How many points have we dropped from winning position this year?

Meh

We only concede injury time goals. The one thing that we are bloody brilliant at.

Always against us. Never for us. Funny how it seemed to get worse fifteen years ago.

Sick to the back teeth of the vermin running the club. Just fuck off.

i was`nt hyams biggest fan but selling him on the eve of the season starting was a footballing crime

It was a disgusting thing to do.

[Tom]

Let me guess another injury time where we don’t even force a chance? Yet concede consistently in injury time.

Manager has to go but we aren’t a real club so it makes no odds

Two attempts on target. Against a very poor team. Dreadful. Again.

The result doesn't match the performance - I'm stunned how we've lost this game - but it's the mark of a team going down that they lose games they should draw and draw games they should win. That's been our hallmark this season.

poor team? Their passing and movement are so much better than us. We are the poor team.

No, they are a poor team. Based on their other matches and the views of their fans. They were in the relegation zone for good reason. We have made them look good today. Because we are far worse than them. Charity Rovers strike again.

[onlyonejackwalker]

We had a good 10 minutes after half time then totally collapsed. Too many poor performances.

Subs came 5 minutes too late.

Portsmouth deserved the win.

[DE.]

Yeah, we're cooked. 

[B16Rover]

We've all had colleagues like De Neve and Gueye - where you look at them and think, 'how have we got the same job?'

[joey_big_nose]

We've lost this game because of a maybe 10 mins of bad defending. 

Realy confused why if we were sticking with the formation why we put Pratt on the bench?

Sack Ismeal or we go down.

no point sacking him,we could have pep and mourinho co managing us and they`de still fail,the owners and the abscent pasha don`t want any success,it`s been clear for seasons they don`t want us to get anywhere near the top six,they just keep sabotaging the effort,seems their work is becoming complete,they`ve wrecked us so much we`ll be in league one next year

But with two attempts on target and regular error in defence the likely outcome isnt a win. It is rinse and repeat from most of our games. Im not feeling stunned. Angry. Unsurprised.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I'm not posting again till Monday...totally and utterly despondent with everything about this dying Club,at my wits end tbh.

Try and have a good Weekend all.

[StHelensRover]

Pompey had lost 7 of last 9 matches apparently going into that one. 

[rock steady]

Fucking hell final chance to launch in free kick and Mac is stood a yard offside.

On we stumble.

[Elrovers]

Really poor performance. Masked by the superb ohashi goal. At least we have a free week now. Two very tough games coming up.

We are the league leaders in breaking other teams draughts.

It's the LCB's job that - that's why you have three of them.

OK, but who are we playing at LCB who is better than the one sat on the bench who has done it amicably before?

It’s fucking scandalous. We are throwing points away because we refuse to play a player who we are having to pay anyway. 

[superniko]

I can’t believe people think there’s even a remote possibility that Suhail or Gestede sack Ismael…

1. It will cost us money to sack him 

2. He is a yes man who buys into this ‘journey’

3. He’s clearly pally with Rudy and co. as he has appeared on those videos to the fans alongside Waggott, Suhail, Rudy

Most frustrating thing about that match was how we don’t even lay a finger on opposition in the final 5 mins / stoppage time, not even a sniff of the box, yet when it’s us, we’re collapsing and scrambling left right and centre and dying to concede

I think Gudjohnsen, De Neve and McGloughlin have all missed very presentable chances.

‘If the away form drops then we’re really in trouble’.

Well, here we are.

[Tom]

A week where we’ve played Oxford and Portsmouth….and come away with a single point.

Absolute jokers.

[bluebruce]

You know what...I think I've had enough of this shit.
