I hope I'm tempting fate but I wouldn't have any fear of us clicking tomorrow night, the club as a whole is very low currently; friction and division is rampant between the fans, starting to appear between the fans and the players, probably around in the dressing room, and the feeling toward KJ...
The life is being sucked out of Fratton Park. Just absolute dreadful football and those in the stands are resigned that nothing’s gonna change. Nothing fun about it!
Our only missing first teamer will be MacGillivary - McCrorie’s not been in the side, and Curtis needs a break (although may actually be available due to a weird loophole).
Breaking the Gillingham hoodoo would be good tomorrow!
We have given him absolutely fuck all service tbh. One of a catalogue of issues rn.
Sounds like we deserved anything but the win today, but I'll take it!
With half the police force from Hampshire (and.. Kent??) seemingly deployed for the game what were you expecting, mass brawls? :lol:
You were no doubt far the better side and clinical on the break, but I think you’d be hard pushed to find anyone in Pompey that was realistically expecting...
Could be crunchtime for Kenny tomorrow. Anything other than a win after our start and the Tuesday evening incident could spell the end - at the very least he will have a near impossible job to win the fans back.
Says a lot that our 4th choice striker being ruled out for 4-6 weeks, after being...
From the few chances he's had, he's looked pretty good and has scored a couple (missed quite a few too mind). But as with a lot of the new players it's hard to see their full potential currently as the system just looks all wrong and unsettled. A lot of people want to see him in a 2 with...
Appreciate the support (particularly in the first paragraph :wub:) and hopefully you're right; it definitely is very early still. With the squad we have we absolutely should be up there. Downward spirals (especially when our increasingly impatient fans are involved) can be tough to stop though!
It might still be early days, but it really is worrying times at Pompey right now - something is distinctly not right. The players look confused, off the boil, and aren't playing to each other's strengths at all. We spent up to £2m on a striker that makes intelligent runs and asks for the ball...
Ugh.. that is almost more disappointing than yesterday's loss somehow!
It's the perfect opportunity to give the likes of Pope and Sibley their first go. Seriously hope those in charge have the cojones to start afresh after this series. They've increasingly shown fight but also a dearth of test...
Time to get positive......

Unbeaten? :whistle:
The ripples and then shouts and cheers that went through Bond Street after the news came through that we’d drawn the Scum last night were absolutely glorious. Bring it on! We have nothing to lose.
FWIW we did play some pretty good attacking football last night; we’re playing it on the floor more, and slowly waking up to having a striker that actually makes runs and stretches defences. Once we click we’ll score a lot of goals, I’m sure of it.
I’m just beginning to calm down after seething...
Curtis looks completely out of ideas, I’m fast losing any patience I had with him. He’s a cocky diva and that only passes if you have the quality to go along with it. Walkes was abysmal and I pray that Bolton is an upgrade on him otherwise we have a serious weak link which will be exploited...
It was definitely competitive for large parts (end of the first half and second half at 1-0 in particular), but I’d still say it ended up about as comfortable a result as we could hope for. 3 (?) disallowed goals, another blocked by our own player, another cannoned (pardon the pun..) off the...
What the others said is bang on really, only thing I’d add is that I think he’d have been excellent if he’d had a proper starting run, he just happened to be competing with Lowe and Curtis who were both on fire early on. I’m sure he’ll be a good signing for you!
He got injured in his first or...
