Maybe our lack of goals scored is part of the safety campaign alongside their installation.

I don't think they'll be involved at all, solid players with an excellent manager.

You've actually got to scroll for a while to find Pompey on the flashscores league table.

You're kidding aren't you? Stephens was directly involved in 4 of the previous 5 goals conceded by passing it to the opposition, passing to someone already under pressure or by running into Bednarek when trying to defend.

It's worse than that, he's outright stated he will refuse to use a plan B even if his plan A is getting us beaten.

"Alright lads, just go out there and keep the ball as well as you can..let's just use this second half as practice for moving the ball around..."

And then it turned around after a spell of him being out of the side.

I cheered in the Dorchester FC bar, got some right weird looks.

How many passes did we have though?

Need to do a lot of work on defending as a unit. We are so disorganised at the back.

We've defended really well since Stephens got sent off. Edit; lol that timing.

This is our 400th premier League defeat, another record broken by Martin.

Genuinely think we might break Derbys record. Only because we have committed to Martin so we won't drop him till things get desperate in march time.

Martin will put him in blackface and call him Bella Kotchap.

Get in! Three games without Stephens!

I mentioned three players who would do something different. The players that came on are more of the same but worse individually.

And the players coming on have proved themselves how?

If I looked at the bench now and saw Alcaraz, Onuachu and Sulemana i'd see players there that offer something different to change it. As it is all I see is more of the same with less individual ability.

Who was talking earlier about commentators mentioning United records to be broken? Just said they've never lost after being up by 2 or more goals away from home. 5-2 win incoming!

This management group seems to put too much stock in putting on a display of supporting the manager. Did it last time in the Prem.

It's Martin's naivety. He thinks he knows better because they were able to pass it around freely in the championship - never mind the multiple mistakes a game they Stephens made which 9/10 times didn't matter because it was championship strikers, but in the Prem 9/10 we'll concede from them. Not only that but he changed the formation to get Stephens back in, throwing THB off from everything he's ever known, and has now dropped him because of it. Our starting centrebacks in all seriousness should be THB and ABK but we're not only picking the inferior pairing but giving them long term contracts.

Interesting point. Our defense has been mostly fine this season, but 5 out of the 7 goals we've conceded can be directly attributed to one player - Stephens.

He isn't even on the bench?

If we play like we did in the first 30 minutes all season we'll be fine. /Sarcasm

Well that's that over then.
