Could really do with 3 points today just to calm everyone and gets us back on track. Smith has done nothing for us in 3 games so far (a lack of strike partner hasn't helped) so a couples of changes is needed. Cook prefers 4231 so expecting us to play 442 is unlikely. If we are to play one up top...
Sounded like we weren't quite at it today infront of goal, positives are that we probably would have lost this game last season so could have been worse. Have a feeling Smith will be dropped for Morecambe after two poor games.
Expected to make alot of changes for tonight but still think we could cause an upset.
Evans might be making a return after that horror tackle vs Plymouth in the Semis. Two new signings O'Brien (keeper) and Lingzani likely to get some minutes.
Left the ground fairly upbeat, the game as a whole was very like last season. The main difference for me was we didn't stop creating chances even with 10 minutes to go and Carlisle down to 10 men who had every man inside the 18 yard box.
Baker looked class and if not for the Carlisle keeper...
Hunt's a good signing, although I hope its not too much money seeing as we have Smith, Main & Chaplin already.
Don't know too much about Buxton other than Cook knows him from Stanley, expect him to be cover for now.
As for Jones going to Norwich, didn't see that coming. 3rd choice keeper for...
I find the idea of buying a ticket and then leaving at kick off a waste of time and money. If a boycott is well planned ahead of the game the club can surely just open the Fratton End for the game or one stand which would cut the stewarding costs. I won't be going either way.
I don't hate him and don't think many/any do hate him but last season he was nowhere near the standard of our other attacking players. Scored a good goal vs Oxford and a couple in the Cup but apart from that he looked very average and can't say I was surprised we are looking to get rid.
Agree, keeper and a striker and I'll be very happy with our summer signings. Hopefully we can offload one or two but got to say we've got our transfer business done early.
