2020/21 General Match Thread

[Kim Mitten]

Is your keeper accident prone in other games or was that just a one off shocker?

Against Southend he was excellent, obviously that's the only game I've seen him play in!

 

[Kim Mitten]

Absolutely terrible. Our record signing too! I don't think anyone knows what he does. A shame, as I thought it looked like quite a shrewd signing at the time.

I get to a few Millwall games a season and he is a totally different player, agree that he looks lost in games. He plays nothing like he did for Southend where he was a box to box midfielder, all action. At Millwall he seems to just sit in front of the defence and most of the time the games just go by him.
I don't know if that's instruction he is taking from the management for how he should play but I'm baffled as to how poor he is.

 

[Luke Imp]

Hopefully Rochdale are as giving on Tuesday!

Don't think I've ever seen a game/side so riddled with errors as that.

The transitions in midfield are much quicker in the Championship to be fair, must be difficult for box-to-box players to step up, in order to do it in the second tier and still influence games you generally have to be very, very good.

Ryan Ledson has had similar problems for us but he's young and getting better.

 

[Fedora Dale]

By and large, he's been excellent. Pulled off several excellent saves, and looked a worthy successor to Marcus Hahnemann and Frank Fielding in the history of "very talented but slightly mad" loan keepers we've enjoyed over the years...

 

[Seaaaa]

Grayson.

Why are you still here do one

 

[SF_]

Why are you still here do one

Haha, I'll be here all season, Lasher, especially when you keep providing the laughs.

 

[Shrimpurh]

Shrewsbury away tonight. We will definitely concede atleast 3 but we might score 3 who knows.

 

[Shrimpurh]

If you get Adam Barrett as manager I will be seriously cheering you to stay up.
Wasn’t with us that long but a terrific, heart on the sleeve defender and a genuinely nice guy.

Yep he is exactly what we need I think

 

[joethegill]

Trip to Bristol this evening. Won there 2-1 last season, they won 1-0 at our place. We come into the game 3 unbeaten while Rovers had a good win at Lincoln on saturday. We're definitely improving after a sluggish start as our 'main' players are starting to get to full fitness - Marshall was excellent on Saturday, and Lee/Pringle will only get better the more they play. Expect a couple of changes from the weekend's game, probably in midfield and up top:

Bonham
Fuller - Ehmer - Ogilvie - O'Connor
Jones
Byrne - O'Keefe
Lee
Hanlan - Ndjoli
​

Walsh, Hodson, Marshall, Pringle, Mandron, Jakubiak and Tucker making up a decent looking bench. Think the game will come too early for Charles-Cook, and almost certainly a couple of weeks at least before Willock returns.

2-1 Gills like last season.

 

[WhiteRussian]

I have a horrid feeling we are going to get tonked by Ipswich tonight.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Blackpoo tonight, we hardly get a decent result against them just hoping not to lose.

Is Lego playing regularly now? But it is good to hear he is getting better as he was quality for us.

 

[Millerbri]

Off to Sunderland on the early coach at 2pm which is apparently dropping us at a pub in South Shields for a couple of hours.

Hoping for a good day out and a favourable result would be quite nice.

No idea how it will go, we have been a bit inconsistent so far and Sunderland fans don't seem too convinced about their team or manager.

Six against Bolton at the weekend will have increased confidence but this will surely be a tough test tonight.

Fearing the worst but hoping for the best, as usual.
Looking forward to seeing the ground though but not all the flights of steps.
Can't be as bad as Newcastle though surely?

 

[Third Team Lucky]

I have a horrid feeling we are going to get tonked by Ipswich tonight.

Norwood and Jackson will test us that's for sure. The way we defended on Saturday gives us some hope and the boy Nombe is (at last) providing a real and present threat. I'm predicting a loss, but not Poshesque

You missed a letter

Nah, he filled in on Saturday as Pearson was out with a virus. His only other two starts this season were in the cup, our central midfield is probably our strongest area in fairness to him.

Did himself no favours last season with a couple of reckless red cards.

 

[Back in the DHSS]

Three out of our last five fixtures against Peterborough have ended in 5-0 victories for them. Sorry to say it but I expect the same tonight too!

 

[TractorBoys]

Hopeful to see Keane add to his 79th minute sub appearance on Saturday, tonight.

Get him fully fit coupled with both Freddie Sears and Garbutt returning and we'll be laughing.

Can see a tricky fixture tonight. Wouldn't accept anything less than a win before kickoff but it won't be easy.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

You missed a letter

Nah

 

[DippyDon]

Even a draw against Ipswich would be nice to keep our unbeaten home streak for weekday league games going, but the only other good team we’ve had at home was Peterborough and we got battered.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

I expect us to win easily because we are shit hot and I am a thoroughly modern football fan so if I don’t have padded seats, sparkling mineral water, heating, an a la carte menu and a personal waiter in the away end then I shall winge like a bitch.

That's the spirit, if you cant contribute to a reasonable discussion resort to sarcasm.
Well done.

 

[DippyDon]

Jon Nolan loves a lie down doesn’t he...

First half Ipswich deserved to be ahead. Thought we deserved the point from the second half but I was expecting a battering so I’m not too disappointed

 

[Shrimpurh]

Haha we’ve scored 3 again but conceded 4 damn!! We’ve scored 3 goals three times now with a 1 point return that’s class. We’ve conceded more than Bolton, quality

 

[Kim Mitten]

Well I always felt this team could score goals sadly we have a defence who couldn't keep a clean sheet against an U10 side.

Clearly only one man for the managers job, come in Kevin Keegan.

 

[TractorBoys]

Great result, dug deep in second half.

Feel as though we've now played the best L1 has to offer, despite some key players lacking fitness/missing. Fans are expectant. Proper fancy us for the league.

He can fly into tackles!

 

[Bartonyellow]

I'd love pompey fans to tell me if that was a penalty.
Last kick of the game.
We was holding on with ten men, so a point is good but man thats tough to take
