Given the chances have gone to midfielders what difference would that make? What we lack is a midfielder who can score. Quote Link to comment
Ivorguy Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 We all know possession means little in modern football We also know taking your chances is essential I can't see how Freeman can continue to be picked, or Reid for that matter Quote Link to comment

Perhaps he might have been in some of the positions that Reid has taken up and put the ball in the net (Kodjia or a replacement i mean). Possession is great but goals win games. Don't worry Kodjia would have missed or been offside. Quote Link to comment
Northern Red Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 1 game and the "should have signed a striker" crowd are out in force. 11 Quote Link to comment
Andy082005 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Forget the first 5 games. Theye were against new teams in this league. This was the game where I believed we would see how far we have really came? Same old mistakes at the back....and pretty toothless up front. Not replacing Kodjia WILL come back to haunt us....as I said, it's unfair to put all the pressure on Tammy. Someone quoted our centre halves is the best pairing in the league. I disagreed at the time. I just hope this Elkstrand gets fit. We need a proper leader at the back Quote Link to comment
Jerseybean Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Half an hour to rescue this......look at what happened in the final few minutes of the first half at Fratton Park today, we can still turn all this possession into points! 2 Quote Link to comment

Ivorguy Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Don't forget we HAVE signed a striker, and an international at that; he's just injured Quote Link to comment

Waiting for the usual crowd to start............ What about the expectations as passed on to the fans by the management and board?. However i'm sure LJ will be honest again and say it's not good enough. Quote Link to comment
havanatopia Posted September 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 When is our useless commentary team going to delve ever so slightly below the surface and question why we have so many penalty claims waved away and a Huddersfield referee ?

There was a lot of stuff in the press about interest in him, let alone what the club was aware of privately. Quote Link to comment

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Rotherham are just a bogey team eh. I know we beat em in 07 on that great day, but anytime since?? As for winning over there, I have literally no idea when the last time was! Quote Link to comment
