This trait of turning on players when they are not deemed good enough is pretty crappy. Fair enough, you may think he'll not get game time under new management because he's not of a high enough standard, but no need to be a **** about it.

Valery > Bednerak > Targett > Vestergaard. That's how I saw the first half defensive showing. Some really bad decision making by all of them though and we were lucky not to be 3 down by half time.

I thought we did ok, individual mistakes aside. Plenty of areas could improve, but I expect there to be a downturn in performances whilst the new guy’s approach beds in.

On the match: Hard to be too harsh on the players. The way the formation and lineup has been all over the place this season, it's not a shock if there isn't much in they way of gelling going on.

What's the world coming to. You can't even casually chuck racial slurs around without being called out for it these days. What next? I can't have blackface or replace Rs with Ls when speaking as Maya? Snowflake generation, clearly. Alternatively, you could just not use a clearly offensive term.

It's all Eric Black's fault.

Pompey at St Mary's.

1 win in 14 is not enough. The Man Utd game has put a bit of lipstick on the pig, but it's still a pig.

No shock that another new defensive setup is a bit ropey at times. It needs time to gel!

0-1 defeat. We won’t lay a glove on them and lukaku will break his poor run against a limp defence.

I guess it was a toss up between this game or re-runs of dubbed Neighbours episodes from 1991. They made the right choice.

It's not about every decision being perfect. It's about it being better than it would otherwise be.

ITS FUNNY COS HE’S DISABLED. HA HA HA. Idiot.

As soon as we cross the halfway line with the ball, we go to pieces. I can't recall the last time we put teams under as much pressure as we ourselves face in the second half of games. It's ugly football to watch with next to no redeeming features.

They should refund the full season ticket holders for the abysmal first half of this season. At least it might make the second half a bit more palatable.

Dammed if they do, dammed if they don’t.

Ready for Tuesday I expect. Though since that's in doubt, maybe they'll stick him in the squad for next weekend.

Thought it was worthwhile, some tricky questions got asked and answered.

It was an improvement on his performance against Brentford, last pre-season. He's clearly not got the reactions needed for the top level keeper, even if he did have them at some point in the past, so really needs to be moved on.

Carillo must be on his way. I can't imagine we'd leave him at home for a squad trip if it wasn't already in motion.

The squad was already too broad without much quality, so getting two attacking players in surely has signalled the end of the Boufal 'era'.

It always amuses me how fans get hung up over the amount we buy or sell for. It’s all magic Monopoly money, so really doesn’t matter.

I'm sort of expecting some sort of deal before Friday, just to help push that last minute renewal drive.

If that is it, I’ve saved myself 50 quid this year. 'Orrible.

Jeez, when does the footy start again? Who cares if the guy is genuine or not? It’s the ruddy internet, nobody in person is exactly as they present themselves and it matters not one jot.
