If Davis Doesn't Make It

If the worst comes to worst and Bialkowski starts on sunday, can we ALL just get behind him.

 

His confidence is going to be in shreds and another nervy performance from him will cost us the game

 

I want to hear every fan chanting his name from the start and giving it all they can to boost the lads confidence at kick off.

 

Anyone who boos or jeers him will simply act as Pompeys 12th man.

 

Come on - let's get behind him!!

Didn't hear any booing or jeering from the Northam on Saturday, just piercing, deadly silence. In fact there was a lot of encouragement for Bart after his mistake (well, the biggest one). I have faith that even the most moronic quarters of our fanbase will get behind the whole team for this one.

I'd play Kelvin even at 70% fit. If Bart plays we'll lose as I'd fully expect him to make mistakes. That's not getting on his back, just stating opinion as to how he'll react to Fratton Park.

 

Same here. Get some injections in that leg of his, sharpish. It's not as if Davis even kicks the ball these days. Just roll it out to Fonte as usual and everything will be fine...

Strange. Before last week I think most were confidant that we had a brilliant 2nd choice keeper. NA knows by now who will be playing I would have thought, and if it's Bart I get the impression NA will be preparing him well. He'll know what to expect. Plenty of abuse and plenty of low, hard shots.

 

One thing is for sure, when Henderson is at our end we must get right on his back. Much like we did with that MK Dons keeper.

Cue debate Monday - why did we play an unfit KD. Even Bart would have been better.

 

Bart will be fine if called upon. Of that I have no doubt. Having said that, it's starting to look like KD will be fit to make his delayed 25th appearance for the club.

If he plays I will just cross my fingers and hope that he's pt last weekend behind him and moved on. He had shown genuine ability as a keeper before and I'm sure he will again, people are saying we will definately loose if he plays which is rather amusing given that he is unlikely to make such a costly blunder again and even when he did we still didn't loose to a side that are easily as good as pompey.

How about the chorus from 'do the bartman' by bart simpson.

 

Everybody if you can, do the Bartman!

Shake you body, turn it out, if you can, man!

Move you butt to the side, yes you can, can!

Everybody in the house, do the Bartman

 

We will deffo seem like super-tough-guy fans in front of the skates, signing about a man moving his butt :lol:

Apparently that's exactly what he was doing last week, hence his poor handling.

 

He'll play a blinder next time, doesn't matter what job you do, when you know you can't possibly do as bad as the last time the pressure's off.

They got lucky last time that Blackpool seemed reluctant to shoot or cross the ball when winning.

 

Quite. I was amazed (and mightily relieved) that Pool took so few shots from distance at a keeper whose confidence was clearly shot to bits. If Bart's in goal, the Skates might not be so reticent.

Whoever's in goal is going to take a lot of sh*t from their end but we've got 3,000 behind the other so just make sure we give it to him. For the first time ever we've got a roof above us down the sh*thole (if the Thurs/Fri gales haven't peeled it off) so we can give it back a bit this time. No let up.

However poor against Blackpool, we didn't win because we let them back in it with a very soft goal when we should have gone 2-0 up. Gave them hope and they came out to take the lead, even if undeserved. From then on our finishing was poor. So while a practical own goal doesn't help, it wasn't exactly a last minute howler when winning was it.

 

If people would rather have a half fit Davis, then Bart's career here is over. But I have a feeling if Bart had played well and kept a clean sheet Saturday, people would be talking about him being no. 1. Either way, it's 1 game and daft to read that much into it. If Kelvin isn't fit and Bart plays, good luck to him. If after 4 or 5 games in the side he hasn't shown his ability then maybe we can write him off, but I'm uncomfortable about the reaction to one game. Especially when he's been good in the past. Maybe it'll help him having a week to prepare for this one, or not having that perfect home record to defend. Maybe just getting the worst error out his system will help. Or, perhaps he'll make more. It'll help if the defence don't give away plenty of chances. They got lucky last time that Blackpool seemed reluctant to shoot or cross the ball when winning.

 

He didn't just make one mistake leading to a goal. He was **** poor throughout the game, which meant our defence lost confidence in him, avoiding pasing back when they should etc ..and his kicking when he had the ball was shockingly poor , so he gave possession away many times. His play affected the whole game.

 

Having said that, if he is best we've got on Sunday of opurse we should back him, and he has played well in the past so maybe it'll be ok.

Kelvin has to play Sunday, even if half fit.Anything else and were ****ed..........

 

We have to nurse Kelvin through the next 3 games and then get someone in on loan as cover for him.We have to face facts. We are going to be involved in some big games in the next few months. Saturday was not any where near the tension levels that'll come as we arrive nearer and nearer to may,yet Bard blow it. He blow it so bad that I'm afraid for all Adkins kind words, they're just that, words.He can not risk him again, until he's gone out on loan and shown it was a one off. Harsh, of course, but the prize is there for the taking and if you're not up to it, you're not up to it. It wasn't about one mistake, it was his overall performance.It was one of the worst displays I've seen from a Saints Keeper in 40 odd years, in a run of the mill home league game.

The sad thing is that De Ridder should have passed for us to hammer home the winner.

 

Then Barts performance would not have had as big an impact on us or the team itself. We have the squad to beat Pompey but only if the other ten show up and play as they can.

 

Quite. Not only this but if only 2 of hammond,morgan and lamberts chances had gone in we'd have whipped in 3 quick goals and picked up another 3 points. I am genuinely confident in 2 things..KD WILL PLAY/WE WILL WIN!!

According to Patred on the Ugly we have signed a loan keeper today..........

 

Patred ........rrright

Move along nothing to see here then.

 

NB: If you want to listen to Pat, Fonte is ill and Chaplow is fit.Mind you Fonte doesn't appear to have been on the Hospital Visit so could well be right on that one.

you do realise he was probably of roughly the same standard as Tommy Forecast don't you?

Thats a terrible slur on NA. You do know that he played over 240 times for football league clubs (Wigan and Tranmere). TF has 4 league appaearances to his name so far. NA may not have been Premier League but to write off his playing career like this is scandalous. ;)

Looking at the pics there is only about 7 players on there anyway, so I wouldn't read too much into that.

For what its worth I saw Fonte driving along millbrook rd at about 9:30 this morning, towards Marchwood.

Just trying to give Pat the benefit of the doubt there. Anyway if you look at the stills and the video I think you can spot all first team players except Seaborne and Fonte, Seaborne for obvious reasons I guess.

You are getting the wrong end of the stick there it was a joke thread about Pompey fans claims. Read through the thread!

the last post on that thread from me

 

 

it's a poopey source.. been doing the rounds this morning.

Apparently Jose , Chappers and KD have got the Poopy flu.

Bart and Lallana are only 50/50 and we have recalled Forcast from his loan (despite the fact he has a no recall clause)
