collier Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 It's what happens when you take a big profit for your best striker just before the transfer window closes and not replace him. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted September 10, 2016 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy082005 Posted September 10, 2016 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted September 10, 2016 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hopefully won't be a melt down on here. I think people just need to realise where we are as a club. I've posted before that our 'amazing transfer window' is probably enough to ensure we are not in a relegation dog fight, nothing more. That in turn means we are still going to drop a lot of points along the way. Focus on 60 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kodjia was happy here and wanted to stay I could understand the negativity getting rid of him, but surely anyone can see it was a brilliant move for us rather than keeping a sulking striker. Everyone knows we are a bit light up front but it is what it is. We have signed a striker and he may well turn out to be a great signing, but surely people have to look at the bigger picture.
