Bridge

Sharp Goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Who gives a sh*t!!!!!!!!!! let's just focus on us.

I am a big fan of Jose, but Roberts gave him the run around last night and made him look very average.

Yes he should have got the ball before it got to Roberts, he could have easily got it from the delivered cross. He stood on his line like a lemon and just watched the ball go in!!! Great shot stopper, but f*cks the simple stuff up at times.

LOL! Brilliant…. I thought it was only women who supported Pompey had Tattoos. They are letting all sorts into Saints now!

As long as Guly is not on the team sheet, we might have a chance! The bench looks weak again!

He was f**king woeful. If he is playing on Monday we are well f**ked.. He is doing my head in the lazy bast**d.

That second goal was outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe goal of the season? Two big centre backs acting like strikers wonderful more please.....

What the hell was going on last night? Guly for most of the game played so deep in our half, it was like we had two right backs. Did anyone witness any overlapping or runs towards goal after a pass? Do you think it was Nigel's game plan, God know's he let it go on for so long before he made a change.

Just live in the NOW! and enjoy the ride........................................... ...............

Can we have this thread locked (It is just utter bull-sh*t)!!!!!!

After seeing that picture. Cheerleaders pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

Please stop this! It sounds really sh*t and I think it is putting him off.

Butterfield is better

Do you add ****-headed comments to get your post counts up? W*nker!

Does anyone know why Jose Fonte came off at half time? I thought he looked off the pace yesterday.

Quality

I love your taste with arse and tits!!!!

It's a very clever piece of tactical play. This is exactly what is happening. It creates space around the box because defenders are pulled all over the place and his link up play with Adam is sublime.

Assessment of Davis for the Carlisle game. Not much to do ready, made a couple saves, kicking out ok. Did not dominate the box with the two or three corners Carlisle had, bad communication with Jose Fonte again and put all defenders under pressure when throwing the ball out. Cannot get the basic right.

Firstly Davis WAS a top Championship goalkeeper at Ipswich and went to the Premier with Sunderland on the back of that. He had a nightmare season at Sunderland and it could only be the Ipswich connection that made Burley/Saints pay £2m for him. When he first came he made all sorts of errors, the worst v QPR early in the season. He then settled down to be purely a shotstopper and a good one at that who had a good long kick but nothing else. The relegation season saw him as the star, as the poor side exposed him to a lot of shotstopping opportunities. Since relegation he has been playing behind a decent defence and again in the main his shotstopping has been good but that is not enough. Match after match I see goalkeepers that can shotstop but have other talents, communication, decision making, good early distribution, appropriate intervention on crosses, even Exeter's reserve Jones looked a decent keeper, but for him we would have reached double figures. Davis is now making multiple errors, Tranmere, Exeter, Peterborough and if it had been an outfield player they would have be dropped as happened to the back four/midfield players. Bart has performed well in the last two seasons, any time he has been called on and deserves the opportunity to prove himself one way or the other. Either way we need a replacement for Davis in due course. I don't blame Davis for the second goal because Harding was ball watching, didn't go for the ball and allowed Whelpdale to get in front of him and not only block him but head the ball in. I don't blame Davis for the goal as the ball was six yds out, therefore as he stays on his line virtually always, he was never going to go for the cross, so a defender had to deal with it but didn't. Having said that, it is a prime reason I want him out because a keeper that does deal with crosses would have intervened. As for the save before the first goal, it was nothing out of the ordinary and was a fifty fifty block with the legs most goalkeepers would have achieved as Lewis demonstrated in the second half. If he hadn't made the save is hypothetical, however added to the first goal where he should have done better, it would have dented his reputation as a shot stopper, without which he would be unsupportable. This is an excellent post by derry and sums up the Davis situation. I guess if people on here are still defending Davis, they are not looking at the facts over time. This has exposed Mr Davis as the weakest link in the team now that we have re-built the out-field players. Football I am afraid is like running a business and is all about continuous improvement. Bring on a new Goalkeeper please!!

I wish people would stop s*cking off Davis, wake up and see he needs to be replaced with someone who can do the job.

If we want to get out of league one, we need to get in a very good loan keeper quick. Davis is well off form. Bart may need more time not sure. I hope Atkins sorts it out after this display.

Fonte captain....................

Davis only looked good in that sh*t team we had the year we got relegated. Now we have a good out field team Davis looks the weakest link in the side and must go go go!!! What is Richard Wright up to these days? Great goal keeper for this level.
