Ok, time to stop weeping and wailing, feeling sorry for ourselves. Need to get behind the lads for this final push. We need to score early and take control, none of this 'a point might do us' bullshit. I'd be inclined to start the likes of Palmer and Lincoln because they do seem to have a bit of something different about them, a bit like Amrabat has shown recently. But it's up to Selles to make it clear what's needed. Can he do that? I don't know but somehow the shackles have to come off and the lads have to be braver. UTT!
No one is paying more than about 200k for Burstow, we'll not see anything like our money back on Puerta either......4m Giles back in the mix as well as the expensive Omur coming back as well, oh dear, oh dear oh dear we are in trouble
We go 2-0 up, Bristol City saving themselves for the playoffs, West Brom, don’t even bother with them, the we lose 3-2 anyway.
It starts with the manager. He hasn't ONCE said, 'thats down to me' ... all this vertical football bollocks.. even in his interviews for as much as English isn't his first language he's about as inspirational as cold lumpy custard. The other thing is, dont you think that every other club all the way up to Stoke won't be getting an inspirational team talk.,
The one thing we’ve said for ages is “we can’t go to pompey needing a result” Guess what, here we are. With a team that couldn’t score in a brothel
Unlike us, Portsmouth are good at home. They’re unbeaten in the last four. We’re ****ed. Sorry, lads. I just don’t see it.
Forget shooting practice next week, give it up as a waste of time. Training should concentrate on diving in the box to get a penalty.
Doesn't matter what anyone else does in terms of talks now and their results don't effect us either. We need to go and win - show some ****ing bottle for once. If they actually manage it somehow then we survive. It's that simple. **** playing for a point and hoping for other results to help us. We'll lose again if we play that way anyways. After the **** we've been served up we need to save ourselves with a win. No more aimless long balls, no more passing to the opposition, no more standing there hiding from the occasion and no more constant safety passes. Step up, to a man and give it everything - be brave, make runs, play to those runs and win the goddamn game.
I've spent a working lifetime dealing with ****storms. With senior managers who had much more skin in the game than I did, but nowhere near the ability to sort things out, screaming 'solve this ****ing problem NOW'. 'We're going under. I can't cope.' So here's all I ever said. Go home. Sleep on it. It'll still be here in the morning. Ok? Feeling a bit brighter? Let's remember that there are no problems, only solutions. (Thanks John Lennon, you bailed me out of several difficult situations. It always made me laugh when panicking execs said Ernie knows what he's talking about). Ok. What can we control? Got that? Then let's throw all our resources at that. This is the Exit Strategy. Understand it. Implement it. Talk with one voice. Make sure your actions look positive. We'll focus on this. We'll sort this. We'll win this. Then having created as positive a can do atmosphere as possible, retire to a suitable distance, cross your fingers and hope.
Does anyone remember the dark days in the 90’s, we didn’t expect much. Just the odd win, avoid relegation, the odd protest and even to be locked out of our ground. I never remeber seeing a team so poor at going forward and watching thinking the best we can hope for is 0-0. How are we so poor, why can’t we take corners, why do our shots come down with snow on. acuns spent millions to make us as bad as a Dolan or Hateley side
I think we all know as city fans it was going to come down to the last game it's the city way. Dreading it and forsee another loss hopefully our better away form prevails and we stay up.
