Re: Standards slipping?

I stopped posting on this board many weeks ago, although I still keep an eye on it to see if any trusted posters have commented. I wasn’t going to say anything, but seeing how NSS started this post, I will contribute my thoughts. I gave up due to the amount of repetitive hate on the board. Hate the ...

Re: Ipswich game

Couple that with his stubborn persistence with this suicidal back three... A few people have said this, and I think it is worth some deeper consideration. At present we only have one genuine CB (Raggett), with both Robertson and Downing injured. Playing five defenders, essentially one CB and four F...

Re: Sacked in the Morning

I blow hot and cold on the Cowleys; much like their team really. However, here's the thing. They have been in position for seven months and one transfer window. If the Cowleys are sacked, and someone else appointed, do they get one transfer window (January) and to the end of the season (five months)...

Pity it wasn't away. New ground for me and that would be a third of the distance to FP. I will hope for a replay.

With Downing, Robertson & Vincent injured, and Mnoga & Johnson out on loan, we have no more defenders! Ogilvie back from his injury just in time.

FA Cup 1st Round

Here we go again. The draw for the first round proper of the FA Cup will take place tomorrow (17th October). It will be live on ITV from 1pm (BST); the draw will be after the waffle and padding. Portsmouth are ball No. 34. Teams of interest (i.e. that I haven't visited): Barrow, Forest Green Rovers,...

Re: Rotherham

Given the injuries and suspension, I don't think we have too many competent options. It also means that we are not in any sort of position to play defensively and hope to score on the break or get a draw. I just hope that we learned from the Sunderland game that we are a much more effective team whe...

Re: Pompey vs Sutton Utd

I disagree Bill, Tuesday night was a chance for the fringe players to shine and they failed miserabley. From what I heard and read about the game it was embarrassing, proving that our squad isn't up to scratch. Our first team might be ok until injuries start to bite but we definitely need to to str...

Re: Pompey vs Sutton Utd

I think that he will go for the latter. There are players, who will be needed at some point in the season, who are short of playing time. Especially important for the goalkeeper (obviously Bass has to play anyway as Bazunu away) and defenders where we are only an injury or sending off from seeing Do...

Re: Inadvertent game changer

I'm not disagreeing with the general observation here, but a couple of points. Pompey have already played this way this season. Most notably away to Wigan, where (apart from not creating too many chances) they looked in a different league for 60 minutes, and were unlucky to lose 1-0. Then there was ...

Re: Sunderland

Quick notes. Well, that was unexpected. Basically, one team wanted to be out there and the other didn't. As a result Pompey could play the game in the Sunderland half, and if you do that under today's conditions, things will happen. Maybe if it had been 0-0, the ref might have called it off, but at ...
