Seeing a lot of slight at Bassette - and he should be doing better - but we need to remember he's a kid and he needs to adjust to this league. He's going to make a tonne of mistakes, but that's necessary for him to fulfil his potential.

Staying onside more is pretty basic to be fair. Giving them endless setpieces is creating pressure on us

Dasilva ain't going anywhere, we gave that shithouse a nice 4 year contract. Who the fuck would take him?

Release him, he’s a fucking joke and costs us in every game

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Don’t think Thomas has done much wrong. Not great but the best out of the bunch atm

 

[SkyblueTexan]

You know that for sure ? Otherwise it's a ridiculous take

Feels like he’s kept more or less the same lineup. Collins was frozen out until Carr took over. Now he can’t be dropped for some reason.

 

[shmmeee]

Not sure I agree , we have weak links sure

Those weak links defensively are all the goalkeepers all the fullbacks and all bar maybe one CB. MvE is great going forwards but this season at least he’s a liability at the back.

 

[alfielloyd]

FL should not be influenced by Rhys Carr and should drop Collins and JDS asap.

Lampard takes responsibility for picking JDS. If Bidwell is fit it is a complete fucking mystery.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

No one would take him not even a league 1 team - absolute criminal signing

Thanks Adi

So you're just guessing then

 

[Ccfcisparks]

PVA poo reaction means he has no arguments to support him anymore.

I win!

I don't think it's as simple as just blaming the centre halves , what did thomas do for either goal today ?? Nothing to do with him or MVE

Collins and da silva fucking woeful and binks didnt react to da silva making a mistake

 

[quinn1971]

Same defenders and keeper, same problems, 2 left backs, neither good enough and 3 keepers not good enough,

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Thomas easily the best defender but has no help
I think we miss eccles as a defensive mid
I like Torp in but we miss his football awareness

 

[speedie87]

This keeper situation is an absolute joke,…….

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I win!

Someone else was throwing the same reaction last weekend

 

[SkyblueTexan]

So you're just guessing then

Yes

 

[skybluegod]

Been the story all season , players letting the manager down

Bingo

 

[TomRad85]

I don't think it's as simple as just blaming the centre halves , what did thomas do for either goal today ?? Nothing to do with him or MVE

MVE is in poor form but him and Thomas can comfortably make up a top back 4 at this level imo. The other side however...

MvE could have done better with I think the first. Thomas fmnotndirevtly to blame for either goal but has been poor generally. Silly rash fouls, giving the ball away in very dangerous areas. He gets a pass cos he’s slightly better than the others defensively but he’s not good enough other than as a young developing player in a better defence.

 

[skybluegod]

You’d like to see something different
Change of shape
Plan
More aggression

I mean 2 of those things have changed...

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Thomas easily the best defender but has no help
I think we miss eccles as a defensive mid
I like Torp in but we miss his football awareness

He’s woeful, can’t make a 5 yard pass and always puts us under pressure

we need a whole new defence

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Wind has dropped now ffs

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Collins being able to launch counter attacks while letting shots through his hands is modern keeping in a nutshells

 

[Evo1883]

Also mate , you talk about thomas but sheaf I've counted 4 times passed to their player in midfield ? These are all contributing factors

 

[Evo1883]

I agree

 

[fatso]

No one saves that second, thats on Binks and Dasilva

The point is, he's so shot that Portsmouth now have the confidence to shoot from any distance or angle.
Collins has been singled out as a poor keeper, just watch where the put the next corner, right under the crossbar is my guess as Collins can't deal with it.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Stupid fucking wankers

 

[mark82]

Well, game over.

 

[Nick]

This is so bad

 

[fernandopartridge]

Could see Lang stood unmarked

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He’s woeful, can’t make a 5 yard pass and always puts us under pressure

Nah

 

[Paul Anthony]

Pathetic

 

[Evo1883]

Ah well , game over

 

[Nick]

Making that c**t look like maradona.

 

[Marty]

Jesus Christ, where's Collins going there.

 

[jordan210]

fuck off collins
