Let's hope he's a £16m player too.

Freekick that all day

Who are you and what have you done with Mercer? Don't tell me you've switched to white too?

De Neve? He's absolutely more athletic than I am, especially what with me being 41. But his positioning is so bad he'd probably be on the wrong pitch!

Doherty has looked decent. Baradji has looked decent too. As I've said, this formation lives and dies by the quality of its WBs. I've lost count the amount of times our two CMs have looked down the right for TGH's overlap only to see him behind the play - and that's not his fault, he's not athletic enough to be a WB.

Do we know the details of the option?

No he hasn’t pal

with a stupidly low option to buy, and no means to recall him

Not expecting us to win but by Christ we could do with it. Would drag West Brom RIGHT into it. Could do with Eustace doing us a favour and Derby hanging on against Charlton.

They don't like pressure at the back, when we had them boxed in the panic passed 3-4 times

Clutching at straws here but Charlton losing at home to Derby and West Brom losing at home to Norwich (not sure what's best there as it draws West Brom right into it and I think Norwich will be fine come the end of the season) Oxford drawing

They are! There's something in this match for us - the ball isn't 'breaking' for Swa sea in the box and seen it many times when you are destined to miss out. Terrific stuff from Powell for the goal and he LOOKS the footballer De Neve will never be. Shambolic defending for Swansea's goal. Back your instincts- in play bets for Rovers' win at 4/1 with a 2-1 scoreline at 7/1.

I imagine the stock response will be "nobody knew Powell would be any good"

He does it all the time and takes way too many touches before he tries to shoot invariably ending in a blocked shot. He’s got progressively worse since he first arrived. So much for our coaching!!

Not seen Doherty once, Baradji has won back possession more than an any other player

*Clears throat and puts on a Geordie accent "Because its been the Blackburn wayyy since 2010...man"

After they scored, Swansea looked horrific. To be fair they've looked average throughout. A better team puts us to the sword before that Jorgensen goal. Great play by Powell for the equaliser. We look dodgy as anything when the ball gets into our 18 yard box, no-one is convincing and no-one wants to get near the ball.

Should be mentioned that, whilst he has indeed been shit, Ohashi's flick to Powell when we scored was excellent.

2 shots on target - in one half!

I’m not surprised by the fresh links to Smit, we always revisit previous targets. this guy has been playing well and has 7 goals in 16 Eredivisie games. Big mobile player but of course strikers are only as good as the service they get

Why commit to a formation that relies on the pace and athleticism of its Wing Backs then loan Duru out to sit on the bench in San Diego?

Doherty has been far better than Baradji pal

I’d get Forshaw on for Doherty and move Baradji further forward

Portsmouth have games in hand...

Agents ?
