    Prepare yourselves for the latest version of the one up top illness that has infested our club since the day Jason Scotland graced our pitch
    Yip it looks like we are falling for it again.
    Other than that, good luck Cooky. We won’t hold our breath.
    Another totally underwhelming appointment.
    Will be there next season but many won’t be.
    Such a shame.

    donny, Portsmouth scored a few last season so don’t be too hasty in judging this appointment. One up front is ok when used in the correct way, which our previous lot didn’t. Maybe you might be surprised?[/quote]
    I am not judging his appointment. He could be a good appointment. We have had eight seasons of our previous lot not using the lone striker in the correct way and eight seasons of mostly drab boring football. Can Cooky do with this type of football what Martinez, Coyle, Rosler, McKay, Caldwell, Yootha and Barrow didn’t do?
    I hope so.[/quote]

    You’d like to think that after 8 seasons of near permanent crisis on the field the penny would finally drop…

    This 1 up front malarky is all well and good with top players with fluid play. We don’t have that luxury.

    El Clueless started it all with his Champions League football with Championship players on a non league pitch…with the occasional flourish let’s not forget, but otherwise it’s been downhill all the way.

      Not making excuses for previous managers, but were they given time to change things around? Some were dreadful appointments for sure,(coyle & yootha) but our manager merry go round is part of the problem.

      I’m no lover of boring footy myself Donny but Cooks track record is pretty decent.

      Just been reading one of cook’s interviews. He likes to play possession football, but one that accompanies a fast attacking approach.

      I’m sticking my neck out here. I think we’ll enjoy the football next season & be pleasantly surprised.
