Happy clapperShut up ya dick.
Apart from when he played for a top 6 team last seasonHow anybody can say Eccles was ‘excellent’ or ‘outstanding’ tonight is beyond me!
He was ok, but as has been said on here earlier the only thing I can remember him doing is hitting the first man from an awful corner.
He’s ok, maybe just above average, and coming on with only a handful of minutes to go gives him the edge and will make him look better because he’s fresher - bear in mind he also didn’t have 90 minutes against Blues.
He doesn’t stand out, he’s nothing special and we need better if we’re serious about getting promoted, end of.
Nothing against the lad, he’s ok and can do a job, and he’s a good option from the bench but he isn’t going to be playing for a top six (or any position to be fair) premier league team any time soon!
Can we talk about how shit the Southampton song selection is? I’d be embarrassed if I were them singing that Portsmouth song as well, would be like Villa singing about us. And the God awful when the saints every five fucking minutes (when they’re not losing).
Defended well first half but the rest of our game was poorWe are awful according to the majority on their forum, they are clueless.
That's fair, I think.Not seen enough games with him as a starter but based on tonight for me a poor Simms offers us more in this formation than godden still
That sounds harsher on godden than is intended. I just thought Simms physicality keeps defences on their toes even when he's not on form
Its not a football thing, having lived for years in Portsmouth the two cities hate each other, well certain sections of both cities. Apparently all stems back to strike breaking except it appears to be a myth and never actually happened.
They hate drums as well, just weirdHaving worked in both cities for a number of years, I can also add that Southampton seem to hate Pompey more than Pompey hates Southampton.
Although Pompey has it's shady areas (like everywhere really), it's a much nicer city than Southampton. And Southampton folk are just weird.
I agree. It was a fantastic passage of play. They had long periods of possession when they achieved nothing.After our nice move for O'Hare's shot that hit the bar, the Southampton co commentator said "it's not pretty football but it is effective". I disagree with this analysis, I think fast one and two touch direct football is exhilarating and far better than 100 passes gaining 20 yards.

And the goals were flying in from all the ones beforehand too. I wonder how many Southampton had as it seemed loads.Did anyone notice that when Eccles took over the corner duties, it was back to normal, as he couldn’t beat the first man ?

What interested me about their corner's was why their number 3 kept stroking the flag, OCD me maybeI thought Southamptons corners were shit but interesting they took them all short I think
A few more astute signings and next season could be the one.Decent result. Defended so well. Disciplined press. Shame sheaf let us down with an error. One of many. But we were a match for them and wright scored. Good result
We are a decent solid team. And sometimes decent solid teams make the playoffs and get promoted.
Pusb

We are gaining form about the same time as last year not sure how many points we had this tie last season and we had that flop in form after the World Cup break.A few more astute signings and next season could be the one.
Our run started last season after the West Brom game on the 3rd Feb. (Not sure what game number due to WC)We are gaining form about the same time as last year not sure how many points we had and we had that flop in form after the World Cup break.
Using the old football cliche of take each game as it comes and assuming we improve our squad January I see no reason we can’t emulate last season & make top six again this season only 7 points off play-off spots at the moment.
Maybe coincidence but since he’s been captain he looks like he’s trying to find that perfect ball every time, if he cut out those silly passes he’s a quality playerWill surely be rested on Saturday along with one or two others.
Agree butA few more astute signings and next season could be the one.
