Even when we were a goal up and looking comfortable you just knew we’d concede and hand the game back to them: so frustrating. It wasn’t a disaster as I feared we’d lose this game, but it makes you see just how fucking awful Pompey are, and also that we couldn’t beat them with that squad of players. We are massively underperforming and the manager doesn’t know how to get the best out of them

Done ok there, we seem up for it at least which is reassuring, however we need to actually turn up for the second half for once , my fear is Eckert starts to be satisfied with the point and we just go completely into our shell. This simply can not happen as player for player they’re there for the taking here. A positive manager wins this for us

I honestly can’t understand how fellows keeps being dropped or played out of position but Azaz starts every game despite having very limited impact in several recent games. Why the need for Matsuki and Azaz in the same lineup? Fucking ridiculous

This is the thing, whilst its level the skates will be committing men forward and the game should be more open to exploit the gaps. However if we are a goal or 2 down by the time Stewart and fellows are on, they’ll have dropped right back into a tight shape and their only focus will be on stifling any room for our attacking players so chances are fellows will have fuck all space and we will be passing it around in front of 2 banks of 4 , doing anything to hold onto what they’ve got. And we all know just how clueless we are at breaking down sides who pack the defence and midfield and sit in. Fucking idiotic from a manager well out of his depth.

Yeah cos he’s really struggling overall isn’t he.

Bizarre that he makes a little dig at our best performer so far this season, based on absolutely nothing……yet won’t hear a bad word about the absolute limp lettuce we’ve had to put up with in goal for the last 3-4 years. incredible stuff

You miss a lot it seems, including missing the point of what makes a competent goalkeeper.

I’m expecting to see manning wood and Armstrong all starting. Manning and Armstrong certainly will. But None of them should. He’s probably promised them they will start Sunday to soften them from not playing yesterday and avoid tantrums. He clearly has little authority and is almost scared to upset the bigger voices and toxic personalities in the dressing room, of which those 3 are, from what I’ve heard.

It’s about 90% certain he will do this. He hinted that the players not playing yesterday, were being rested for the game Sunday. He will revert back to type and his “safe” options and formation, which in reality , isn’t safe at all

Yep- What an absolute fucking clown this guy is. Swear he’s just trolling now, no one could accidentally be this much of a cunt surely

Yes I watched it, we deserved to win. I’m talking about how laughable it is that Wilder is claiming Sheff Utd should’ve won 3-1

Good to see wilder still talks absolute bollocks after games they lose then. What an idiot. They should’ve won 3-1 apparently

But still better than Bazunu, you’d say.

Yep it’s pretty clear we need another big centre forward to rotate with Stewart and share the load, someone to replace him today would’ve kept a big striker up front to keep them occupied at the back, but we surrender that once AA came on. Surely we expected Downs to be the one to alternate with Stewart for the centre forward role, so with him now gone, surely we sign a replacement ?

We’ve said that a few times under Tonda.

Actually thought we deserved to win that as should’ve been at least 2 up at half time and prob more. Add to that Leo’s headed chance and you’d say we deserved the points, but fuck me we make it hard, 9/10 Bamford probably equalises and this place is in meltdown. The defending and general organisation still looks absolutely dreadful. Happy with the win though, have to take what we can get right now

Let’s see if we can actually manage the second half better than previous games we’ve been leading at half time in. Suspect we will see the exact opposite of that first half in the second.

You jest but I actually think that’s what he’s going to do. Because he’s a fucking idiot

Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if manning, Armstrong etc aren’t dropped, but merely rested for Sunday, as Tonda has hinted at changing it up so players are fresh for the derby. Guarantee you’ll see them all back in for Sunday

Called it, let’s see if the the rest happens. Can read the guy like a book

This is what my contact was told by the same scout who also spoke about Rasmus

Yes, we are. At the moment anyway. Players (decent ones who would improve us anyway) are reluctant to sign due to the current culture at the club, and the downward spiral whereby no one seems to excel when they play for us, and also the fact that certain players run the dressing room, which apparently is common knowledge among other clubs and players when discussing saints. This is the opinion right now, ie during this current transfer window, after what’s happened so far this season coupled with our recent history under these owners

Yep , whether people like it or not, the fans are going to have to come together if they want this club to ever be relatively succesful in the future , to get rid of these idiots.

Who the fuck knows, I’m just passing on my knowledge of what I’ve been told. But I’m guessing this doesn’t include the generic “appeasing the fans by signing old favourites” ploy they also seem to love doing. On that basis they’ve probably just signed him and Romeu based on what they could do x amount of years ago, and still not watched them play in the months leading up to signing them , again who knows

Ramsey will point to the stats and data at suggesting they’re on the right track i expect.
