OMG what are we doing !!!!!!

 

[Thrice]

Next Portsmouth goal seems inevitable at this point.

Horrible game defensively.

 

[HarryHaslam]

Choudhury is playing as a CB in a 3.

He is only in the CB spot when he’s trying to get the ball off the keeper or CBs, if he doesn’t get the ball he’s basically out of play as he just trots about. If he does make forwards runs but doesn’t get the ball again he stays out of position and just trots back. I’ve been watching him closely and time and time again in the middle of the pitch/centre circle we don’t have a player near it as Sousa/Hamer will be getting involved slightly out to the left and Choudrey is trotting about slowly near the CBs. He really is leaving big holes and space in the midfield for pompey to exploit. And if he does get a foot in it is because the ball happens to come very close to him as opposed to him getting there and breaking play up, other than that I’m not sure what he’s doing just trotting about, even for their goal positional im not sure what he’s doing, trots out towards the wide man without really trying to get there and he’s totally took himself out of the game. He’s been really poor for me. Well they all have to be fair.

We've said the same about Brewster for 4 years ...Cannon doesn't run or do anything, he is another Brewster ... watch him FFS

Maybe..playing this way he will be

 

[paidsy]

Amazing decision to hand out a 3 year extension. Absolute fucking nonsense

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Glad to see the half time team talk woke the players up.....wholly sh1t.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

We are being run ragged

 

[paidsy]

Put the front door after the game please Chris. Thanks but no thanks.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

If you want to play a formation that uses wingers, sign some ****ing wingers. If you don't have any wingers then change your goddamn formation to suit what you have. This constant disjointed square pegs in round holes resulting in a crap toothless performance is really grating on me now. Drop this 4-2-3-1 and start playing 4-3-3. This isn't working and, results aside, hasn't been working all season. Our luck will run out along with my patience. Wilder is stubborn and we have 0% chance of staying up next season under him.

 

[Sheffsteel]

OMG what are we doing !!!!!!

Lucky that their goal was offside.
Every time they cross a ball our defence panics.
Probably our worse display of the season .

To be honest…second half it’s all Pompey.
Think they smell blood.

 

[The Darton Blade]

Massive mistake giving Wilder a contract extension

 

[john Mathison]

If we play like this against Boro and the weeds, it will be all over after 20 mins.

 

[Sydney Blade]

No marking for corners. Two on the bounce choudary points at unmarked player then stands like a statue watching them attack the ball.

 

[paidsy]

Massive mistake giving Wilder a contract extension

Will have had a massive impact on the future of the club.

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Maybe..playing this way he will be

Diaz and Campbell up front with someone who can play as a winger is surely the way to go..????

 

[Jan Age]

So when will the penny drop ? Results have been masking performances all season but you’re not allowed to say that

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Fcking change it wilder

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Not one of our team four can say they've had a decent game up to now.

 

[toledo]

I cannot believe I am seeing this performance ….. utterly depressing…

 

[Sydney Blade]

Choudary looks disinterested (case in point that block in the 6 yard box). Hook him now.

 

[Thrice]

Why is Gilchrist not in the squad? Is it because of the loan restrictions?

He should be in for Clarke by now.

 

[HarryHaslam]

Sousa back in his normal role and Peck for Choudrey.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Diaz and Campbell up front with someone who can play as a winger is surely the way to go..????

You know it, most on here now it. Those in charge however

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Where are the subs Chris? It's clearly not working, isn't that the point of having strength in depth

 

[BangorBlade]

Choudary looks disinterested (case in point that block in the 6 yard box). Hook him now.

I'd get peck on for him at least hes combative

 

[paidsy]

If wilder had any amount of integrity left he’d resign for the good of the club. But he didn’t last time so doubt he does now

 

[Sheffsteel]

Are we playing the French national side?

They are all over us. Every lose ball is going to their player. You sense a goal is coming for them not us.

We need to make several substitutions before it’s too late.

 

[toledo]

Absolutely unbelievable …..

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

We've not played great all season, but how the fuck have we regressed to whatever this shit is

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Are we playing the French national side?

They are all over us. Every lose ball is going to their player.
You sense a goal is coming for them.

They do look like the froggies. Any one told Wilder it's Portsmouth?
