I don't like being critical of our players, especially youngsters, but G Thomas has absolutely nothing about him.

You would think he would be much quicker, he has put on too much timber

Harries shows good footwork on the edge if the Pompey box, decides to pass rather than shoot! He's no big Mo

Could have conceded a free kick for a pass back then. Dubious if given but couldn't have argued if ref seen it that way. No attempt to clear and more like a pass than a lucky clearance that was scuffed

It's not simple actually - the club were berated for not using ticket master and now they have. If you have a concert which hasn't sold out you can't pay on the gate. Go to a theatre - can't come in a minute to go and expect to get in. Your comparison is shite really.

Complete bollox. The Ricoh holds 32,000 and there is less than 5,000 in the ground
If it's a sell out, then you are correct.
CCFC cannot afford to turn away customers/fans. The same as any business

We need to do something, they will bring the first team players with experience and park the bus

The point he made is a completely valid one. If your job is to put on an event, you want to make it as attractive and accessible as possible.

The fact is, they seem to be doing the exact opposite.

A concert may sell out, but Coventry home games won't, and they should be trying to get as many people on as possible. Equally, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers do not come to town 23 times a year.

Pompey shoot over. Chance comes after Harries backs out of a challenge after losing possession easily

The struggle is getting so many people in, in a short amount of time.

Even pay on the gate it would have had queues

I went to see black sabbath at the nIA and it was half empty - no tickets on the gate. Ticketmaster event.

We're letting Pompey play football even between their own back four. Teams would be putting us under so much pressure if we got into the positions they find themselves defensively and offensively

Haynes is having a nightmare on the left wing. Few times now we've found him in space and he's not controlled the ball conceding simple throw ins

First real chance at sending Thomas on a run, but their defender has him figured out and he is able to get the right side of him so the chance comes to nothing

Is Reid on the bench? Although I said Saturday he's never a centre forward, atleast he has pace and can run at their CB's. It's clearly not working with Thomas
