First full game I've seen in a while.

I'm deeply concerned and can see us rocketing towards the bottom of the table if we aren't careful.

We cannot score for shit, our passing is terrible, and too many players are getting picked that need dropping.

Poor second half. Thought we were alright 1st

This is in robin's. Shipley must be dropped going forwards if we want to win consistently . Give him a rest so he comes back stronger

11 games in are we looking like being in a relegation battle this season or are we too good to go down?

Its obvious to everyone. We cant score. If we cant score we will struggle and be fighting religation. Cant blame it just on the strikers as the team are woeful in attack

Tripped anyone who broke forward and got behind the ball.

Doyle and Shipley not good enough for this level at this time. Andreu doesn't fit the team.

I'd take out Doyle for Ogogo or Kelly, Chaplin will be back in for Andreu. Jones clearly not fit so not sure what you do on the left.

I can’t see us having much more of a chance of winning consistently if that happens, our problems are far greater than that.

We’ve scored 2 goals from open play I think?

I think it comes from the top, the players have no confidence because the manager has no confidence in the team.
Why else would he play so defensive at home?

They've not lost all year, they are probably the best team in this division, but yes, they were there for the taking.

Oh fuck off. My first game of the season and it was truly woeful. We didn't create a thing all night. A complete waste of time and money.
They were comfortable after they scored, where as we should have been at them.

I find Robins a really frustrating manager. We do have some good creative players but we seem to play so negatively.

Better players maybe but Portsmouth are overall the better team from what I seen. They remind me of Accrington last year. We had plenty of chances against Sunderland but only one good one tonight

Sunderland created way more against us. We lost one nil to a bit of class. Very disappointed with the sky blue effort tonight.

Exactly. I was being sarcastic.

Robins recruitment has been shocking.

I think it would be naive not to be aware of that threat.

We are really not very good at all.

From a set piece. Don't think they technically count as a goal from open play.

Serious lack of aspiration on here. Jones and Chaplin will make a huge difference. Thought Willis and davies looked good. Doyle really needs to stop taking the ball off the back 4
