Playing like they did (in the first half) tonight, this side is a starting LW away from being properly competitive in this league - which is crazy when you consider what we had to work with last summer and the troubles Selles has had since. So much credit to him in particular for sticking with us an...

Someone in the know, has Camara been playing for the u21s recently, or is he still broken? Surely he must be due a look in given our problems at LW (unless it's WiFi coming on as a sub to score a worldie)...

Has to be the end for Button. I'd take JP shanking the odd clearance over Button getting beaten at his near post again (and again).
Still yet to be impressed by Elliott. At 21 he's playing like a 17yo - a bit lightweight and clearly not comfortable wide left. His head drops alarmingly easily.

Chiron aren't American from what little I can gather/understand about how they're structured. Which would leave Sports.Com, the Wilfs, or Red Bird Cap coming back as American interest that we know of/have heard about. Minnesota Vikings play in purple, we've got the purple turtle third shirt, so clea...

Likely, given how Kia has been known to operate, that Dai was the face for a group of owners/investors - and, disturbingly, the one they thought most likely to pass the fit and proper test. We've never properly got rid of the Thais, who Kia was also responsible for - being very close to Thaksin and ...

What intensity we had went with the goal. Smith, credit for the header, but he was off celebrating when he should have had the ball in his hands and been sprinting for the half way line. We're not here to draw games, and there's plenty of time to bask in the appreciation when the final whistle blows...

Wasn't CBC touted as the one of the best young keepers in the country at one point? Even if he hasn't realised that potential, surely he can't be worse than Button?

First and third aside, how many times is that now that Button's been beaten at his near post? He really should have seen some sort of consequence after Pompey, but today really ought to be the one that seals (at the very least) some time away from the first team.

Not sold. Think had we held on, we'd have just started our resurgence one game earlier. It was a real low and I want revenge on Saturday. We haven't put in a complete performance and dealt out a thrashing. Let's hope Saturday is the day. Not sure I fully agree - the team that ended that game had Hu...

WestYorksRoyal For xG nerds, does a goal like our 2nd with a few blocked shots rack up our xG? And isn't that misleading given it was one attacking move?

(and don't say I didn't warn you)

Shadow of the side that turned up at Fratton Park on Saturday. Only thing that's the same is Ehibhatiomhan still can't put away his chance(s).

That scramble in the box was like watching drunks fight over a five pound note.

Proper win at all costs six pointer. If we can take the positives and play like we did the first 35 minutes yesterday, albeit with better shooting boots, and we should be fine. Should be starting Smith, w/ WiFi or Mukairu on the left - currently not cray about either option - and bring Savage back. ...

4 shots on target, 3 goals. If CBC really is the future, can we start playing him? Impossible he's worse than Button on today's showing.

Jogging into frame after Pack? Mukairu.
Clearly the last straw for Selles, off for Smith.

HT 1-0 to the hosts. First 25 minutes were brilliant and some of the best I've seen us play all season. We should have been at least one up, and they should have been playing with 10 men, before Lane's effort reminded us that Button really isn't a very good keeper. Mukairu having a typical stinker, ...

1-0 Portsmouth. They've grown into the game, but that still feels undeserved and Button should have done better. Beaten at his near post (again).

That's as straight a red as you'll see. Arm to the head and no attempt to play the ball. Essentially he clotheslined him. Standard of officiating in this division continues to plumb new depths.

That was as easy a chance as we'll get all season. It really is only bangers and own goals.

It's weird that, outside of local rivals, it's fans of clubs like Derby and Portsmouth, who've both been within days of liquidation, who are enjoying our plight/wishing the worst for us. Yeah, it's all banter (ugh) at the end of the day, but there are some people you think would know better.
