No, Pompey were a huge club, our support is (at home) is no better than any other L2 club. To call ourselves too big for this league is the exact reason I think were not.We are a huge club in this league in fact I’d say we are probably one of the biggest clubs this league has had.
It’s a disgrace us being here.
merit or not we are here will this be a blip or another meltdown? can we get out of this division or are we going even lower under our auspicious owners
One of the things I dislike about forums is that you can get drawn into issues which have no relevance to the topic: such as this one..,,
I hope that BDRM doesn't believe in karma and I delighted that he has to the capacity inside his head to process his thoughts concisely if not humanely. Others are not so fortunate and you would have thought that as a society there was sufficient knowledge around that meant that the use of words such as Mong was consigned to a less enlightened era. Disappointing fella!
On to the topic I always find the knee jerk reaction after a victory or defeat really draining. We are not great for winning or shit for losing.
Does the OP believe that Robins tells his players to perform badly? Do you not think on the other side of the Willis played shit coin might be full credit to him for playing whilst ill?
I have never seen a manager send a team out to play badly or a player to miss an open goal or held him responsible for the keepers errors.
I can see that Robins will come under increased scrutiny but is it justified over the course of the season? I can imagine the scenario when he took over, it was rotten to the core, its foundations built on shit, runny shit at that and Robins has done a good job to date, trying to create a winning mentality amongst the ruins of a club.
Don't be fooled by the bling of the Ricoh or the history of our club, scratch the surface, take off the make up, we are broken and it will take more than changing managers repeatedly to fix that.
Whatever his failings he is better than the alternative.
This sort of post comes out after most defeatsAll is not lost, but things need to change very quickly.
The FA Cup run has been brilliant, but the league is our bread and butter, we need to start winning games.
Our next five league games are;
Colchester
Mansfield
Wycombe
Lincoln
Barnet
We need to win at least four if not five of these games, it’s a big ask, but would put us back in with a shout.
Anything less is going to be very testing.

Snobbery! Fans that think they're too good to watch L2 football = low crowds = shit budget = poor quality players = WE ARE WHERE WE BELONG!
If we were averaging 12-13k fans EVERY week I'd completely agree with you that were too big to be in L2. Unfortunately we don't and subsequently were not.

Don't think it's as simple as you're making out. Portsmouth fans rallied around their club when they reached this league, but that was helped by losing the owners who had mismanaged them into League 2, and they had becoming fan owned. I'm not sure their support would have stuck with them in such numbers if they had retained their previous owners. We haven't been afforded that luxury, but if we had & there was a turn around in optimism & fans belief that owners truly wanted the club to progress I think it would be reasonable to assume we could average 12-13k in this league. The 2 clubs with bigger home crowds than us (until yesterday anyway) are Luton & Lincoln I believe. Both are on an upward curve with their fans full of hope & optimism. I see, Lincoln have got to the Checktrade final so let's see how many tickets they sell for that, while with regard to Luton, if we had the season they are having, where they are not only top & winning games, but they are also scoring for fun I reckon our crowds would now be above that 12-13k figure you quote, regardless of our ongoing ownership issues.
Just look at Notts County results and look at their supporters site comments
Given that you state that you have researched past posts about gentlemen from me please post one where I supported Dale Evans.Hmm but given that your judgement and opinion are flawed , based on you were a mug that actually believed Dale Evans was for real and let me check ...
Yes you actually argued his case , so in view of this I can only assume your jumping in to a debate I’ll informed and wrong.
Another over reaction
fuck off yourself dumbass fool
Your another that needs to get over themself
It’s a football forum oh and yes you were another giving me shite about sacking Robins , yea you are are a real expert on football , full of content and objective . Yes a real expert and I note as well a chipper on of crap
They are slaying their manager worse than our lot do and are raging about how bad they are playing, no passion etcWhat does it say can’t be bothered to look

HAHA! Dumbass!
I thought you lived in Cumbria not Connecticut!
That was me on Saturday. Now I'm worried about playoffs as its going to need some changes which he hasn't been willing to do.Hands on hearts now, did any of think that we with 14 games still left we would be saying the chance of automatic promotion has gone?
I am stunned that we are now 9 points adrift and I do think that, that is it for us and it is chances blown.
Very saddening.
Especially after not so long ago we were what? 2 points off 3rd? Forest green game still hurts.Hands on hearts now, did any of think that we with 14 games still left we would be saying the chance of automatic promotion has gone?

I didn’t think we would get automatic and the chickens are now coming home to roost. I was hoping that we might limp over the playoff line-I’m off now to go and look for a wheelchair.Hands on hearts now, did any of us think that with 14 games still left we would be saying the chance of automatic promotion has gone?
