Can't remember exactly which one it was early in the season, Oxford or Bristol City I think.

Out of position, misses a header, goal.

Surprise you can’t remember

Bassette scores that one on one to put us 2 up and it’s a completely different game. We’d be 3-2 down.

 

[Grendel]

Apart from when he did earlier in the season for a goal.

This is exactly my point I continually make.

Dasilva is utter shite

 

[Perennial Lurker]

We went too direct after Norms chance , need to start playing it out to the flanks and get Rudoni and Torp involved again .
These are still shit but we are playing into their hands

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

If we had a decent keeper and left back we’d be about 7 or 8 players higher in the league. These two clowns are costing us every single time they play.

 

[TomRad85]

Very much so but the test is what Lampard does to address it. Surely this must be the final straw for Collins and JDS.

Bidwell can't play every game, JDS is what we have, unfortunately.
Hopefully it's addressed in the window.

 

[CovveeBreak]

I usually like to think I'm reasonable with my analysis, but sorry but Collins has to be done with getting gametime. I'll forgive him the second, as that is on Dasilva, but that first destroyed our momentum, and put Pompey in the driving seat. A confident team would have been unfazed, but we aren't right now. Confidence starts at the back, and Collins ain't it.

How we are losing is beyond me.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I'm fuming with Collins
He is so shit.
An average keeper saves the second.
Most keepers that play senior football at any level save the first.

Nobody saves the second , it's an unbelievably good strike

 

[PVA]

Surprise you can’t remember

I'm not surprised you can't, that's my point.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

We blew having a decent keeper when we banished Simon Moore.

Moore was awful too

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

On Binks, he’s having a mare. Why is he not covering for Dasilva and moving the line?

If I'd let that first in down the park I'd hold my head in my hands

pretty much

 

[jordan210]

Since they scored w have hardly used EMC.

right hand side MVE and sake have offered nothing going forward

I think my nan would save the first and she's no longer with us.

Need to give Dovin, Kitching and Bidwell a chance Boxing day

 

[Grendel]

Give it up, we are continually exposed down our left when Da Silva plays. It's not all on him as a lot of it is down to Binks who has the defensive awareness of a sloth.

Surely he’s trolling now

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Fucking useless shit defenders and keeper costing us again, it’s a fucking joke

 

[lifeskyblue]

Should have been out of sight but 2 dreadful defensive cock-ups means yet again we are chasing a game. We were in control until the Collins flap then dive over the ball. Not going to trouble the play offs giving so many soft goals away.

 

[clint van damme]

We're getting beat by ateam of hammer throwers.
Set piece coach in and Dasilva out please

 

[PVA]

No real chance with the second. The first was absolutely dogshit though.

 

[Otis]

Absolutely ridiculous we are losing and it's very easy to apportion blame.

Bassette missed two absolutely gilt-edged chances and when he missed that first one on one, I did wonder if that would come back to bite us on the bum.

Their equaliser was on Collins. Awful keeping and then their second, JDS was completely powder puff.

We should been winning and will probably now lose the game.

Their tails are up.

Only salvation is their defence is crap too.

 

[gspotgaz]

Has da silva ever actually tackled anyone he just watches the attackers go past him he’s fucking garbage

 

[skybluegod]

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

How is it anything to do with Frank...

 

[chiefdave]

Game should have been dead and buried after 15. As shit as we are at defending a bottom 3 side aren't coming back from 3-0 down.

But it's the same old story. Don't take our chances then pretty much every shot on target is a goal conceded.

I don't understand how people paid a lot of money to coach this side can't see the problems every single supporter can from the stands. It's not like we've got injuries or no players to come in at certain positions.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

On Binks, he’s having a mare. Why is he not covering for Dasilva and moving the line?

He's another awful defender for me

 

[Cally Fedora]

To be fair Collins was obviously caught in two minds with that grass cutter. Didn’t know whether to punch it or trap it.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Torp and Rudoni are not doing enough for us, they've been aggressive in midfield and not matched it

 

[hill83]

Give it up, we are continually exposed down our left when Da Silva plays. It's not all on him as a lot of it is down to Binks who has the defensive awareness of a sloth.

Launch it down our left just above grass height and it’s over.

 

[Liquid Gold]

On Binks, he’s having a mare. Why is he not covering for Dasilva and moving the line?

because he's well overrated thanks to a few nice passes. Kitching should be back in by now.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

This back five is as bad as I can remember. Fucking useless.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Aled Williams turns every goalie into shit.

We blew having a decent keeper when we banished Simon Moore.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Portsmouth have been shit other than their free kicks and corners, and yet we’ve not taken advantage at all - and every time we’re anywhere near the box we’re offside and give them the ball back

we looked good first ten or fifteen playing actual football but now we’re just panicking on the ball and getting rid too quick

we’re not going to get anywhere though if we have a goalkeeper who dives out the way of shots, a LB who doesn’t have any positional sense and a CB pairing who have at least one mistake in them every game… it must be so frustrating for the other 6 or 7 players on the pitch

 

[Shannerz]

Pompey might be the worst team I've seen us play this season.

They've got some battle, but that's about it.

Their defence is even worse than ours, but they do, at least, have a goalkeeper. Which helps.

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

We went too direct after Norms chance , need to start playing it out to the flanks and get Rudoni and Torp involved again .
These are still shit but we are playing into their hands

Play it out to the flanks just for Tats to come back inside again. When did wide players stop taking their player on and getting inside the box
