Reply | How confident are you that we could go up?
at 18:01 28 Dec 2025
Course we can go up. The play-off spots are wide open and you only need to look at Sunderland last season to see what's possible. I don't particularly like the Premier League but we've got to aspire to getting there. I was watching MOTD last night and Brentford and Fulham both won (Brentford now eighth), Villa - who we were playing a few seasons ago - are flying and then there's the likes of Brighton and Bournemouth - would they sell 9,000 tickets for a third round cup tie in a day?
We just need more performances like the first half against Leicester and fewer like Norwich and Portsmouth. |

If I were West Ham, I would be looking to get out of that ground. No coincidence that their home form is so bad in a place like that with zero atmosphere. Upton Park was the antithesis. |

Reply | Subbing a Goalkeeper - Why is it only done for Injuries ??
at 15:42 28 Dec 2025
Difficult to sub a goalie if he's not injured because it can only be an indication that he's had a mare and it can't be good for their confidence. Apart from subbing one at the end of a cup match because you have a penalty-saving specialist on the bench (like the Dutch did), it's like incest, the last taboo. |

Yes, I would like Poku to get a start soon. Thought Cook improved in the second half but hopefully Ronnie signs next week. It feels greedy but we still need another forward - God knows what the real story is regarding Kolli, while Frey looks worse every time he plays. |

A much better half. Let's get Ronnie in and another striker because bringing Frey on is going down to ten men. |

We made Dozzell look like Pirlo that half. Get Poku on. |

Awful half. The only positive is that I'm lying on the sofa watching it, not down in Portsmouth. |

I would get Poku on second half. He looks class. |

Standard crap Boxing Day away performance so far. At least it's 0-0... |

Poku looks class so I'd have liked him to get half an hour in the second half but you can't really complain too much about yesterday, can you? |

The most important thing for me is that we turn up and play like we did in the first half on Boxing Day. It will be extremely deflating to turn in a performance like we did last season against Pompey or this season against Derby or Norwich.
I hope the players see what we're capable of doing and deliver that more consistently now.
*edit* Exactly like PlanetHonneywood says above. [Post edited 21 Dec 10:06]

I was surprised by the venom of that chant but I think the Last Christmas one was the most telling. Fans really did give him their heart and I suppose that's always going to leave them feeling betrayed. |

Monga is only 16? Wow, he looked class. But yeah, bid odd to make no half-time subs. |

What a first-half performance! Now can we please turn up and play like that from the off on Boxing Day!
Was surprised at the level of hostility towards Marti tbh. The Last Christmas song was funny but he was being called out as a **** from the first whistle. Not a good day at the office for him. |

That's mad. I was a bit tardy getting mine as I assumed they'd be around for a while. How on earth is that possible????? |

He's won a couple of games recently so I assume his agent is advocating for a new job. Wolves perhaps? |

Thankfully, I wasn't in that situation. He is a very brave man. |
