[CarolinaBlade]

God we miss Souttar

 

[fifty shades of blade]

lol yeah right.

Lol yeah, i'm right

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Can’t wait for all the moral high horse pricks to come out the woodwork if we somehow turn this around and start criticising us for calling a spade a spade

Though Portsmouth will probably win if it keeps going this way

 

[Rufus Smalls]

BBD needs replacing second half.

 

[Pavilion clock]

Another shit show, even the portsmouth commentator surprised we’ve not doubled up on Murphy

 

[toledo]

By far our worst defensive performance and we have no midfield …

 

[JayGreen17]

There’s no chance we’re keeping the pace with the top 2 playing like this, we have excellent players so this is down to how we’re set up.

 

[toledo]

BBD is lucky to still be on the field …

 

[utd4ever]

I’d love it

Lol yeah, i'm right

You are right unfortunately

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Very poor defending so far. Lucky we are not behind with chances Pompey have had. Sort it out at HT Wilder

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Should be 1-4.

 

[BangorBlade]

Need to stop there defenders pushing forward, everything is coming through them, we should be at least 3-1 down.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

This half display is on CWAK. The set up and style of play doesn't suit these players. Frustration on the players faces will tell you they are not enjoying this. I realize Portsmouth are fighting for their Championship lives but we are making them look promotion hopefuls.
Half time rethink is needed

 

[LS5 Blade]

Praise the lord.......15 minute break from watching this!

 

[Terry Starlight]

Clarke being targeted here. They could have scored about four. How will CW change things with no Gilchrist/Seriki?

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Bit disjointed isn't it.

 

[utd4ever]

With all this recent love in with Wilder and his great Jan transfer window I don’t see one ounce of improvement.

 

[Chilttheblade]

Clarke being targeted here. They could have scored about four. How will CW change things with no Gilchrist/Seriki?

Yes Clarke looks very very poor

 

[United Aren't Back.]

With all this recent love in with Wilder and his great Jan transfer window I don’t see one ounce of improvement.

If anything it looks fucking worse.

 

[SB_90]

pompey should be leading. missed so many great chances. since souttars injury & we've went back to Robinson / anel CB partnership utd have look so much more exposed defensively. 1 of them got to be dropped

again in attack we are so static, its like we are to scared to pass it

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

The owners imo were far too premature in giving wilder a new contract.

 

[originaltrueblade]

HT shocking in defence they hit bar and had two more chances squandered lucky to be level

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Third game in a row we've been dominated by a relegation threatened team, disgraceful performances

 

[SB_90]

BBD needs replacing second half.

i like BBD, but he letting pompey fans wind him up

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

It pains me to say this but god are we dull to watch. On paper we have a potentially great team but we seem to turn virtually every attack into defence.

Come on Chris, surely you must see this too!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

What doesn't help, we get new signings and we're all excited about the next game. And we get this performance. We don't have kids playing, a full bench, rested players.....and it's still slow and uninspiring.

 

[Jon Bon II]

O'Hare for Cannon surely. I'd be surprised if Cannon has had half a dozen touches first half.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Clarke off for Gilcrest and O’Hare on for Diaz as the pompey fans have got him rattled

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Good news!

The pigeons are in attendance

Tom Cannon 4th from right.
BBD 2nd right.

Gilchrist ain’t in the squad
