August 1, 201214 yr Morcambe hit the post twice in 5 minutes Can the first team hold out for the first win of pre season? Edited August 1, 201214 yr by birch-chorley
August 2, 201214 yr Went to Morecambe, mainly to tick off the new ground. It's good to win, but it was still a long way from a full- blooded game, so the result meant as little as the earlier poor results. Individually nobody was that bad, but as a unit the defence was quite shaky...Morecambe hit the post twice & Bogdan saved a 1 on 1 in the first half, & the defending from corners & set pieces is still a mess. Going forward, both goals were well made & well taken & we played some bits of good football. The new players, Wylde put in some good crosses but is probably a bit behind Petrov at the moment & Andrews was calm & steady without doing anything fancy. The youngsters, Vela, Riley & O'Halloren were alright without standing out.
August 3, 201214 yr Good to hear a fan's report Nice one va va The big worry has to be the defence They just don't seem comfy at all as a unit by the sounds of it Just like last season Sod the players; A new defensive coach could be our best signing???
August 4, 201214 yr I hear Pompey are playing quite well. 2-0 up. Bogdan Mears Mills Knight Ricketts CYL Andrews M Davies Petrov Eagles Ngog
August 4, 201214 yr Our form pre season is grim I just hope that it has no bearing on our season, I do fear all is not well behind the scenes. Edited August 4, 201214 yr by Mounts Kipper
August 4, 201214 yr Our form pre season is grim I just hope that it has no bearing on our season, I do fear all is not well behind the scenes. The defending has been shocking and the options up front extremely limited. I'm worried about both, but whilst the kids could solve the former I am not all that sure we have the answers to the latter! . . . lets see how Afobe does!

August 4, 201214 yr Have we not got Holden and Chung to come in. Think we've got the squad. Just hope Coyle is up to it. Going over to Tranmere. Anyone know best pub for meet?
August 4, 201214 yr These results have to be used as a massive wake up call to the players and management. Anyone who thinks the championship is going to be a walk in the park is deluded. Hopefully it all clicks when we visit Burnley. Its going to have to or we are fucked.
August 4, 201214 yr Just a reminder - Holden won't be fit till at least October. And goodness knows how long he'll take to get match fit after 18 months out. As for today, sounds like nothing has improved since the game at Hamilton ........... except we were playing poorer opposition today (on paper).
August 4, 201214 yr The defending has been shocking and the options up front extremely limited. I'm worried about both, but whilst the kids could solve the former I am not all that sure we have the answers to the latter! . . . lets see how Afobe does! Strikers....N'Gog, Kevin Davies, Sordell, Eaves, Afobe, Wingers.....Petrov, Chungy, Wylde, Eagles, Midfield....Mark Davies, Pratley, Andrews, Vela, Holden, I doubt there's another championship club with comparable attacking options. The actual problem is a manager who, so far, has been incapable of setting up an organised & balanced team from the available players.

Wolves have more expensive and in my opinion more talented options in attack.
August 5, 201214 yr Wolves have more expensive and in my opinion more talented options in attack. And more importantly don't have OC in charge
August 5, 201214 yr Wolves have more expensive and in my opinion more talented options in attack. Fletchers off to Sunderland though isn't he.
August 5, 201214 yr A riot by Blackburn fans in Holland has forced the cancellation of one of their friendlies. Still a very angry bunch it seems!
August 5, 201214 yr My news feed doesn't say a riot BY Blackburn fans, it says a riot INVOLVING blackburn fans. I think there's a difference.
