It's that boring on the radio, not sure I could stand the excitement of watching it to

Should have put tudgay in then

 

[sw88]

Ricketts get forward looks to foul but ref says no (again looked to his Lino first), Tudgay and Thomas in front of him, he delays the pass despite Tudgay being unmarked, plays it to Thomas by which time he's offside

 

[Nick]

They are actually awful, keep kicking out out play.

We need some pace to take advantage.

 

[ccfcway]

I don't mind losing to a League Two pompy in this cup as we aren't a full team yet, but not happy with.....

Tempo can certainly be upped...

Anyway of muting it?

 

[Nick]

Tm needs to change this

 

[Skybluenutterman]

Don't worry everyone. We will lose every game before the end of August but we'll have a team by then

Sounds like a crock of shit and I am so.looking forward to Saturday. This is pompeys reserve team we are only a couple of player's short.

 

[MatthewWallis]

George Thomas is way too slow and too weak to be effective in any way. Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't score a goal all season.

No one seems capable of thinking of looking to the side, if they Rose would've been in acres of space dozens of times

 

[coop]

We are slow and predictable same as second half of last season I do think TM is slowly loosing the plot .Saturday after the match he said they must of watched us play and matched us wtf no money available no plan b.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

We shouldn't throw the cup away, it's revenue, and it's a chance to play a bigger team.

Pompey might be playing their second string team, but ours is pretty much full strength. A defeat would be pretty embarrassing I think.

We sound like we're being out paced and out muscled on everything.

George Thomas is Dog Shit

If you want a Thomas we've got one to spare In our Coventry home................

 

[Great_Expectations]

Poor performance. Few moments of intricate passing, but I literally mean a few.

Stevenson looks composed but lightweight, Vlad looks like he could run a game but not involved enough, Harries was looking good but a few silly errors in the last 10/15. Lameires is trying but he needs movement around him.

Thomas is awful, Haynes is getting consistently skinned, Rose is an outlet but can't do much with it.

No idea what out tactic is.

Not excited for Saturday, but a few signings may change it all....

 

[sw88]

Well I personally think we should be concentrating on the league anyway

I will be very concerned if we allow both Connor Thomas and Adam Barton to keep a clean sheet against us though!

[QUOTE ="ccfcway, post: 1135230, member: 1998"]We cant afford to, but its where we are and people need to both accept that and get used to it. get there early ![/QUOTE]
The problem is, the more obstacles someone faces, the more likely they don't bother. Not bothering sounds like the right decision.

 

[robbieray]

Same old story then

 

[skybluejelly]

Think jones is coming on .. Long warm up .. Then gone in early

If anyone fancies our chances 6/1 on sky bet

 

[sw88]

Almost feel like this is an extra pre season fixture for Pompey against lower opposition

 

[Otis]

It's not simple actually - the club were berated for not using ticket master and now they have. If you have a concert which hasn't sold out you can't pay on the gate. Go to a theatre - can't come in a minute to go and expect to get in. Your comparison is shite really.

Don't think too much of your comparison either, Grendel, cos historically for football matches you have been able to pay on the gate and on occasions such as this you more often than not can pay on the gate.

 

[coop]

Why does he not give reid a game needs match fitness

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I'll say this again but George Thomas is woeful. He just isn't going to make it in this league.

He really needs to drag him off, can't even blame sisu when there is reid and Jones on the bench

 

[stevefloyd]

Defence looking suspect with Haynes and Harries aka the howler twins.. Lameiras is just too slow as is the slug we have up front albeit a fattish slug. GHADZEV SPRAYING THE BALL ABOUT well ...poxy cap lock.. stevenson doing ok but bloody hell we have no cutting edge needs a change maybe reid and jones for thomas and lameiras

 

[Nick]

Jones coming on

 

[Nick]

For Thomas

 

[Otis]

I'll say this again but George Thomas is woeful. He just isn't going to make it in this league.

I have only seen him as all huff and puff and lots of effort and not a lot else.

Such a shame as I do so want him to come good.

 

[skybluedan]

Right been busy what have I missed?
Sw88?

 

[stevefloyd]

Good call

 

[SkyBlueZack]

Am I in some alternate universe where we're not actually in League one with no money and owners that have lumbered us with debt? I don't get this only able to attract players at the end of their career or youngsters. How is that different to any other League one club?

 

[sw88]

Jones on for Thomas. Right call

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

The crowd is so quiet you can literally hear just one bloke having a meltdown on the radio.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Be absolutely pissed off to go out of yet another cup competition in the first round. We ain't going challenge in the league so let's try and have something to cheer ffs.
