It won't be the disaster people think it is. It wouldn't have been the disaster people thought it would be in the summer.

When January comes tell the following to find new clubs

Collins

MVE

There likely to be a queue of clubs ready to sign that lot, get real they are going nowhere. We are desperately missing character's of the ilk of Doyle, Fadz and Kelly.

Austin and Robins have between them messed up recruitment and the coaching setup. That’s impacted where we are right now. Lampard has to unpick the mess.

We did not adapt to the conditions in the second half. It suited their game perfectly but that should not be an excuse. Still trying to play out from the back when it was so difficult to control the ball. Charged down all the time.
Eccles seems lost since he has been dropped. MVE at fault for their first goal as well as Collins. JDS the second. A recurring set of problems. Thomas and MVE slipping over. Our passing did not work and crossing was dire.
Think we may be battled out of games from now on.

Up until today I had managed to keep my optimism that we would finish mid table and not get the nervy fighting relegation end of season run in, where you are nervous of other teams results that could seal your fate. The lack of confidence today the lack of fight has bought back all those old memories.
I will judge FL on his next team selection if he does not send out a strong message saying that level of sh#t is not acceptable by dropping certain personnel, I will lose all confidence in him.

Around that yeah.

We would have got a little more in the summer but seemingly blew our chance and he got injured.

Doug's comment that the deck is fantastic and we don't need anything more in central midfield was deeply troubling.

Lampard picked Binks, JDS and Collins today. He is saddled with some blame.

Shipping 4 goals against a team like Portsmouth is abysmal, nay laughable.

I genuinely fear for the rest of the season.

It won't, because it looks like his heart's not in it anymore.

It would have been best for all parties if we'd have sold him in the summer. Hindsight, eh?

Fair play to them, they knew what they needed to do - Rough us up a bit and pepper our goalie with shots

We should be tearing our own side to shreds, not Pompey

Fair play to Pompey btw.

They were even worse than us last Friday away at Derby and looked that way in the first ten minutes.

Saw blood at 1-1 and bullied us. They came out in the second half and won every single battle.

I still think they'll be in trouble because other clubs with punish their mistakes but we would never see battle from our side like that.

He needs a few transfer windows to undo the horror show of a squad that King, Austin and Robins put together.

New era takes time to shape. It’s not an overnight thing.

I’m not a fan JDS and Collins but he didn’t want to change a winning team and I get that. After the performances today he has no choice.

His interview was telling and there will be changes going forward and he knows what he wants in Jan.

Yes ..but in hindsight, think he probably parroting what Austin is telling him. I'd say that should be more worrying!...

EMC looked good, Basette, these guys are coming on. Where is Simms though? He was a terror in the second half of last season, don't understand how we've lost him. Meanwhile, when Wright comes back, are the best two players competing for the same spot? Lampard earns his money if he figures out how to keep Haji ticking while EMC continues to progress. Otherwise, Da Silva and Collins did not look good, did they? Don't understand what Dovin did wrong or why Da Silva makes the starting XI. We've seen him play well, but was that as a substitute? I seem to think it was.
