain & early assessment suggest it's not too serious.
Will be assessed this week, let's hope he's back soon we really are dependant on him, he's been the only bright spot so far this season.
Come back soon Leo.

Give TE credit for including James Bree today because he was excellent.
Nice to see us playing with two conventional full backs & just two ctr backs we look much more solid playing that system. |

Thread | Bree straight back in for Pompey
at 10:56 25 Jan 2026
Strange decision.
We've brought James Bree back from his loan & stuck him straight back into the team against Pompey.
I can't work that one out.
Also Matsuki in for Fellows.
Thought perhaps Romeu would have been involved todayhe would have relished the battle.

What they say in a press conference isn't necessarily what they do on match day.
He'll need to make sure that he picks players with BOTTLE because they'll need plenty of that at Fratton Park. |

Not sure about that.
TE keeps telling us that he has to keep making changes if they are playing 3 games in a week,
(i personally don't understand why pro footballers cannot play 3 games in a week, I used to play 3 games most weekends).
I got a horrible feeling that he'll panic & revert back to 3 ctr backs but hope I'm wrong. |

I always respect your comments & normally agree with most of your posts.
But on this occasion I will beg to differ, RF did do well for us when he first came but has offered very little this season.
He had a problem with his attitude under Eddie Howe & was forced to train with the u21's for a long period before he came to us.
We know that currently we have a culture problem at the club & can I'll afford to have players causing problems in the dressing room.
We will never know exactly what goes on behind closed dressing room doors & can only guess at it based on the very limited information that goes public.
But one thing if for sure RF was not going to get any better st his age so I wish him all the best but we will not miss him. |

Thread | Slack Jack is back
at 18:35 21 Jan 2026
Breathe easy guys.
Slack Jack is back for tonight's match.
But it does look as if TE has succumbed to using just 2 ctr backs.
We've all been asking for that just a shame that Slack is one of them.
But let's hope it works.

They don't have better players than us but they have a much better manager / Coach (whatever you call them) & they are more Committed & Motivated
That makes the difference between winning & losing.
I hate to say it but I think it'll be another humiliating home defeat. |
