Wonder if he will make any changes or wait until 70 - 75?

Shipley is not good enough for this league Doyle left Pompey when they got promoted to this league.We bought a couple of decent player's to replace these but haven't given them a chance. Doyle taking corners and free kicks is a fucking joke. MR needs to sort his uncreative midfield out with don't have any runners from midfield.

He could be fully fit and still not be a striker and play off JCH like he is meant to be doing.

He may work having a free role with a couple of strikers to play through, playing him off a target man hasn't worked all season. Not too sure why it would now.

Agree with that, it's system not player though. There isn't room for both Bayliss and Andreu in the same team.

Not a bad half for me. Shame to lose the goal but there’s points in this game up for grabs. Shipley hate unfair

It’s not unfair he doesn’t seem to be playing with any confidence or belief and doesn’t want the ball at the moment. I’d take him out the team for a while

You can because they are 1-0 up from 1 of 2 chances. We could have about 4 days in some games and still not test the keeper.

Lol - you were slagging him Saturday then seemed very silent

Don’t think I can bring myself to form a proper response to an adult who used ‘lol’ and ‘slagging’ in the same sentence.

Have a go at re phrasing and I might respond.

Andreu, Shipley and Doyle had poor half. Doyle sees every pass but just can’t execute it. Andreu looks off the pace and Shipley making poor decisions every time. Portsmouth look quite comfortable and I expect them to try and shut up shop and hit us on break. Baylis needs to put a good final pass in after he breaks from midfield. Sterling again has impressed at left back...just looks more confident.

Doyle is so off the pace. Andreu void of all confidence. Looked promising though.

People blaming him for passing to Doyle well Doyle could have just slipped it to Bayliss. He’s trying to make stuff happen. Watch the movement when hyam has the ball he’s the only one showing

He certainly did make something happen.

Hospital ball.

Look at their runners, look at them going forward when they score.

Compare it to us with JCH with about 4 defenders and nobody else.

Even if he didn't shoot, he could have played the winger in. If Burge saved the winger was following it for the tap in.

Don’t know why Robins selected Andreu from his first half showing. Not exactly sure what’s he’s good at from what I’ve seen this season

A quarter of the way through the season and having had two goals from our centre forwards in open play is great big margins

According to some we cannot expect any more than that. To expect more would mean we should be in the premiership.

So Doyle didn't have 2 men on him then? But Shipley got squeezed by 2 defenders. Not a great pass, but Doyle got mugged, Davies let the striker peel off and no one closed the shooter. Not to mention the lack of movement for Shipley from the original pass.

More like an awful pass to him under pressure. He can’t be blamed for that one.

I can't remember where I saw it but when he joined I saw some stats that seemed to show he was more effective as a central midfielder through his career. Not sure I could find them again now, and stats don't always tell the full story.

Going for it here bringing Thompson on.

Why are you even asking that question?

One change and it's a defensive one due to an injury.

Might as well end the game now.
