We've got the third worst goals for in the championship.  Hull have the 7th worst goals against.  This has got 0-0 written all over it

Just saw Downes of Soton score a goal, lying down. 

Methinks he outscores all our lads today, standing up! 

[Ferrit]

Could be a long afternoon.

So our best Striker starts on the Bench.😳

[Inferi]

Hull's injury situation is actually worse than ours. But despite the transfer embargo their squad is definitely stronger.

He was always going to be on the bench, he has been injured for 2 months

Their owner may be a clueless basketcase, but he at least shows interest and ambition

Charlton leading against 10 men, fail to win today and I think we’ve got 1 foot in league one 

Pompey v WBA as well at 3pm today. Could pull one of them clear of us.

Looking forward to Ohashi missing at least one glaringly good opportunity whilst running around looking busy.   

Hate seeing forwards press for pressings sake.  I want my forwards using their energy intelligently, moving well off the ball, getting into the channels, holding the ball and bring other people into play.   Since the days of Gallagher I feel like we play with, what are essentially, defensive forwards.  Waste of energy and consequentially, your forwards are rarely in a decent position. Not that it makes a difference with Ohashi.  Don't dislike the guy and would love nothing more than eat some humble pie. However other than a few good moments when he first signed he's a 4/10 and if we're going to rely on him (say another injury to Gudjohnsen- who I'm also not entirely convinced by)  then we're absolutely going down.

We are down - today will merely confirm that suspicion. 1-3 is my prediction

What do you expect from Ismael.

 

[RoversTilliDie]

Don't like the look of the line up from Ismael, no Baradji or Gudjohnssen in the starting line up.

Don’t tell the manager, he won’t have any excuses

I would start Valerian Joseph ahead of Ohashi.. He's miles better, as is Higgins.   They both should be in and around the first team.   Ohashi needs replacing with someone significantly better then selling freeing up a spot for one of our emerging youngsters.

Same with Mcloughlin, replace with someone significantly better and leave the other spot for emerging youngsters.

Centre midfield is also horrific- Foreshaw is significantly better than Tavares, Henriksson and TGH.   Horrific business, need two good centre mids- then you're still short out wide.  

Absolutely horrific window. Squad's a a complete unbalanced mess!

First impression is that the pitch looks dreadful - anyone at the ground that can comment?
