    Awful. Just awful.

    Players looked like they couldn’t be arsed.

    Pompey just papers over the cracks.

    Same as last couple of years, aim for 17th. I think we can do it.

    and

    interested to understand how the off field stuff affected the Bompey performance and selection, and Spurs, and waiting g so long for subs and today. I thought we started well today but the confidence isn't there. We hoping the manager could instil some.

    Because I think it’s impacting on Ralph.

    Additionally, Ralph is leagues better than Hughes, but even the best managers in the world would struggle with the squad list we've had in the last 2/3 seasons

    Yeah... not much to say about this game. That performance was relegation level.

    Fair enough. I'd hope he put that energy into managing more effectively. He just had a designer look about hinself, I honestly don't think he wants to be here.

    Think you are spot-on Le Tiss. I have struggled to understand some of the decisions on team selection, timing of substitutions and tactically we seem to struggle to get it right at the start of a game

    we do have problems, but they probably wouldn't.

    I still want Ralph to carry on for the time being but at times his selections of tactics have been questionable.

    How? I couldn't give 2 ****s if my bosses hate each other, it doesn't effect my day to day work and I really can't see how it impacts on his (in)ability to sort out team formation/tactics/substitutions/training.
    I get that Ralph is a lot more likeable than Hughes, but if people take off their fanboy glasses for one moment, are his teams any better?

    As an aside, I can now see why Birmingham were prepared to let Adams go. He's ****ing ****

    I think the biggest positive i have at the moment is that I'll be coming back to the UK soon so I can watch Saints lose at 3:00pm in the afternoon rather than 1:00am in the morning <laugh>

    I don’t think he does with the current top level being so utterly toxic.

    In any business, that level of poison at the top is going to effect employees (apart from LincolnSaint apparently).

    I wonder what really happened with Danny Rohl as well. Perhaps he’d just had enough of the in-fighting.
