Just back from the hawthorns. The sheer lack of football knowledge from our fan base is beyond belief. “why do we always pass sideways and backwards” “always take the safe option” yet these same people hate on Azaz and Manning, yet these two take chances and pass forward and try to make things happen. Passing between lines is not easy, these two continuously try, yet we hate them for giving the ball away and also hate us being “slow”. Help.

Going above walking pace was not his forte at Saints.

Bodø is my favourite team in the CL, they are doing brilliantly. Glimt is my second favourite team, also doing equally brilliantly.

Yes I did see that but assumed it was some other player called Lemina, not the one who played for Saints. Getting into the box and scoring was not his forte at Saints if I recall correctly.

Yes that is what I meant, not the same player as he was when he was younger and had that extra yard.

I wonder if he'll be fit for Wrexham. Not feeling confident after tonight 😕

Worrying if so... he really hasn't played much.

It was called by numerous people at half time. 4-4-2, Stewart and Larin, 2 wingers, get the crosses in. He waited till basically the last minutes of the game to essentially do that with Archer, Larin, Edozie, and Fellows. Its too late (obviously). He's done well lately, but his naivety/inexperience cost us tonight (won't be the last time, and it is what it is with him 🤷‍♂️) - but the people who can't see this and won't countenance any criticism of Eckert are just burying their heads in the sand and lacking all balance when it comes to our performances. Its perfectly reasonable to say when he's done well at times, and when he does badly at others - particularly as most of the forum telegraphed this game midway through the first half yet the manager waited until the 83rd minute... 😄

We don't have a devine right to win any game. Yes, we have lost to some absolute shit, so have Ipswich, Boro and Millwall. This league is always the same, results that you never expect seem to happen.

100% agree with that. Bizarre booking for very little. Far worse tackles left unpunished. Not a great ref.

So what did he do wrong tonight? What would you have done differently?

Not to mention their right back who dragged Scienza down as he was about to get into the box in the first 10 mins. But obviously not a yellow.....

We’ve been absolutely atrocious against sides in and around the bottom 3 this season. Lost - Blackburn (a), Norwich (a), Oxford (a) Drawn - Pompey x2, WBA

He truly is an utter numpty. Him and his alter ego Saints Royalty are quite something. I think too many people believe we should win every game and play like Brazil at the same time. Never going to happen and our awful, awful start is what will cost us at the end of the season.

West Brom - must win Blackburn - must win Portsmouth - must win Norwich - must win Oxford - must win Many points dropped from these lower league teams this season, based on the above fifteen points. It doesn’t inspire me with confidence going up against Coventry, Ipswich and (I can’t believe I’m saying this) bloody Wrexham, or Derby.

Unearth

Yeah, the guy who held onto Larin's shirt when ref let play should have been booked because that was far worse than what Bragg did.

Translation: "If it didn't look serious I'd say so..."

Agree entirely. Charles was a major disappointment tonight not least when he conceded a needless corner leading to their goal. All he had to do was stay strong and the ball runs out for a goal kick but for some reason he panics and kicks it out - hope Eckert points out how big an error he made so maybe he won't do it again. Bragg has more about him than Charles and should be first pick behind Downes and Jander.

Terrible performance tonight, but that late equaliser feels like a win!!!! COYS

Made the mistake of going tonight. Christ that was a hard watch. The home fans were very subdued for the first 30 minutes, you could tell they were worried, and our fucking about at the back caused them to get a bit of belief and find their voices which spurred the team on. Thought we looked tired, a bit heavy legged after 90 minutes against a Prem side at the weekend. Didn’t help that the ref was a cunt and allowed West Brom to get away with the dark arts. Edozie needs to come in for Leo as cover for me, the only other players in the squad that wants to run at the opponent and cause a bit of excitement.

Hahaha he’s back. Absolutely loves that we’ve dropped some points.

Christ he’s been out of form for 4 months now !!

Give him a break FFS… players go in and out of form. He has quality, as he showed earlier in the season, just low on confidence atm.
