So here it is.

A one game 90 minute shoot out that will define the calibre and geographical location of our opponents next season,it should never have arrived at this but unfortunately we've been ****ing awful and fully deserve our lowly league standing.We go into this game knowing that a win will secure our place in the Championship for another season,it's down to the players to reward the faithful for standing by them during an abysmal season,a win repays us all in part,a defeat would condemn us to inferior football for at least a season,perhaps more...

These players owe us,every single one of us,sleeves need to be rolled up and nothing can be left out there after 90 minutes,it can't be,the stakes are massive!!

FFS,turn up today and show some grit,determination,passion and balls.

Anything less is a kick in the teeth...

UTT.
 
Fair does, you're probably right. I'll remove. Apologies.
Fair enough. Still worried it's got out from inside the club though! Nothing major or detailed in the grand scheme of things and I doubt any "enemies" would have picked it up, but if things are getting leaked ahead of such an important game it's a worry!

I can assure you
Every single club has leaks

Especially now a days with twitter

People get turned on by being the first to break news etc
Likes give a dopamine hit
 
I might be clutching at straws but Pompey being on the beach, us being decent away from home, this being in our hands....compare that to PNE, slowly sinking, garbage form, away to a playoff chasing team, kinda reliant on other results....
 
I don't know why anyone would expect us to rip it up and do something totally different. Whatever our style is, if we thought it was our best chance of beating Derby a week ago why would it be totally different this week? Managers aren't reactionary like fans want them to be.

Yes we're poor in attack, but just doing something different for the sake of it won't fix that.

As much as people want it to be as simple as "we have to go all out attack" it isn't actually as simple as that. We need to not lose the game first and foremost, and with us that almost certainly means not conceding first. Like it or not, we have to be tight at the back today, it's just as important as us improving our attack, maybe even more important.

Thats what i said on last page

But yea

What does going all out attack even mean
I suppose sending more players into the box
Which leaves you massively exposed

If the team rips out everything theyve done over the last few months
We'd be even worse

Some small tweaks here and there at most

Even Man Utd have loads of leaks - though theirs are mainly in the roof
 
I can post a link. But would be no use to anyone, me included, as it is only available to Mail+ subscribers and I aren’t one. They are hiding more and more behind that. The 12ft wall app no longer gets round it or using Reader on ipad or iphone.

I read the article on the app but can't even copy and paste a line from it, in short some players will have been ****ting themselves all week and other will be as cool as a cucumber. Told all players and staff not to talk to the media or anyone in fact, some of those who you thought mates may turn out not to be and the last thing we need in the build up to the season defining game is tittle tattle in the news.
Not word for word but you get the drift.
 
The biggest thing for me is we need to show portsmouth we will win the 50 50s
Subconciously they just wont be up for it as much as if they had something to play for

We need to do what plymouth did against us last game of last season

Isn't "All Out Attack" what we tried under Wally? You know, 10 players up for a corner and leave no one back for when the opposition break away to score :emoticon-0112-wonde

Win the early duels and set the tone

Those tweaks need to be

be brave
Don’t pass the buck
Take the shot
Take responsibility and not hide
Don’t take the easy pass back to your centre half, yes I mean you Steven
Stop their midfield dominating
Win your own battle


Piece of piss

Portsmouth are a very aggressive side
Its why they have 40 more cards

I still remember that plymoutb game last season
Slater pulled out of a 5050 first few mins
That set the tone
 
Come on City!

This is just another key moment in our history and why all follow them.... they will get huge support from our away fans and it's an opportunity for the players to go down in folklore.

up the tigers!!!!

Let’s hope we get huge support. Though some clown of Facebook said there is safe standing in the away section so he hopes the stewards enforce the rules and make everyone else sit down. It is going to be fun at the MKM when there will be a whole 1,571 fans in standing areas and people like that demanding everyone else, remains seated.
 
Surely in this crazy season, with Sky begging for drama, the bottom three can't boringly stay as it is? Surely?

Bloody hope eh
 
I think Stoke will beat Derby 2-1 or 3-1,

Bristol City will beat Preston 3-0,

Luton will draw 1 -1

We will Draw or Win.
