The thing that sticks out to me with Barnes is he seems to be playing at a slightly less chaotic pace. He seems a little more composed which is allowing his touch and passing to be more accurate and intelligent. He seemed to be 100 mile an hour, smash them and run, before but he’s changing into a cl...

Only managed to catch the second half so no ratings from me. But i thought I would just say, Barnes and Taylor were superb. McNally started the half tentative and wayward but grew into it and his leaps for headers and the covering run and tackle were superb

KlyBfc

Benson looked a little unhappy / frustrated at full time. Hopefully not got a niggle It fid coincide with Anas’s song being sung again, perhaps he doesn’t feel the same love from the stands (his song doesn’t get the constant renditions) , even though we all know it’s there.

Brilliant fan base. Had some good away days mingling in with the Pompey fans and loved a few visits to Fratton Park. Had some lads stay with us many moons ago before going to watch them at Old Trafford for a cup game and they likened their Pompey fan base as ‘like a northern town/side stuck in the s...

The lad at swansea which suits our style / way Jay plays is the lad Piroe but I’m not sure we have the money to prize him away. I’d take Martins though not sure he’d be good enough if we get promoted. If we just want a striker (different to Jay) I’d take a gamble on Stewart at Sunderland who’s stall...

KlyBfc

I thought it was noticeable last night when Jay came on how brownhill played a little more to the left and higher and Cullen started to drift right more and also pick up different pockets of space. That shift from first half where we seemed more rigid in the middle I felt really helped us control th...

Beyer 5 despite driving out with the ball well a few times, I thought his passing caused us lots of problems and that header back Please tell me your trolling? He was arguably our best player today and he is infact leasing the "vote for your man of the match" on this very website. He was excellent....

KlyBfc

Going with my head and not my heart. However that was a performance of real character (even if it lacked quality). But we’d have drawn that game earlier in the season. Muric 8 one particularly bad pass aside I thought he was very good. Roberts 7 (.5) THB 7 Beyer 5 despite driving out with the ball w...

KlyBfc

Won us the game tonight. Off his line quick to deal with Beyer’s awful header back and made an excellent save. Also good save from the header / foul in the first half and dealt with a few tricky balls into the box.

KlyBfc

Needs to be given time due to how long he’s had out. As pointed out above there were glimpses of what we can expect. You then need to consider the impact Anas had when he came in. We know he’s brilliant but he offered little because like first half we struggled to get the ball out to the wide man in...

With the quick turn around I’d be rotating a few and I’d go Muric Roberts THB Beyer Taylor Cork brownhill Bastien JBG. Barnes Tella V Swansea I’d then bring Cullen (at the expense of cork), matsen zaroury, benson and jay back in I think we need one of cork or Cullen always in midfield

The challenges on Cullen and Twine could both arguably have been red cards too. He was awful.

Corks wasn’t any better though either.

KlyBfc

I actually thought he was better than last time we had him 🙈 though it wasn’t hard. Today he evened out the foul on cork on the edge of their box with the one on Akpom on the edge of ours. He then evened out corks poor challenge with the one by Lenihan (though I thought that was slightly worse as he...

I think he would have really suited this system, with the service to a striker as we saw v Rovers infinitely better. But not comfortable with someone that could not get away quick enough once his injury was starting to make good progress. Felt he used the club and that may be understandable as I fe...

Despite being a fan who prefers Roberts to Vitinhio i too wouldn’t play him Sunday. I’d said on Saturday on the way down id have started him at sheff Utd but I was worried he’d not be full tilt coming derby game due to the World Cup and then like others saw him clearly pull out of a tackle on Saturd...

I thought JBG was the best of the starters on Wednesday, he’s also defensively more diligent. Matsen I believe played further forward some times for Coventry. Benson on the bench this week, but he most definitely would be starting our home games. Muric Roberts THB Beyer Taylor Cork Bastien (Cullen i...

If Cullen is fit then he probably has to start instead of Bastien

I’m not sure why others are struggling because I’m in the Jimmy Mac upper and can hear the songs clearly most matches. In fact, it’s far easier to hear in the Jimmy Mac than the Longside because of how the sound often travels out. . In block one of the longside upper (nearest the cfs) you hardly he...

Can’t answer for Skipton-Leeds, but I’m on the train from Leeds-Sheffield and it’s not been cancelled as of yet. According to the train website the decisions on which trains are running and which aren’t will be decided/ confirmed on Tuesday 1st November. I’d hoped to be able to get into Leeds on th...

A deserved three points but I wasn't at all convinced with the back 3. We seemed too deep and neither of the back 3 (or 5) seemed sure on whom was to challenge for which ball and it lead directly to the Pukki chance. On the whole though a very good night's work. I enjoyed the fact VK has reacted to...

Thought the other subs especially Roberts deserved a mention for helping us see that game out.

KlyBfc

He was the one (new signings) that was probably always going to need the most time. He’d move faster than expected at Oxford (from lg of Ireland to lg 1 starter) so to jump in standard again so quickly was always going to be tough for him. Hopefully we start to see a bit more of him as the season pr...

Have just arrived home in Newcastle at 7.30pm after dreadful replacement bus and metro ride. Amazed at the generally low marks on here, yes the 1st half was poor but 2nd was wonderful. I tried to balance out the 8s of the second half with the 4s of the first half. They were polar opposites after all.

KlyBfc

Was no more at fault for any goal today than anyone else at the back and certainly didn’t produce a performance worse than Vitinhio

Tough one to mark. As good as the second half was the first was atrocious.

I honestly don’t see the point in singling any individuals out. That was collectively pathetic.

I would make changes to shake them up get Bastien on in midfield atleast he has energy and desire.

Collectively excellent second half

That was awful.

Disagree on this in regards to Vitinho. He can be and should be closer to the winger he’s in no man’s land standing off the winger and doing that inside our own area is not acceptable and fundamentally cost us a goal. He doesn’t need to commit completely to a tackle and be really tight , he just nee...

Can’t blame THB tonight. Go back and look at that goal. Blame Squarely lies with Vitinho pathetic defending, no desire to close the cross down.

KlyBfc

Taylor has to play left back. The two we have brought in to play there are god awful defenders. Vitinho tonight just stand off and let’s that cross come in from inside our box under no pressure, absolutely scandalous. Similar happens v Cardiff on Saturday and on other occasions.

KlyBfc

We are good enough to go up. The league really isn’t that great is it. However what this side currently isn’t is good enough to stop up if they go up. We’d get absolutely hammered in many many games with how poor we can be as a defensive unit.

KlyBfc

He was awful last season. Dyche's refusal to drop him was one of our biggest problems. The problem last year wasn’t particularly Westwood like it wasn’t Brownhill, the issue was them both together. Too similar in that they both like to press and be busy. We simply didn’t see enough of Corks calmnes...

The whole team seemed to drop 15-20 yards deeper and allow Cardiff to attack, no idea why because we cannot defend.

That was awful. We are so soft. The subs were horrendous. Barnes zero help in holding the ball up and his movement is pathetic. Benson was poor. But AZ was the worst of the three today.
