Thomas has been really good this year, so I don’t think it’s right the fans slate him now. He’s an exciting player in attack and has a really good work rate in defence and puts tackles in, his end product is lacking at times. But, at 19-20, being played on the right instead of his comfortable...

Agreed besides the Burge part. I just think it’s best for both parties for him to move on!

I agree, I’d prioritise a strong defence over a strong attack when trying to consolidate in a new league. We create enough chances to have scored a lot more than we actually have and that’s frustrating. If we can stop being so wasteful, we’ll be a playoff side next season. I don’t really get...

Both GKs made one save apiece. Having watched the highlights to reflect, how did Thomas not force a save for his second gilt-edged chance? Our finishing didn’t help, we had 9 shots, 2 on target compared to their 11 shots, 3 on target. Their GK nearly outdid Burge by rushing out unnecessarily...

Our keeper didn’t have to make a save until the 66th minute...

I agree Fulop was an awesome GK, but Westwood was better in my opinion. For what it’s worth, I idolised Fulop as I was still playing football in goal at the time!

Westwood?!

Grammatical error!

But at least we come away with a draw instead of a loss...

Davies cleared it off the line and I’m sure Portsmouth fans would’ve bemoaned that miss had they lost/drew. But, they didn’t and it’s not quite the same as missing an open goal from inside the box. If you know as much as you like to think about football, then you’d readily concede that had...

Partly because Thomas couldn’t hit the target when he was through on goal... Answer the question, should Thomas have scored the open goal opportunity in the first half to put us 2-0 up?

I’d agree with that statement for the final 20 minutes, not the 2nd half. I appreciate teams who threaten from set piece and Pompey and Luton do that well, they generated enough set piece to trouble us. Their 1st goal was their 1st shot on target and as a home team, only had 3 shots on target...

Simple question: should Thomas have scored that open goal? Yes or no. We had 3 clear cut chances today, that’s more than enough chances to at least get a draw away.

But we didn’t. We also drew to Luton away in similar circumstances, the first time they dropped any points from a winning position this season. That was a game where we were lucky to come away with a point and were distinctly 2nd best. Today, you would’ve thought we were team chasing automatic...

We could’ve went 1-0 down, but didn’t. We went 1-0 up and could’ve went 2-0 up. How many times have we thrown away a 2-0 lead under Robins? Have we? I agree, conceding 2 goals away against a top 6 team tends to limit you to a draw, if you’re lucky. But, we’ve gone and missed chances when we’re...

I’d love Bright to stay, and hope his ‘I feel at home’ statement means we may have a fighting chance of keeping him on. That’s the naïve optimist in me, but realistically, a Championship team ought to sign him.

The point wasn’t that his mistakes aren’t an issue... Our inability to finish chances is the main issue at hand. The theme of missed chances is a weekly occurrence and we nearly threw away our lead v Bradford shortly after missing 2 chances that were harder to miss than score. We are still one...

We created enough chances to win today. Thomas was put through twice on goal, and he missed an open goal. You wouldn’t defend that miss had it came from a striker. I agree with you, Thomas creates opportunities for himself, he just can’t finish those chances. Bakayoko was dominated by two very...

The goalkeeper weren’t solely to blame for both goals. It’s the defensive marker’s role to not allow the attacker a free header (1st goal). Either way, assume we went 2-0 up and the mistakes still happened we draw 2-2. The root of our issues isn’t Burge, we miss too many chances and we don’t...

For all of Burge’s mistakes, if our conversion rate was decent, the mistakes wouldn’t have impacted on our results as much. Take today, Thomas scores to make it 2-0, we probably win. We don’t finish teams off and the better teams make us pay. A consistent theme week on week is: we had the...
