But I thought we were in our new era?

Lampard picked Binks, JDS and Collins today. He is saddled with some blame.

New era takes time to shape. It’s not an overnight thing.

I’m not a fan JDS and Collins but he didn’t want to change a winning team and I get that. After the performances today he has no choice.

His interview was telling and there will be changes going forward and he knows what he wants in Jan.

We will see

Doug's comment that the deck is fantastic and we don't need anything more in central midfield was deeply troubling.

Yes ..but in hindsight, think he probably parroting what Austin is telling him. I'd say that should be more worrying!...

 

[MikeyMoo]

EMC looked good, Basette, these guys are coming on. Where is Simms though? He was a terror in the second half of last season, don't understand how we've lost him. Meanwhile, when Wright comes back, are the best two players competing for the same spot? Lampard earns his money if he figures out how to keep Haji ticking while EMC continues to progress. Otherwise, Da Silva and Collins did not look good, did they? Don't understand what Dovin did wrong or why Da Silva makes the starting XI. We've seen him play well, but was that as a substitute? I seem to think it was.

 

[Pezza]

The new Rooney…. Frank Lampard ?

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Holy Fuck.

All that effort to get a ticket and then that?! Atleast I'm home. Safe journey back to the SBA. Apart from the pricks constantly vaping leaving me to inhale 2nd fucking peach melba smoke for most of the game.

Met some Pompey mates after for a quick beer who were near the half way line with a better view than i and they said we were passing around well for the first half.

My thoughts....Collins needs to go. His confidence is shot and its costing us. Da Silva was awful, Sakamoto quiet, Van Ewijk poor (again).

Only think EMC, Bassette and potentially Torp did OK.

I can't understand why Bassette didn't pass the ball until the net for his 2nd chance. I was right behind the goal and it was wide open.

Hey ho. Safe travels back to those heading back to Cov.

What a surprise that someone who joined us from St Albans knows jack shit about assembling a Championship 'deck'

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

All this shit about selling sheaf, any ambitious club would give him a new contract and sign midfielders to go with him

Once again Doug wanting to spend money from selling players and not his own

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

Sheaf was very poor. He kept overcomplicating things on the ball, when the thing that makes him so great when he’s in form is the way he does the simple/basic things well.

[bigfatronssba]

he won’t, doesn’t spend a penny of his own money unless it’s from sales, he’s a fraud

You don't half talk some shite

If King was a fraud he would've pocketed the Gyokeres/Hamer money.

Question is competency as much as you want, but to suggest he's some sort of con man is just moronic

 

[covcity4life]

Serious egg on your face today

Why? I said no relegation battle and I expect around mid table by end of January

My mind hasn't changed

Talk some shit hahaha, what for wanting to keep our best midfielder and add players around him? Or we just gonna keep selling our best players?? Do you think king has took us forward then?

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Lets hope that money doesn't get wasted

What we going to get for £500000

O'Hare didn't want to stay. He had the chance to and he decided not to. He wanted to go to Burnley in the summer of 2022 and would've done if he hadn't got injured.

Off the pitch King has took us forward massively

Yeah off the pitch is better with the training ground and the stadium etc…..but on the pitch we’re going massively backwards

What did lampard say after the match?

Sat there on the touchline all match like a pleb

 

[Skybluekyle]

Some people seem to get embarrassed very easily on here. Every bloody thing is "embarrassing".

I am not one to pile in, but today certainly was embarrassing. We got beat by a team who just ran about a bit, we didn't even do that in the second half.

Probably not helping my mood any that my Pompey supporting mate has not let up since half time, and how we didn't even work a makeshift defence after 15 minutes.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Fair play pompy easily best home fans fir atmosphere. Hats off to them.

 

[bigfatronssba]

A goalkeeper that consistently concedes almost every shot on target is embarrassing

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I successfully passed wind in the first half

It was a thing of beauty.

 

[Captain Dart]

It's feels like some players have been told they are leaving in January and the entire squad has been effected.

 

[wingy]

Sorry,it doesn't matter what EMC or Bassette do as exciting as they are with out the experienced players in defense and the middle of the park!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It's feels like some players have been told they are leaving in January and the entire squad has been effected.

Nearly the entire squad should be leaving

 

[Warwickhunt]

Nothing changes
Binks takes an age to get over and Dasilva makes an awful mistake
Think we’ll probably struggle all year as the defence are not aggressive enough
Binks has no defensive acumen how the fuck is he so far away from Dasilva
Absolutely on Dasilva like the first goal is on Collins but we’re going nowhere if we let such chances and goals jn constantly
Bit annoyed frank he seemingly done nothing to change what has been obvious for 14 months

Lampard showing disrespect to the fans..clown went straight into tunell.no bottle to face the fans

I think he was fuming to be quite honest he shook the pompey managers hand and went straight down the tunnel! So either he was upset about the shit he just seen or he wanted a shit! Don't think it was lack of respect

 

[GIMOC]

thats bullshit

Ohare wanted to stay and Hamer but king wouldn’t pay the wages.

now we’ve ended up with players who ain’t good enough

if king paid Hamer and Ohare the wages they deserve then wouldn’t be here now

 

[Warwickhunt]

But I thought we were in our new era?

Lampard picked Binks, JDS and Collins today. He is saddled with some blame.

That's why he took of Thomas

 

[Warwickhunt]

What did lampard say after the match?

Not what he really wanted to say!

 

[Cov98]

I didn’t see the game as I’m working but based on what I’ve read here, and what I’ve seen so far this season, I’d genuinely consider playing some of the youth team on Boxing Day.. even if it’s just a show of bollocks towards these players.

I don’t recall a team so passive and so defensively diabolical since the Russel Slade era. Collins should never play for the club again, Dasilva needs either moving on or moving up to the wing as defensively he’s a complete catastrophe and I wouldn’t play a single one of those “CB” ‘s again.

I’d give Kitching a run out and see how he fairs but as for the rest of them surely not even the likes of Callum Perry from the youth team could be as bad. It’s baffling.

 

[skyblue025]

So pleased I left at 8 to watch that shower of shit. If Collins never plays for us again it will be a day too soon. Doug basically said if we don’t have 26 points by Xmas the pressure increases 3 fold. We’re on 24 points, over to you Douglas.

Does your work involve being in a poorly ventilated confined space using potent chemicals?

Yes

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Has anyone on here got a coaching badge level 2 ? I think you may have more experience than what we have ! Just saying

 

[bigfatronssba]

How much do they "deserve"?
