Chris Porter

[Crosstownrebel]

I didn't go today but listened on the radio, It sounded like things turned around when he came on. I'm glad Wilson let Macfadzean came on for Robson, is it me or is Robson getting worse? Hopefully these two will start Tuesday as we sounded a lot more positive with them on the pitch.

UTB

Robson was awful today. Him losing posession as we were attacking led to their goal.

Forte played better when Porter came on. We played at a higher tempo,as bit more direct and Murphy and Macfadzean were looking at taking the full backs on.

If we play against Crawley as we did in the 2nd half today we will hammer them. If we play like the 1st half,we will lose.

My MOM ? Matt Hill....push forward,defensively sound. Long also did well

 

[Crosstownrebel]

When I've see Robson play he's been a bit all over and hasn't really impressed me that much. I had my bum cheeks firmly clenched during the first half and was surprised we went in at the break only one goal down.

How did Macdonald and Doyle play? Sounded like they over ran us in the midfield too easily.

Matt played well at right back, I was encouraged to hear that he had a few shots. Sounds like George did a grand job for us again.

He won pretty much everything, looked positive, caused trouble and scored. Deserves a place on Tuesday.

1st half they were poor,when Robson went off and we had width on both sides,they did well and we started to create chances

I have to admit my heart sank when I heard he was coming on but all this Sounds promising, well done Chris.

It was no coincidence that miller was banging goals in with Porter along side him.

Emilie Heskey was shit at scoring but why did so many different managers buy him for big money and why did he get picked for England so often? Because he did the dirty work to enable people alongside him score. Porter does that for us. Kitson was doing so but for be has come of the boil of late.. Quite a lot too.

I think Kitson has been burned out, I don't think he should be on the pitch for more than 60.

Definately. You can see him falling deeper and deeper as the game goes on.

Porter always does the first three of these four things. I don't get why he is so vilified! If only he could do the fourth bit a little more often; he'd be hero worshipped.

Because more often than not, he never does any of those 4 things.

You don't think he wins it in the air often?

He wins EVERYTHING in the air! Does he ever lose a header?

you haven't watched him play that often judging by that comment

Through no fault of his own he is currently about the best we have (unless Kitson finds some last minute form). Slating him is not going to do him, the team or any of us any good whatsoever.

The fans there yesterday recognised his contribution and showed their appreciation. I particularly liked the 'Porter for England' chant that seemed to rise up.

I've seen him play quite a few times and his ball control has been terrible. The ball may go to him but when it bounces 2 meters off him, what can you do.
