Football. Music. FPL. In that order 😅
Excellent performance! Could’ve been 2-0 or 3-0. So glad we got what we deserved after digging in 2nd half. Pepple faded but deserves credit where it’s due. Everyone looking confident and decisive. Ideally a CB, CM and CF before window closes to keep pushing (hopefully no big injuries).

If we beat Luton tomorrow I will be! 😅

I don’t think any club that hires Rooney as a manager can be considered “serious” 😄

We’ve won this division more than any other club yet in the top 100 reported transfer fees received by L1 clubs we account for only 1 (Maxi). For some context Pboro have 11x, Wigan 7x, Oxford 5x.
January 22, 2026 at 11:12 PM
"if that's true"... we appear soft. Randell and Hardie had v.low clauses. Saying "players won't sign otherwise" felt feeble at the time. It's common to set relatively high clauses then negotiate lower transfer fees. Pboro would be getting £4M+ for Tolaj this summer (e.g. Ephron Mason-Clark to Cov).
January 22, 2026 at 10:42 AM
True, quite mad. Tolaj was at Brighton, can’t we use that as reasoning for a bigger fee? 😄 even Exeter got £2m for Watkins in L2 🤦‍♂️
January 21, 2026 at 8:43 PM
Plenty around the £3m mark which Id hope we get at least. Stansfield was like £15m? If you go back years there’s some punchy prices paid at this level for young strikers.
January 21, 2026 at 8:32 PM
If that’s true, how are we still so bad at this? Plenty of clubs like Pboro and even Exeter manage to command proper fees.
January 21, 2026 at 8:07 PM
Argyle shown any interest in him? Sure we were linked previously.
January 18, 2026 at 11:22 AM
Happy for him but he’s really not a L1 striker. I missed most of the game so he might’ve been class but first 20mins you can just tell he needs national / L2 loan. Pray we get another striker in.
January 17, 2026 at 6:52 PM
Would help if BG retired from Int 🤣 Yep, hilarious that Mitchell (proven L1) was a bit of a ‘panic’ loan. Now our most important def! Still can’t get over the “lOaNs ArE bAd” statement. Wiredu was poss a CB but he got relegated playing there. We obv needed more top end L1 players like Mitchell.
January 17, 2026 at 12:37 PM
Yeh he wasn’t great and another I wish we didn’t rely on. He’s also not a LB. Hopefully Mackenzie can come in soon and make an impact. I love Edwards but he’s looking slower and more susceptible. His attitude is one if not the best. I’d suggest a rest and use him to close out games.
January 17, 2026 at 9:29 AM
Bench Edwards and play Sorinola RB. Tempted to say Boateng, Wiredu and Ralls in the middle. Watts on the right. Think Posh edge this.
January 17, 2026 at 8:52 AM
Think I'd convinced myself he'd be here if we finished well - he must've know we weren't getting promoted when he joined!? If someone offers £2M+ he's prob gone (sigh)... ugh, right now I need two positives. One to cancel out the negative and another one so I can have a positive!
January 15, 2026 at 1:30 PM
If he recaptures or surpasses the level he showed when we won promotion then it's another indictment on the clubs recent mismanagement of the football side. Wish him all the best - Club going through a big reset and rebuild now sadly. Need to show some ambition if we hope to keep Tolaj next season.

Watts is agile and puts himself about. Amaechi moves heavily but does have quality. I like him but strikes me as needing fit and fast players around to make time and space for him to be really dangerous.
January 13, 2026 at 8:12 PM
Amaechi is dreadfully slow even with the ball. Technically tidy but needs so much time and space to look remotely dangerous.
January 13, 2026 at 8:00 PM
When focussed he looked really good but was so often lackadaisical. With the right coaching and stability could’ve flourished. Money all going to cover losses we presume? So frustrating to undo several good years of recruitment and development with a couple of ridiculous manager choices.
January 13, 2026 at 7:46 PM
Can’t remember if he was on set pieces for Portsmouth? Good if he has a delivery. Haven’t had a confident taker for a while.
January 11, 2026 at 3:11 PM
I guess that’s the hope right? Under utilised, knows Tolaj and experienced. Can’t say I’m ’excited’ but will give him every chance.
January 8, 2026 at 7:07 PM
TC said “one this week”. Based on the summer that probably means we’re gearing up to send an enquiry email next week 👍
