Re: I'm truly hoping this is fake news
I'm more worried about Towler having to step up than Raggs. He has potential. Wonder if there are any free agents knocking about for a bit of cover.

Re: I'm truly hoping this is fake news
Not looking to pick a fight mate, but if you think Raggett is the same quality as someone like McIntyre, you are not watching the same game as me. Watching McIntyre last week reminded me why Raggett is so limited. I get that we need Raggs now, but I truly wish we didn't. Losing Morrell is not as great a loss IMO.Pompey55 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 8:14 amI saw very few complaints about Raggett during that time but suddenly because we signed a player with some championship experience all be it with a struggling team and after a 4 month injury layoff he was the messiah who would guarantee our automatic promotion apparently.Portchesterblue2 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 11:13 pm Did I miss us playing another centre back some where along the line?? I could have sworn that the games pile has been out for, raggett has been playing, and we won far more games than we lost hence we are top of the league .
Is raggett the new sparkes for this week??

Re: I'm truly hoping this is fake news
If you had noted in an earlier post I had said I wasn't saying that McIntyre wasn't a better defender in possession than Raggett but felt it was to early in my view to judge him after 54 minutes against a very poor opposition.Selsey Bill wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 10:42 pmNot looking to pick a fight mate, but if you think Raggett is the same quality as someone like McIntyre, you are not watching the same game as me.

I do feel that there was some over reaction to think his loss would cost us automatic promotion based on 54 minutes football and a number of games in the Championship

Re: I'm truly hoping this is fake news
JM obviously knows Ragg's abilities and see's him more as a stopper than a creator. But I think I know what '55 means - just because we play Raggett doesn't mean we can't go up automatically. That's a bit of a put down on the three other new players we've brought in - not to mention the rest of the squad and Mousinho's coaching.Selsey Bill wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 10:42 pmNot looking to pick a fight mate, but if you think Raggett is the same quality as someone like McIntyre, you are not watching the same game as me.

Re: I'm truly hoping this is fake news
again, was Raggett not playing in all the games we won to get us to the top of the league, why are we suddenly going to lose all our games because he isnt as good as someone who played 54 minutes for us ??NSRailings wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 8:30 amJM obviously knows Ragg's abilities and see's him more as a stopper than a creator.

Re: I'm truly hoping this is fake news
I think the major concern with losing McIntyre is we are back to being as vulnerable as we were before the January window in the centre of defence. We now, once again, only have Towler as a backup CB. Another injury and we are in trouble. We also suffer a bit from a drop in quality. While Raggett is stable and reliable, the added quality we have lost in both Poole and now McIntyre makes us weaker. It's not a drastic weakening, certainly not season ending. I have full faith that Raggett will do what he does well and we will continue to have a tough defence to beat. I just hope we can get through the rest of the season without any further injury worries.

Re: I'm truly hoping this is fake news
Agreed, although I think we are in a slightly stronger position though due to Ogilvie is back fit.phat_chris wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 11:24 am I think the major concern with losing McIntyre is we are back to being as vulnerable as we were before the January window in the centre of defence.

Re: I'm truly hoping this is fake news
I agree the return of Ogilvie is massive and whilst Sparkes has been good in parts, particularly from dead ball situations, it has become rather obvious of the weakness of Sparkes` defensive abilities. Raggett is good in what he does, defend! We still have (including Raggett) just about the best Defence in League One)

Re: I'm truly hoping this is fake news
Ogilvie was great in the Northampton match. Great to have him back and definitely a key player I hope stays fit.

Re: I'm truly hoping this is fake news
And was sparkes not part of that defence? Why is the constant putting down of the players who have played in the games that have put us top carrying on, we lost a couple of games, big woops, so have the other teams, these players won games for us and yet a couple of losses and they are the worst players in the world ffs get a gripBlueinPLtwenty wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 1:00 pm I agree the return of Ogilvie is massive and whilst Sparkes has been good in parts, particularly from dead ball situations, it has become rather obvious of the weakness of Sparkes` defensive abilities.

Have I read that wrong? Have I not read correctly that sparkes can't defend. I ask again. Was he not defending in all the games we won?

Re: I'm truly hoping this is fake news
Yes, he was..but he was pretty poor in his defensive duties. Not too bad going forward and put in some good crosses but very suspect defending.Portchesterblue2 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 4:03 pmIt has become rather obvious the weakness of sparkes defensive abilities??BlueinPLtwenty wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 2:50 pmYou did not read properly what I postedPortchesterblue2 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 2:24 pmAnd was sparkes not part of that defence?

I bow to all you who clearly know football and concede we have no chance of getting promotion with this team
