There is no doubt the flurry of subs turned the game in their favour and disrupted our flow. So that's on the manager, yes. Not everything is though and I'm glad to see we stuck to 4 at the back and Manning didn't make it on the pitch. A few glimpses of progress. But game management still awful. He may learn from that though. Let's try to be positive.

I only got to see the last 25 mins. So unfortunately saw the worst of it. One team showing determination and effort. The other looked off the pace and lacking in any sort of attack plan. Fortunate to hold on.

One way traffic. We looked knackered and cant keep the ball. Just being overrun by determination. And the ref hasn't helped..

Pompey the only team now creating chances. They could win.

Football makes no sense. How did that poor Sheff Utd side score 3 goals!

That extra analyst made the difference!!

Bloody hell we needed those points. Good to win, but that last 15 mins was awful. More luck than judgement that they didn't score. Coincided with the subs...

Idiot ref. Total idiot all game.

Classic Saints added time performance. Give them chance after chance until the inevitable.

Yep. We aren't really creating much. Very scrappy.

We all know what happens next...

He heard you!

Was a nice cut back from AA

Soon. We've shown some positives today but this is the critical point in the game where we can turn 3 pts into 0pts unless we get the subs right.

If only we could keep him fit. But its surely only a matter of time till he goes down again. We need to sign cover!
