Holy Fuck.

All that effort to get a ticket and then that?! Atleast I'm home. Safe journey back to the SBA. Apart from the pricks constantly vaping leaving me to inhale 2nd fucking peach melba smoke for most of the game.

Met some Pompey mates after for a quick beer who were near the half way line with a better view than i and they said we were passing around well for the first half.

My thoughts....Collins needs to go. His confidence is shot and its costing us. Da Silva was awful, Sakamoto quiet, Van Ewijk poor (again).

Only think EMC, Bassette and potentially Torp did OK.

I can't understand why Bassette didn't pass the ball until the net for his 2nd chance. I was right behind the goal and it was wide open.

Hey ho. Safe travels back to those heading back to Cov.

All this shit about selling sheaf, any ambitious club would give him a new contract and sign midfielders to go with him

Once again Doug wanting to spend money from selling players and not his own

Sheaf was very poor. He kept overcomplicating things on the ball, when the thing that makes him so great when he’s in form is the way he does the simple/basic things well.

You don't half talk some shite

If King was a fraud he would've pocketed the Gyokeres/Hamer money.

Question is competency as much as you want, but to suggest he's some sort of con man is just moronic

O'Hare didn't want to stay. He had the chance to and he decided not to. He wanted to go to Burnley in the summer of 2022 and would've done if he hadn't got injured.

Off the pitch King has took us forward massively

I am not one to pile in, but today certainly was embarrassing. We got beat by a team who just ran about a bit, we didn't even do that in the second half.

Probably not helping my mood any that my Pompey supporting mate has not let up since half time, and how we didn't even work a makeshift defence after 15 minutes.

Nothing changes
Binks takes an age to get over and Dasilva makes an awful mistake
Think we’ll probably struggle all year as the defence are not aggressive enough
Binks has no defensive acumen how the fuck is he so far away from Dasilva
Absolutely on Dasilva like the first goal is on Collins but we’re going nowhere if we let such chances and goals jn constantly
Bit annoyed frank he seemingly done nothing to change what has been obvious for 14 months

thats bullshit

Ohare wanted to stay and Hamer but king wouldn’t pay the wages.

now we’ve ended up with players who ain’t good enough

if king paid Hamer and Ohare the wages they deserve then wouldn’t be here now

I didn’t see the game as I’m working but based on what I’ve read here, and what I’ve seen so far this season, I’d genuinely consider playing some of the youth team on Boxing Day.. even if it’s just a show of bollocks towards these players.

I don’t recall a team so passive and so defensively diabolical since the Russel Slade era. Collins should never play for the club again, Dasilva needs either moving on or moving up to the wing as defensively he’s a complete catastrophe and I wouldn’t play a single one of those “CB” ‘s again.

I’d give Kitching a run out and see how he fairs but as for the rest of them surely not even the likes of Callum Perry from the youth team could be as bad. It’s baffling.

So pleased I left at 8 to watch that shower of shit. If Collins never plays for us again it will be a day too soon. Doug basically said if we don’t have 26 points by Xmas the pressure increases 3 fold. We’re on 24 points, over to you Douglas.

For me the two players we must get rid of are Collins and Da Silva, they can’t ever pull on our shirt again.
How Collins has made a living out of football god only knows, his punching, kicking, bravery and just positional play is village standard at best. Da Silva just has no clue how to mark a player, and at two foot tall he is a liability every game
Bassetts second chance my nan would have scored it, goal wide open so he shot straight at the keeper, he should have gone round him as he was stuck stationary.
What FL doesn’t like about Bidwell I have no clue.
Simms is best bet as CF but he needs a good run of 6/7 games to get his confidence going. Frank has to offload and get some decent loans in jn Jan or we are fucked, we need someone who is creative in mid field .
I just feel the way we are going relegation is a real possibility , if not a formality

enough to keep them here

we’ve wasted in excess of 30 million on rubbish. yet capped wages on players who were proven for the club

if you can’t see this team is not worthy of the money spent then you are delusional

we had players here who got us off our seats

we don’t have that now
