Thread | Most boring side in the Football League

Got to be us surely? We don't score, we don't create, but for the most part we're pretty solid and limit the opposition to few chances. What a time to be a Town fan. |

This piece sums it up rather well and includes some rather damning insights from people who have been close to him: https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/boris-johnson-brexit-irish-border-be
Quite how anyone ever thought he was fit to be PM remains beyond me. We knew he was a self-serving liar unfit for office, we had plenty of evidence of that. And yet people cared more about the impossible version of Brexit he was selling them for his own gain than they did about decency and reality.
We are now seeing what happens when you point blank refuse to acknowledge reality and tell barefaced lies to people. We are now seeing how dangerous it is to have someone like Johnson running the country. I wouldn't trust him to run a bake sale. |

And my view on this league hasn't changed. It's absolute dross. These are two of the better sides in the division and they're both basically crap. That we are no better and can't seem to elevate ourselves above this lot is really embarrassing. |

Thread | One bit of play on Saturday.....
at 14:12 29 Mar 2021
......really summed us up to a tee. It was in the first half, we'd actually worked ourselves into a decent position on the left and Wigan looked a bit disorganised with space for us to exploit. The ball got squared to Edwards in space, who got a shout from Judge coming in behind him to leave it. Edwards left it, Judge didn't have the legs to get to the ball, and it went straight to a Wigan player for them to counter.

at 15:49 27 Mar 2021
That's about it, aside from Bishop showing flashes of quality. Dozzell a bit below par. The three off Norwood have been less than useless. Norwood hasn't really been at it either. A few moments here and there but a huge absence of quality in the final third. |

If ever a game illustrated how rubbish this league is it's this one, given this is meant to be two sides aiming for promotion. Pompey are terrible but we don't remotely look capable of scoring this second half. |

Thread | Some mitigation for last night
at 08:14 17 Mar 2021
No question it was a dire performance and inexcusable and for many of us it's hard to see how we achieve anything after such an abject display. However, it is worth noting that last night was likely our toughest remaining fixture. Fleetwood are bang in form and their home record this season is very good. Every other side we have to travel to has lost more home games than they've won this season, including Pompey and Charlton (both currently in a bit of a pickle themselves).
We also have to remember that you can count on one hand the number of days Cook has had with the squad to work on stuff in training. Lambert did so little with the squad for over 2 years and he's got an awful lot to turn round and he hasn't had the time to do it. That said, after Saturday we have 2 consecutive weeks with no midweek game and that gives Cook a bit of a chance to put some work into the players.
I still think the chances of success this season are slim. The sqaud Lambert left, whilst having some good footballers, has a ton of issues holding it back. The play offs should still be achievable but I can't see us winning them. But given the timing of Cook's appointment and what he inherited, we probably shouldn't be expecting promotion this season and I for one am happy for him to take an axe to the squad over the summer and give it a proper overhaul. |

Thread | The attacking three....
at 15:54 13 Mar 2021
.... in behind the striker has been our main issue for me in Cook's three games so far. In theory we have a ton of players that can play in those roles but nobody has really been doing it well. Edwards is wasteful. Parrott looks a forward playing out of position for me, and his touch and decision making needs work. Judge works hard but mostly in areas where he's not influencing the game.
If we're to progress this is the area we need to get right. Unfortunately none of our options for those roles looks to be in any kind of form. I'd still be tempted to persevere with a Dobra or Lankester over a run of games, just for their dynamism and ability to produce something out of nothing. |

Has offered more of a threat in these opening 6 minutes than Norwood managed in the last 2 games. Those who hammer him constantly don't know football. He works the channels really well and he's produced two excellent cut backs already. |

When we last played them in the league we were third and just 2 points behind them with the potential to go top if we beat them.
Fast forward just two and a half months and they are now 12 points clear of us despite their own form being somewhat hit and miss.
The state of it. |
