Hmm, lets hope it becomes a tale of two halves... We were poor, in that we made mistakes for their two goals and we are giving too many fouls away.. Parky should change personnel, but we will not I bet, until too late, unless somebody has had knock (09)
I think whilst Burge has done little wrong, we'd be far more comfortable and confident at the back if we had either of Portsmouth's keepers.
First real test of the season for Parky coming up in the next 45 minutes, its going to be interesting. We can still win this one imo.
It was fairly obvious that way we play, something like this was always going to come along. You can be strong as you like at the back, but you have to make no costly mistakes over 90 minutes. That’s very hard to do and now we have to turn our style completely on the head and score another two goals to win a game.
We're losing at home and need at least one goal ... ... why wouldn't we bring on another striker ffs.
always figured this would be our first 'real' test, regardless of their past form they are a decent enough team. burge, think he could have done better for the 2nd, 1st he stood little chance but was it just me thinking he was so far away when he did dive he may as well just stood and watched it, still not commanding his area...take a look at the pompey keeper and learn, covered every inch of his box with ease and confidence. wyke, how can he not judge the flight of a ball ffs?...by the time he has realised it is going to go past him and gets himself turned round, the ball is at the other end of the pitch. central, worst performance of the season without a doubt, that said, nowt is falling for us and pompey (as usual) quite happy to keep giving those niggly free kicks away to slow us down...need someone to keep running at their lad on a yellow, he does not want a 2nd so will sit back from the tackle a wee bit,might make all the difference.
Got to give credit to Jackett. They have stopped us from playing and forced mistakes. Parkinson hasn't been great at adjusting so let's see what he's made of, second half.
See it’s not about doing something wrong for me. He just Oops completely unconvincing. As a keeper you breed confidence into your defence. He doesn’t inspire confidence in me!!
Yep All they are doing is pressing us high overloading Leadbitter or bypassing him but Power and Scowen have gone AWOL They bed to tuck in for a while and we need another forward on
Ronan Curtis in the cup final took someone out at the knee. Red card offence and pre meditated. Jacket obviously tells the, exactly who needs kicking
