Its like last season the team picked itself as we only had a handful of players, now we seem to have plenty of cover it looks like Noel has no clue what his best eleven is!! Coppell's teams picked themselves every game. Footballers should be able to play two games a week period!! Play your best elev...

Lots of Atlanta fans seem pretty gutted by this move and it looks like he was highly rated which bodes well. A few mentioned he's lost his legs so I'm guessing that's an age and fitness related thing....however at 32 he should be ok for a few more years at least especially as a CB. Its looking like ...

Would Canada being part of the commonwealth be as good as a British passport anyway? That's not the experience I recall from watching ice hockey over here - the Canadians were usually dual-UK/EU (pre-Brexit) nationals. I presume it's not a British passport/citizenship that matters here. Residency f...

Not worried yet, overall a better performance only spoilt by two errors which cost us the game. I said a month back that it was going to be a difficult first month due to fixtures and the team needing time to bed in and gel. It was a shame that Wing got injured as i was liking the shape of the midfi...

I think we are nearly there, i understand Noel wanting cover however, we have to be careful not to block the opportunity of our youngsters getting games especially the stronger youngsters such as Garcia, Osho, Sackey and Stickland especially putting loanee's ahead of these guys just for the sake of ...

Mid Sussex Royal IF you have good quality AM's you don't necessarily need a decent centre forward, look at what Pep did pre Haaland

Wasn't it Spain that made the "False Nine" a legit formation and did very well with it. No striker as such just three attacking midfielders i believe.

YEAH, because a guy who didn't want to go the "Far South" as is Reading wants to go to PLYMOUTH FFS Yes but Plymouth has the National Marine Aquarium and also, um, that's it. But still, he could be a fish guy? Reading is crap if you like fish. Smelly alley is our only answer. I haven't li...

We expected a defeat and we got one, however it wasn't a thrashing and up until the second went in we were in the game and looked like we might have got something. Early days and will only get better. Pereira - One magical save not to much to do. Abrefa - So much better than the Pompey game. Deserve...

He’s at the training ground now having his photos taken Hi Brogue, any news if a transfer fee was involved? I understand Pompey are one of the clubs interested in Knibbs so maybe a little sweetener for us if Charlton completely pull out. PS keep up the good work, putting our journalists to shame :D

Thought Noel was adding another to our Irish band of brother's however Paddy was born in Halifax :shock: :shock: he does have Irish blood though through family connections. This should be a very solid signing and fills a gap on the right wing!! not sure what will happen to Andre Garcia now as left b...

We won't get relegated, yes their are some good teams in this division and a few throwing around good money to try and buy their way to the top just like Birmingham did however, their are also a fair few weak and mediocre teams in this league!! We need to bolster our attacking line and now we know t...

After todays performance we'll need to spend every bit of that money as our attack has been dismal all preseason with very little attacking intent or even shots on goal!!

Any ideas of tickets sold for tomorrows game against Pompey? Should be more desirable the the Swansea games we used to get every final pre season!
Would expect a fair few traveling from the South coast so maybe anywhere from 6,000 to 9,000?

Abraham Kanu going on season-long loan at Forest Green Rovers. Good move for him but leaves us short of cover at CB and so I assume we are going to add at least one more experienced player there. Liam Fraser our new Canadian signing from yesterday can also play CB if needed as well as his main posi...

Keep it going Brogue its fun to watch

Trying to get some knowledge from this side of the pond in Canada. Most say he's dependable, solid, physically strong and a good organizer! he will not be your star player but is a "Steady Eddie" in the team and a good squad player to have. I'm fine with a squad player as we need depth and...

Overall thought we did ok against far superior opponents whose team of stars worth 100s of millions against our team who only have just been able to sign players again since like forever :D , Kudus alone cost them 55 mil however after watching his second half cameo he looks pretty special. The first...

Bowler should be an excellent player at this level, not sure if he is left or right wing but should give us an extra dimension up top and a significant upgrade on big kelvin or Chem Campbell. Would like to see a big unit of a forward added as a plan B as a target man for these crosses into the box, ...

Finally a break from playing Swansea as our showcase pre season friendly!!! where we struggled to get 4,000 fans in the stadium. The Portsmouth friendly is pretty good also :D I remember hosting Newcastle Utd a while back 2-2 draw i think and pretty sure we had nearly 18,000 in for that game so ther...

Watched the game on Royals TV, thought we looked pretty solid first half with them coming closest with a header against the bar. Second half was a bit of a borefest due to 11 changes from each side. Fair result overall. Both our keepers didn't have much to do so hard to judge really. Our biggest tas...
