Honestly, if the plan is to buy wingers and cross, we should have kept tall paul as well? Yes he was shite but he would fit the style more than Archer Nothing SR do ever seems to make sense

Bollocks. They time wasted from minute one, fouling and diving the whole game. This was their cup final and they won it 0-0.

Paddy Power Russell Martin Fan denial 😂😂😂😂

Simply not true at all, based on the evidence. im yet to see either of these win an aerial duel and play in a winger. Che for all his faults was quite creative and good at getting us up the park. The point isn’t about keeping Che really, it’s about our shit recruitment and lack of a strategy.

I really hope Sport republic are looking at this and realising how lucky they are that our fans are so easy going.

This ^. We’d have been better off keeping Che to be honest. I thought it at the time. He was limited but at least he was good at holding up the ball and bringing others into play. We let him go and haven’t replaced him. Now we have no focal point so the ball never sticks. Add on top our non-existent midfield and the ball just comes back at us in waves. Even against shite teams like Pompey. (Who were fucking shite btw. Just ran a lot.)

Agree with most of the above, this is a pretty big game for us now. This is the only full week Still will have with them on the training ground. After that it will be a game every few days. So we really need to see him working out his best team and getting them into shape. Need a good performance here.

In fairness, Still was fucking fuming with the first half and kept trying to tell them to get out, but nothing changed. It was bad, and his subs came too late imo, but I do believe he sees the same things we see - which is a change from the last few managers at least. The question is what can he do about it

Absolutely no one at the ground was giving Azaz stick. Maybe his movement was more noticeable in person. He was nowhere near the worst player today.

Harsh to single him out in what was a shit team performance I thought you can tell he has quality. Good touch and made some good runs. Not much came off for him today but it’s his first home start ffs. Absolutely no need to slate him already

I was sat near the dug out. Their manager was a total cock all game. Moaning about everything. Just all round wanker of a bloke

Wtf has happened to him? Thought he was really poor again today. He looked so good when he first signed, but he just gives it away constantly now

Yeah. Dreadful today. Shambles of a performance. He looked absolutely knackered when he came off as well. Wondering if he’s unfit.

Mate some old man told be to shut up and be quieter 😂 I was like it’s a fucking derby you melt. Pathetic fans now. Genuinely couldn’t believe it from us

Some harsh comments on here. They came to kill the game, fouling, time wasting and diving. And unfortunately we aren’t savvy enough and let them get away with it. This game came at the wrong time for us, you can see some quality but they looked like a group of strangers really. My only big concern is our central midfield. We just don’t seem to impose or control a game with Downes and Charles. The game seems to pass them by.
