I mean, I agree with Ismael that had Tronstad and Cantwell been fit all season that we'd likely be a few points better off. But let's not forget that the club are seemingly content with letting the former leave on a free at the end of the season (not to mention they'd no doubt be keen to get Cantwell and his wages out of the door too at the first opportunity). What then? Another Gardner-Hickman calibre of player to come in for Tronstad? If we somehow survive this season we certainly won't next.
The latest issue is who is going to play RWB/RB with Alebiosu heading to Afcon? With more CM options I assume it’d be TGH. But if he’s injured, God knows. Even moving Miller to RWB/RB wouldn’t work given we have no centre backs.
Still little doubt for me that we’re dropping this season.
One win at home out of ten is beyond diabolical. Pompey away next - it’d take a brave fan to predict us winning that one. Alarm bells will ringing for even the most positive of fans come 5pm on Saturday.
Lose this then it’s Pompey away on Saturday. I’d bet very good money that we’ll roll over there. Relegation rival, promoted club, big home support.
We are beginning to enter shit creek without a paddle.
It’s actually insane that we’re reliant on intel from the Oxford bus stewards as to whether the game is going ahead.
Venky’s and Suhail’s Rovers: not giving a shit about the fans since 2010.
Henry Winter has ran with their statements before but I haven’t seen anything from him yet. You would imagine he’s waiting on official word from the club or the EFL but there’s nothing but the standard silence there.
