What's Torp doing there? Time to bring the ball down and just heads it to nobody

I honestly think Collins is the worst keeper we have had since Chris Dunn. He started okay but has been pretty awful for too long. I still don't know what Dovin has done to warrant not playing. I got it with Wilson who has proven semi competent over a period. Collins hasn't.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

You haven’t been watching the same game as me then

Best player EMC

 

[HadjiChippo]

Sheaf’s picked up last 5 minutes, worry he’s trying to do too much though

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Good turn by Sakamoto

 

[fatso]

Bassette needs a strike partner, he's too greedy at present and needs an experienced head alongside him.

 

[jordan210]

What this game needs is a goal keeper injury

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

the wind is the extra player for Pompey

 

[StrettoBoy]

The bad news is that, with our defence and goalkeeper, we may need to score five to win

The good news is that, with better finishing and a little bit of luck, we are capable of doing it

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

If I see that twat in goal for us again I’m going to explode. He’s not even Sunday morning village standard. We’ve had some shit keepers over the years but by a long way Collins is the worst. I look away when they get near our goal

 

[Marty]

There's only so long he can be given this run in the side

Only forward with something about him. Simms is too passive and BTA is a league one player.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Bassette needs a strike partner, he's too greedy at present and needs an experienced head alongside him.

How do we play a strike partner but Sakamoto and EMC too?
Go 442?

 

[HadjiChippo]

Tonnes of space too, infuriating

 

[mark82]

There's only so long he can be given this run in the side

He's been good today?

He definitely needs to improve his finishing though.

What this game needs is a goal keeper injury

A legit one for us, not just a tactical chat.

 

[b12345]

Ref doesn't have a fucking clue, just let their RB walk literally a quarter of the length of the pitch on that throw

 

[jordan210]

The ref does know he is allied to give free kicks

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Can we sub clown Collins now with Dovin?

 

[shmmeee]

Refs giving us nothing now

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

What this game needs is a goal keeper injury

A real one to Collins ideally

 

[Evo1883]

I must watch a different game to some because bassette has been very good today , causing them absolute nightmares

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Bassett cheating by falling down every time he gets the ball is also doing my head in, it’s fucking embarrassing

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Ref has either decided to let a lot go or he’s just blind

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I must watch a different game to some because bassette has been very good today , causing them absolute nightmares

He thrives against the high line

 

[fatso]

How do we play a strike partner but Sakamoto and EMC too?
Go 442?

Yea, 4-4-2. Simms on for Torp.
Sakamoto and EMC will have to tuck in as required, so we don't get out numbered in the middle.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Yep agreed. It was a good call by Lampard, cannot imagine Simms capitalising on their high line like Bassette has

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We’re not using our right side at all

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I must watch a different game to some because bassette has been very good today , causing them absolute nightmares

People have decided they hate him for some reason

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Yea, 4-4-2. Simms on for Torp.

Rudoni and Sheaf as a midfield 2 is a recipe for disaster

 

[gspotgaz]

Such a frustrating game so far as they are absolute shite

 

[shmmeee]

It’s not just that they’re poor defensively, but the balls out of defence are consistently awful and out us under pressure. What happened to sheaf coming back and taking it?

 

[fernandopartridge]

We've settled down a bit now. Not got Saka or mve in the game at all. Saka too often away from home just isn't involved.

 

[Evo1883]

People have decided they hate him for some reason

When was the last time we had such a talented 20 year old striker

 

[Ccfcisparks]

When was the last time we had such a talented 20 year old striker

Ponticelli and Tavares

 

[fatso]

Rudoni and Sheaf as a midfield 2 is a recipe for disaster

You could aways replace either with Eccles.
