Cannon doing nothing ... Surely better with O'Hare

That would appear to be the call here

We are getting nothing in the middle

Wonder how long Wilder thinks we can go this time without obvious threats leading to us conceding...

 

[Thrice]

Feels like a Portsmouth goal here is only a matter of time. Practically begging for it.

He needs to recognise he's got the team selection wrong and change it before we're a goal or two behind. Soumare and cannon off for peck and O'Hare for me

 

[espoo blade]

Cheat trying to get Cannon sent off

 

[Shawy24]

Well I think it was a stupid team selection.

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Cheat trying to get Cannon sent off

That would benefit us?

Massive fanny of a player, fck all contact.

ok

Agree

Thought this midfield selection would work in this game. It hasn't

If I can see that then so can he. In which case he has no excuses for not changing it. You can't always afford to just wait till half time for vanity reasons

Maybe it shouldn't be such a surprise here because Pompey have 2 energetic match ready CMs with Adams and Dozzell and also another body in there with Swift

 

[toledo]

At this point this is a nailed on home win… we look insipid

Is he trying to help us?

Burrows tackles and closes down like a prime stephen hawking

Just like Blaster shd have come off on Monday when we were getting over run and it was obvious Boro would eventually take advantage

 

[Shadota]

This is bloody dire. It's as if no preparations were made beyond naming the team - "Just go out there and run around a bit lads". No one seems to have any idea what they ought to be doing.

 

[Thrice]

Haven't noticed Phillips at all so far. Bit of a passenger so far.

 

[Wetwang blade]

Burrows is half asleep.

Playing safe all the time. He wastes all his throw ins and is poor.

 

[Champagneblade]

Pleased someone remind Sheffield United that we kicked off 42 minutes ago.

 

[Wetwang blade]

Apart from Coops, all the rest want a kick up the arse at half time. Feel sorry for the travelling Blades.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Does this all the time he’s got no backbone - just goes in to his shell. Not up to it mentally.

Can't make a sub before HT though. Might hurt the lad's feelings

As if it's Sunday league football

 

[Barnette]

Shocking performance so far. Portsmouth completely outplaying us. A lot not right with our lineup and the hoof tactic is painful to watch

 

[espoo blade]

Massive fanny of a player, fck all contact.

So many diving fannies.

 

[Champagneblade]

We should have O’Hare on for Cannon. The two up front isn’t working today.

Get Peck on instead of Soumaré. We have no midfield direction.

Get Hjelde on for Burrows. He’s another having a poor game.

Sooner we make these changes the more chance we might get going.

 

[BangorBlade]

Our stats are shocking

 

[Blade56]

Another tactical masterclass.

11/4 to 4/0 shots/on target

Bamford, Cannon, Brooks, Somarie, Ohilios Hamer might as well be in the bar

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Soumare more like nightmare

 

[FriethBlade]

Terrible half, on this showing we need to be looking at the distance between us and the bottom 3 and not the play offs

 

[toledo]

Shocking first half.. wow, are we really trying to win this game?
!

 

[10p]

Really stupid foul by Hamer. Why does he do those things when there’s no threat?

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

They’ll score early second half and we’ll do naff all rest of game.
