Ridiculous comment borne out of emotion rather than logic. Was in the pompey team, got injured and got back in it again . Think that's probably his level. He'll make it at a certain grade.

Said it loads. If it's Leeds we play in the final, we must get somebody running at Dallas. We can nail them there. He's not a natural left full so run at him. For that game specifically El Ghazi wide right, Adomah on the left. Not working, switch sides. Still not working, Kodj on. Bolasie would of actually being ideal wide right if we play them.

And i hope he does too. But Monday week is not the time for Green to start. And like i said it's a real shame because if we do play Leeds, they are weak down that side.

That's the annoying thing. Leeds's, should we play them, weakest spot defensively is probably our weakest going forward.

Another i think where we wanted to believe he was something he isn't. I hope the mass exodus of u23s that got released paves the way for the standard of our young players going forward.

Couldn't trust the kid to start in a final. Harsh but no time for niceties with what's at stake. He looked nervous and found tonight hostile. Won't cope at Wembley when it's 100 miles an hour from the kick off .

Albert can't beat a man at this stage. Plainly obvious. Played like a man who had started the game and was fatigued. IF it is Leeds we play we 100% need someone who will take on Dallas ( who isn't a left back ) We will hurt them there.

And Tammy ??? **** move man for christ sake. Give our midfielders an out ball.

We bossed that half to be fair. The right side is a worry though. Green couldn't cross the road and Albert ain't much better.

Nothing personal mate but i absolutely abhor in football and sport when people look too far down the road. We are not playing Leeds. We are not in the final. We have to play what i think will be a very tough game to have an opportunity to contest the final. Tuesday night is not a gimme. We need to be right on it mentally and our level of football needs to be sharp too.

Derby. Boring club. Shite fans. Dull stadium.

Very laboured. Passes telegraphed. They can see what we are at a mile off. Axel needs to come forward more with the ball. He'll play through them. Tammy's workrate off the ball isn't good enough so far. Not making Hegazi and Bartley move really to allow others space in behind them.

Axel is massively important for us Saturday. Very brave on the ball without being silly. Gets us playing front football out from the back.

If we don't go up i think maceachran on a free would be decent business. Got released. Smith rated him very highly and played him almost every weekend at Brentford. Frank didn't seem to rate him but jury still out on him as a manager. The guy has a serious football brain, positions he takes up and his passing ability. He probably hasn't made it in the modern game due to injuries and lacks a bit in the physical department. Again, if we don't go up. We've spunked money on worse .

Got released.

McKirdy another let go. Don't think ive seen a cull of young players on this scale from us before. You'd wonder is there a major overhaul of our development side of things and is this directive coming from Pitarch and or Smith. We've never been as ruthless as this. Admittedly i don't think any of those kids probably had what it took anyway. Smith, from how he worked and Brentford and they way they have of developing a specific type of player, maybe has an idea of the way our youth system needs to go - for the better.

Gave it a great go on a pretty thin budget to be fair. Do you think you guys will keep players like Lloyd Kelly ? Wouldn't mind seeing us come in for him ( providing he doesn't agree to join us and then scoot off down the motorway to join another team )

Like jumping up and down weights is a piece of piss ? It's not the WWE, can't just say " oooh id like to see them right ". Canelo doesn't make 154 in a million years now. Spence probably will go there in another year or 2. But he's never a middleweight.

Pretty much. One change. Brunt in. Oddly enough Leeds have gone full strength too. They really must not want us over 2 legs.

Ipswich wouldn't beat snow off a rope. Leeds ain't losing that .

Hate when we play early kick offs. Takes us ages to get going .

Are all the games on the red button Sunday ? Sky have two live but don't know what they are .

So Ruiz Jr it is then. Let's be honest, the pick wasn't great. Hearn said he offered Ortiz 5 million and his promoter rejected it. Shocking if true. Serious coin, i don't care how you look at it. Something about Cubans that defect though, they are money obsessed when they break the shackles of the communist amateur set up.

It wasnt really. I thought jack was a bit whiny personally against Rotherham. Getting fouled yes but staying on your arse giving the ref and the opponent an earful is a bit annoying at times. I don't buy this " he needs to bring it to the attention of the ref " He doesn't . The ref will do his job. The footballer theirs. When he gets into this mindset he doesn't affect a game as he should . When he is on it, he's fantastic. Top players influence the game by what they do with the ball. If they get fouled, get on with. He was losing the rag with Phillips fouling him in non threatening positions on Sunday. 20 yards from goal fair enough but it wasn't.
