CONFIRMED Ben Brereton-Diaz joins on loan with option of permanent

[Slim Man]

I'm absolutely shocked he did 70 minutes or whatever it was how did he pass half time AND the first set of subs? Worst player on the pitch today by a margin.

The pompey supporters wound him up big style and it worked,his head was somewhere else today.

 

[nopigfansintown]

Miles off it fitness wise unfortunately

 

[Northyorksblade]

There was a lot of hatred aimed towards him from Pompey fans. Just because he played for Southampton, or is there more to it?

 

[Wireblade]

Hopefully it is just fitness / sharpness but as well as struggling with the ball I felt he lost his man a lot defensively.

 

[BrisBlade]

Lucky to stay on the park until half time. Could easily have got a yellow for needlessly bumping their keeper before losing his head completely for the one he did get carded for. Thought he looked well off it today.

They hate each other

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Took his goal so so well (great run from him, top pass from Peck), could have had a 2nd too if Campbell squares it.
If this lad hits form we might have 2nd sewn up. Though if he does hit form that would make for an exciting trip to Wembley too...

Do we start him next game or is he super sub for a while longer?

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

The goal summed up what he brings to us

That's 2 in 4 already, when half fit. Should have been 3 if Campbell wasn't so disgracefully selfish

He'll be the difference maker if we're to do it

We need to find the right front combination ASAP though

This is controversial but if Campbell doesn't bag soon and Diaz keeps scoring... I'm going to be calling for Diaz as the front man with Rak-Sakyi, O'Hare and Hamer supporting.

 

[Mendi]

Took his goal well.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Just a perfect fit for us tbh

 

[DifferentClass]

Permanent please.

Even more controversial but I think Moore might work well with him

 

[GymClassHero]

Pure class.

 

[loyalblade95]

TBF, Campbell was never going to square that ball to him, just like Cannon and JRS against Portsmouth on Saturday, strikers are selfish like that.

As for BBD, we'll use him the way he thrives, fast counterattacks, it's how he got a lot of his goals last season and last night.

 

[Yewsman]

Took his goal last night brilliantly. Love the dink over the keeper finish. Please please can he and Jack Lester teach our other strikers this technique. I have lost count of the number of one one ones with the keeper this season where we hit it low straight at the keeper who spreads himself and saves it. Campbell last night did it again! It’s not rocket science and I may be wrong but I don’t think it’s that difficult a technique to learn.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

We love him, he loves us, it's a love fest.

 

[Blacksea]

His goal was the perfect example of how we get the best from him,he knows the runs to make and when to make them,he finds space,he finishes.
Hamer can find him,Peck now can find him,early, quickly and before defenders can get set,break from opponents corners or turn the ball over and get it to him pronto.

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Not up to speed but once again looking at home here with us.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Some players just work with certain managers/systems and completely don't work in others. His championship record is better than anyone else we have for goals.

To be fair to campbell I think he got the ball stuck under his feet a bit and then scrambled a shot off

BBD last 3 games;

Derby: ️
Portsmouth:
Middlesbrough: ️

It might seem harsh. But same midfield but BBD up front could be the way to go?

 

[S40BLADE]

Gerrim upfront with Tyrese ont bench as back up. Hamer Ohare JRS is needed in that 3 behind #GrowTheLocksBack

Too early to call yet but if campbell doesn't find the net soon then it's got to be worth trying.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Got Moore to come back as well, 4 very good options at this level for strikers.

 

[ancientblade]

i dont think we can criticise campbell too much for that miss after how hes done for us and we looked so much better when he came on also doubt many strikers would have squared it when he was clean through it actually was a very good save by their keeper

 

[bladesince64]

That was a £15M strikers goal that BBD scored last night and we now have that plus Moore, Campbell, Cannon, Brewster (O'Hare, Rak Sakye)

How that strike force is utilised by CW for the remainder of the season is gonna be really key to our ambitions.

Last night looked more like he had figured out his best players to fit the system.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Too early to call yet but if campbell doesn't find the net soon then it's got to be worth trying.

Soon? Not scored in about 200 minutes of football, that's just over 2 full games worth. How many should he be bagging?
