But we were on top at that point. Sometimes you have to let momentum do its bit. The issues all came from the first half set up.
I fail to see how Swanson, who was on a yellow, who then fouls Scienza 3 times in quick succession, doesn’t get sent off.
The ref was utter garbage.
The game was awful.
But we didn’t lose, which was just about the only good thing from that crock of ****.

Yeah, we just need to get this lot gelling. Everyone wanted a new formation but it will take some time to get that right.
A bit too early for that. Trying to bed in new players after an international break takes time.
One lucky win in five is nowhere near what is required. Even with all the changes that have gone on with transfers etc.
Still should be winning games. He's getting a free pass because of this and it's bollocks.
Still has not had a single easy game. I know we all want to think we are vastly better than the rest of the division, but individuals don’t make a team.
Time makes a team and matches together. Pompey were excellent today.

I am not convinced by him and think he won the lottery, but that is premature mate
That was a hard watch! Some occasional good play but not enough, they were there for the taking 2nd half!
Still early days and need time to get a settled team with the new players. This game came too early for us really.
Main thing is we didn't lose to them lot down the road. Hopefully by the time of the reverse fixture we have gotten into our stride and absolutely smash them!

Ref was garbage, but we just weren't good enough. Second to every loose ball and too slow a build up in our attacking play.
Work to be done

And trying to undo the damage of last season. And the obsession of passi g it around our18 yard box
Second half we reversed that. We got on top, but it needs to be coming from the first kick.
They were tiring. We have loads of quality on the bench. Give them time to make the most of it.
Hardly.
He had to play a different deferent system to that of preseason and general season plan to fit around the clubs transfer dealings.
“Normal” season games start next week I’d say.
I get that, but honestly we had to sub off players who were making our best chances - and I can see why Still was cautious about it.
I think.our expectation is too high. We were 98th worst team out of 99 teams to get relegated from.prem. That is bad. We suddenly not going to be good when it is mostly the same players
