    Lee Johnson cost us with his pathetic tactics. Also what made him think it was a good idea to bring McFadzean for Diamond??? I thought Diamond was our best player. He is starting to look clueless.

    What was wrong with the tactics? It was ALL Sunderland for half an hour. Tactics looked like getting us a 3 or 4-0 win at that point. Once Wyke scored, bet there wasn’t a soul backing us to lose or even draw.

    Every team we play generally show more enthusiasm to get the ball than we do.

    Let's be brutally honest, we weren't playing well for the majority of the unbeaten run we were on, only Pompey sticks out. We were doing well because our defence was flying but now the defence has descended in to a bag of **** the results have gone missing.

    Lee Johnson needs to earn his bread now and we'll see how good a manager he really is...

    Manager has to take the majority of the blame for the last 3 games. Needless tinkering with players and formation - trying to show everyone how clever he is instead of sticking to the basics. 3 seasons in a row we've ****ing bottled it at he final hurdle. ****ing heart-breaking

    Ridiculous decision from Johnson to bring on 4 subs, completely spoilt our rhythm.

    After that, it was 30 minutes of poor decision making and constant fouls to relieve the pressure from Wigan.

    Good to see wyke score again, will need him confident for the playoffs.

    I admire your optimism but we will be lucky to get a point from our next 4 fixtures based on current performances we have turned to ****e

    We won’t beat Blackpool either. We will struggle to make the play offs at this rate.

    At least he had the balls to try something to change the game.

    Well that was a poor performance, no denying it or sugar coating it. Somehow they need to lift themselves. Players on the pitch tonight miles of their capabilities I thought. Simple things arent being done properly.

    We need to get back to controlling possession in my opinion. Even if it means we keep it at the back and be patient. We seem almost to determined to go forward quickly we force it. Patience and a bit of savvy needed, if the pass isnt on then go back and keep the thing.

    Not giving up though. Points to play for and twists and turns still to come. They were good enough to put us closw, they are good enough to go again. Bit of a reset and lets go again.

    Jones was poor, Sanderson was poor too. You wonder why as these 2 were 2 of our best players.

    Jones just gets kicked out of every game. Yellow card the full back as he should’ve been, it’s a different game for him.

    we also should’ve had a penalty. That , I think, would make a difference and a cushion would’ve dropped their heads. That’s not me excusing the rest of the game, but things like this change games

    I was happy with that team he put out.
    I am normally very optimistic about our beloved club.
    I thought when we started dishing out contracts we may have issues. 14 or 15 games unbeaten. Diamond gets a contract since then we have been pathetic.
    I hope the players can gaurantee another Wembley win this season.
    Absolutely f*cking p*ssed off.

    Surely the tactics got us a 2 1 defeat its irrelevant what the first half hour tactics were or do you think we should stop the game after half an hour because we are 1 0 up?

    They do this to us though delibritley don't they ? 8 days ago it was in our hands now we are going no where, it was always garbage like 2 seasons ago, he needs to get o nein out of that defence, get Embleton and Kimp back play them, rest McGeady for the play offs ? if we make them i could boot them slack defenders tonight after that, te last 6 matches now are virtually pointless but need to win any 2, knowing this lot they will beat Blackpool and Hull and lose the frigging rest. They defended easily compared to us, we are goosed now for this season even if this season called off, they did not give a **** tonight, i might what my season card money back as well depending what goes on in the summer
