MATCHWATCH : Leyton Orient (h)

[Snowflake Royal]

I like Marriott, he's obviously not got the legs or shithousery of Smith, but he so often makes good decisions and plays smart.

I genuinely think his goal was a case of him seeing the keeper out of position and taking a chance. They had a very similar chance that Pereira got down to and slapped out to safety. Pereira was set and well positioned, their keeper wasn't and was scrambling.

He's not going to win a lot of high balls against CBs, but I think his hold up play and touch is better than Smith's. And he's clinical.

Ritchie looks to me like the absolute perfect player to come on for 10 - 20 minutes and help you see out a game. Can't see him fitting into a starting line up well, maybe at fullback.

Hopefully Lane isn’t out for long, he didn't create an awful lot, but he is crucial to the press and break. And hope Williams isn’t out, he's largely been a revelation and I was looking forward to seeing him and O'Connor together.

We're getting there. Just need get that extra goal to make a lead comfortable more often.

Strange as I often see things much as you do but I thought our front 3 was a real issue yesterday. Marriott’s all round game isn’t up to much, though he clearly has a good eye for goal. But he has to start. Ritchie has to start asap for me, to replace Kyeweera and I’d give Lane another chance or two but Kelvin made a massive difference yesterday when he came on there, and not sure you can 3 small players up top like we had

Can’t see how Camara finds his way in; sadly for him; and would prob go back to Garcia as our left back

My front 4 would be Doyle, Lane/Kelvin, Marriott and Ritchie

Ritchie seems to be impressing purely on reputation to me.

Then I suggest you review his cameos live rather than on a PC. Its obvious his footballing intelligence is a level above anything else in our team in real life.

Yeah an odd comment to make. I thought his control, movement, passing and all round enthusiasm and organisation stood out.

I hope to see more of him and it rubs off on the team throughout the season

He's played 17 minutes of League football for us. Yes, his experience is clear, but you can’t play 70 odd minutes on experience alone.

[AthleticoSpizz]

You know best, of course, but……may I suggest that he will run through walls for your 70 minutes (my Pompey workmates rated him a terrier who will graft until he drops and would’ve happily have kept him for another season)

Hunt needs to start him

Well you've completely dismissed him as being irrelevant as apparently he's "impressing purely on reputation". As people as pointed out a ridiculous statement.

And not something you'd ever be accused of.

Not if you can read I haven't.
