Charlie Wayman

What I meant was that he doen't want to be here, Charlton are deperate to get him back so where is the logic in bringing him back into our squad for probably only one game

What? He played really well, 100% commitment and a very strong presence in the middle third. You must have been watching s different game.

The ref spoiled to game by letting far too much go so it just became a bully boy game in which football came a poor second. In my opinion, he chickened out in front of the home crowd because he knew all the physical foul play was coming from Pompey and had he pulled them up for it, he would have had a very uncomfortable afternoon. When we did get our foot on the ball for a spell we looked different class but it would be hard for any player not to lose their cool when being fouled constantly. Pompey looked to be a League 1 side still having not really made the transition well. Bree's inclusion leaves so many question marks over Eckert's judgment that only he can answer but it made zero sense to me. Otherwise the 4-3-3 formation makes us far more compact as a team and harder to break down.

Red & White stripes seem to be popular on here.

The best preparation Eckert can do for this derby match is to lower the temperature and take the heat out of the fixture. Derby or no derby it's still only 3 points for a win so no good over-hyping the match as something very important and special in the players' minds. Treat it as any other match and leave the rivalry to the fans. Cool heads will get us over the line. Oh and ffs don't pick Manning!

It was a good game to watch so pity that the stadium was half empty. The weather didn't help of course. We deserved to win, there was more cohesiveness in our play and more competent defending. Wellington is a much better defender than Manning and it showed with much less of a threat down their right side and far fewer crosses into our 6 yard box. For all their great work at taking on and beating players, Scienza and Fellows are very poor at getting their heads up and thinking about options for their final balls. Scienza is inclined to be too greedy especially, snatching at marginal chances rather than playing in a colleague. They can't do it all on their own and it's costing us goals. Let's stick with this side on Sunday to build up some much needed self confidence. We made the Blades look ordinary at times so sorting Pompey out shouldn't be a problem.

You're absolutely right of course but we have a few quality players in our squad that can surprise us when they get their acts together as at Charlton. There are a lot of games to go and while winning five on the trot didn't mean we'd go unbeaten for the rest of the season, so not having a win in seven doesn't mean that we won't win another game all season. An unexpected 2-1 win over the Blades this evening will settle a few nerves.

No he won't. What would be the point? We're not going up, we're unlikely to go down, might as well jog along picking up enough points here and there to end mid table and then send him on his way in June; use the time from now to find the right manager to build for next season.

He's German to me!

🤞

Palace's boss Oliver Glasner is about to quit as well. He's the one we should go for, he has turned Palace into a half decent side and he is German so should be in Spors sight.

It won't make any difference, three days "coaching" v three days off. We'll still be utter garbage and lose.

He wasn't saying that.

Be patient, it's taken them only ten years to work out that Stephens was crap.

Bet you go to St Mary's. Easy to talk the talk, the garden will be flooded anyway so it's SMS or the dishwasher for you.

He's gone, get over it, time to chnge the narrative.

What would have been your reaction if they had given Baz a new 4 year contract and signed nobody.

Many of our fans flip from feast to famine at the drop of a hat. In truth we are a mid table side this year and will likely end up about mid table (13th/14th). Disappointing perhaps but not an absolute disaster after all the shenanigans of last season. It is clear to me (at least) that we are in the middle of a rebuilding exercise which is still a work in progress. There are some very talented but raw young lads in our squad and still a few journeymen who need to be moved on. We need one or two more quality players for key positions. Given time all these pieces may fall into place but patience is needed to allow that process to complete and stabilise. Next season should be a lot better than this

More fixation on your part. Away with the doom and gloom, no way are we going to be relegated this season.

It all comes down to timing and whoever is in the manager's chair, had he been here now under Eckert probably he would have been given the same chances as Bragg and Robinson. Orient took the risk on him at a critical time in the lad's career and it seems to be paying off. They deserve his success but they may not be able to hold on to him for long if he keeps notching up goals and assists at the current pace. Scouts will be watching and keeping tabs.

Would you be if every time you went on-line some bugger was slagging you off?

We won, that's all that counts tonight

No

A big shout out for all those loyal hardy fans trudging up to Doncaster on this bitterly cold day. True supporters every one!
