By the looks of him, its a lot stronger than vaping

my guess is glue

30 minutes at Accy Stanley was enough for me. It was the “ dog chasing an empty crisp packet around a pub car park on a windy day. “

[Bbrovers2288]

Are we not sure val is doing his own protest with the team selection? Seems very end of jdt where he was sabotaging as he wasn’t getting supported 

[Tugayslongwalkoff]

Pompey two games in hand and our last 5 games - where we will definitely need points are:

Stoke

coventry

Sheff United

southampton

Leicester 

There is no way we get out of this now. 

[LDRover]

I was very very strong on the terrible appointment of Pissmael at the time but he's surpassed even my low expectations of him in record time.

However, just watch those 2 horrible bastards sack him in the next couple of days to try to take the edge off the boycott.

I thjlink you're being incredibly optimistic considering the last two mamagers have basically had to beg to leave.

Lol that's a fair point I'll give you that, he genuinely looked cooked though. Wasn't a normal look anyway.

Ohashi needs binning 

He has been quite dreadful in the last 6 weeks.

Doesnt get any service 

[1874]

The Goals

A defensive header straight to the leagues leading goalscorer(unmarked)

A hopeful cross we managed to deflect twice past our keeper )Again)

A simple corner routine we fail to defend.

Yet again another team who didn't have to do much to beat us

Positives for me

Atcheson

Jorgenson (in glimpses)

Generally the kids (Powel and Doherty)did alright but are a bit lightweight   yet

Pompey play watford next so that's a start, their next run of fixtures isn't pretty tbh

I think the criticism Forshaw gets is still based on our signing of him when we had Tronstad, Travis, Buckley & JRC that were all ahead of him.

Now, he’s probably the best option to play alongside Tronstad. 

[lraC]

I posted the odds on a Swansea win, before the game and found them incredibly generous.

I know your shouldn’t back against your own team, but it doesn’t feel like my team anymore.

Watford are 2/1 by the way.

I guess someone had the forsight to know most of those were about to leave

 Gudjonson has been out about 6 weeks, since when Ohashi has had to play virtually every minute.

He was combining OK with Gudjonson and they were both scoring a few.

Deserves a bit of slack I reckon. 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Enough is Enough...if you care about this Club,stay away on Saturday.

Rover 'n' Out.

Can't stand TGH. Terrible player. 

Forshaw would be more effective if very limited but then again he'd be injured before halftime.

Well I had City Dortmund and PSG to win tonight

Difficult to see anything other than a loss.

Think there will be a couple of surprise selections including the absence of Captain Todd.

Saturday continued to show we've brought in some real shite including Baradji.

Think Cashin has to play in order to avoid financial penalties - IMO,  continue with him and he'll take us down

Well there you go.

Was told about this yesterday including the fact Cantwell would not even be travelling - heading for the exit door?

Check the timing of my post yesterday  @roversfan99 and tell me if you read about it anywhere prior to my post!  Surely not another "stab in the dark"!!!

I am unsure why you (and others) are getting so precious about what I have said. I am not criticising you, I said fair play for knowing that a signing was imminent, but without knowing the name, that its hardly a massive scoop.

Ismael said pre match that Cantwell was injured. 

May well have done but quite some time AFTER my post at 13:18 yesterday.

If you can find anything anywhere prior to my posting yesterday about surprise selections and Cantwell's absence then I would be amazed.

For the good of this MB, I think it's time you stopped your constant sniping and antagonistic comments.

[bazza]

Powell did very well. Ohashi needs a rest. Baradji tried his best. Tronstad did his usual but needs better players around him.

Someone like Neil Warnock e.g. would get more out of tonight's squad.

I like Atcheson, O'Riordan, Tronstad, Baradji, Powell and Jorgensen.

Then get back Alebiosu, Litherland, Montgomery, Hedges, Gudjohnssen, Miller, Cantwell and Morishita and we might just have enough (under a good manager) to stay up.

Aye, would definitely start on Saturday for me. 

We need experience and leadership on that pitch, also Miller can't come back quickly enough, he'd be my captain. 

[Wegerleswiggle]

No fight, no leaders. If I got jumped in a pub and that lot were there I reckon only Tronstad would have the balls to step in. Absolute powder piss squad we have

Quite sure TGH will join in, but not sure it will be of any help to you.

[Torgeir]

McLoughlin not captain material for me, neither is Cantwell.

Are we zonal marking on defensive set pieces? Never works.

Its getting awkward leaving Doherty out here. Massively out his depth at the moment.

He can't do the basics.

[Blue Greyhound]

Time to boycott Saturday.

 

For many, even if it's just one game, just do it.

[Tomphil2]

3-1 down with 20 + mins to go and he throws on Forshaw and continues his blatantly ordered from above obsession with De Neve.

Tells you everything you need to know.

3 goals literally given away yet again and there are 3 left backs/lwbs on the bench at the start.

Baradji for all his clear ability on the ball is absolutely useless off it a total liability.

No presence in defence again, where is Pratt, what was the new winger cum striker doing there setting up the Swans first goal ? 

No organisation McClaughlin proving yet again and absolute crap signing even worse to replace Hyam.

This team is run by schoolboys.

[RevidgeBlue]

Relying on Miller who is feisty but probably Sunday League standard and Tronstad to have the bite and passion to pull us out of the more.

That's why we're going down folks. For all the talk about Hyam leaving, the player we've missed the most this season is Travis by an absolute country mile.
