So, I would expect him to be around more. Do the players still get Wednesday off when there's been a Tuesday night match, Trav? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be giving us a wide berth at the minute. Others would see at as somewhere they could make a difference and be the hero 🤷♀️ David Graham Brown, Premier ram and Caerphilly Ram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s strange how we’ve recruited given that we want to play a 3-5-2 in some variation. There is no depth for that. With everyone fit our best team would probably be a 4-3-3. I’d like to see this: Wildsmith; Wilson, Bradley, Cashin, Elder; Bird; Sibley, Hourihane; Ward, NML; Washington. It’s still far from ideal but I’d back that to produce better results and bring more out of players like Bradley who have had a poor start.

Went Pompey and was motm last night. dont you know that we can only sign 33 year olds under our rescrictions? apparently..... the whole league operates on free transfers and nominal fees, its OUR CHOICE to sign the old players we are signing, we should have aimed to drastically reduce the age of the squad . the fact we have an older squad than last season when fitness was a clear issue all season is borderline neglect David Graham Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Spaffed our budget up the wall in players from a higher league that can’t displace Forsyth at centre back. Priceless. No offence to Forsyth he’s been a giant for us over the last decade but he’s a wide midfielder turned left wingback turned left back turned centre back turned left wing back turned centre back for god sake. therealhantsram, alram, David Graham Brown and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've also spaffed our budget on a left back who can't displace either Forsyth or a 20-year old academy central midfielder playing out of position.
