Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Oh dear...not looking like a good day at the office. 0-2

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Another disjointed effort from all of the Reds in a half which saw sloppy marking and poor ball control give Portsmouth a comfortable lead in spite of being a man down !.
No threat whatsoever from the right flank or from poor crosses.
Unless JC can work his half-time magic it's going to be a long second half !..🤨

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Hello Yonmon,...was thinking everyone had gone to Fratton.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Hi John...
Watching the game from my comfy settee and throwing my usual cynical comments at all and sundry...
The Reds really had a weary first half I'll tell you!.
Hope your OK .. no word from Di as yet !

She will have a very stern grumble aimed my way me thinks.I'm all good (scoreline apart) thanks.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Glad I chose a day out at seaside with the wife we are ****e away from home and he picks Conneely Infront of Pell or Liegh mind you it will be referee,s fault roll on next season.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

More static marking from another needless corner John..
Portsmouth must think its their birthday..!:rolleyes:

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

'Needless corner'...Every game Stanley play, I put a lazy dollar on for the match to have 13 plus corners (combined). It seems in most games we play that there is a higher number of those set pieces than most other games on.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Embarrassing -13 goal difference says it all to me we are far from Coleman's good side.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

^$U^%&^$^%$*&( just help yourselves Pompey..here, take a couple more off and rest them, its not as tho you need 11.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Four now John !.. 2 Defenders miss out .. a poor shot.. Toby flaps it into the corner of the net !...
Abysmal efforts from the entire team !..

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

I think theres a Pompey VLOGER who names his channel "Four nil written all over it" which is spot on today (so far).

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

When the opponents get a player sent off it is supposed to be to OUR advantage. What the … is going on?

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Not a good Sunday coming up down here.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

All over !..
One of the most embarrassing ball-chasing, ball-watching , mediocre performances against a 10-man team of Stanley's season to date.
Quo Vadis Stanley ??..:(

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Acutely embarrassing. 71% possession, 25 shots on goal, playing against 10 men and we lose 4-0.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

.Taypot, you forgot the man with the whistle..11 v 11

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

We are going to have a whip round to fund the airfare for AccyMad to come over there if you are not careful K.J. :(

:) :)

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Pompey 4 shots on target 4 scored Stanley 6 on target zilch scored.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

I asked this the other week and will ask again.........

71% possession, 25 shots, 6 on target - v- 29%, 11/4 and we LOSE 4-0?!?!?!

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

‘Fraid not. It was the Pompey fans singing the traditional air “Who’s the bustard in the black” ……

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

i refuse to blame the ref he booked 2 on each side and sent 1 of pompeys off after 21 mins, it was OUR CRAP PLAY.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

:eek:

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Hi yonmon, is your comfy setee in a foreign land? .....I'd have loved to watch from home today, but I'm in the UK......so no ifollow available!

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

It's in Rishton as you might guess...
How ?.. Its a secret !.;)

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Andy,
Give your head a shake.
If you seriously are suggesting that Conneely's selection was a deciding factor in this debacle then my under current feelings of your bias against him are founded.
1 to 11 not good enough.
If you think Pell or Liegh's selection would have made a blind bit of difference ........ then again you were on a day trip so did you watch the game ?

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

1 to 11 not good enough correct seen the goals diabolical defending not picking on Seamus just personally think he's past his best and I think he has been a great player for Stanley but this season,s away form has been a disaster think we have enough points to stay up because can't see the bottom clubs reaching 46+ points so should be looking towards next season and getting games into the younger future generation. Don't take it personally it's just my opinion.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Conneely and McConville are easy targets for majority of our ‘fan’ base. Like a broken record.
Games like this in League 1 need your big game players to step up and take the game to the opposition.
Butcher and Bishop in particular really poor. Hamilton been sloppy although at least he plays with some passion which others could learn from.
Must admit to disagreeing with Coley in his interview. Thought Longelo offered very little.
No idea why we didn’t go to a 3 at the back sooner with Rodgers, Notts and Ross.
Tommy Leigh at RB and Sean at LB. Baffling.
So slow at moving the ball forward. Trying to score the perfect total football goal.
Feel for Jack Nolan. Had a cracking few games in 23’s and now completely dropped from squad.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Like a broken record they aren't easy targets they just aren't like all the others especially away from home not performing and then you feel for Nolan who would step into McConville,s position presumably that's called sitting on the fence, can see a few leaving or not being offered contracts Nolan probably being one and Butcher who is often our best player is I believe out of contract can see unless we have an option going back down South big Summer coming up if we want to remain " punching above our weight ".

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Just surprised we seem to be relying on a holding midfielder or an aging winger turned wing back to be our saviours.
Not seen one ounce of criticism for many other players under performing, most of whom I’d expect much more from than Conneely and McConville.
I’d much rather have Nolan on the bench than Longelo from what I have seen of both.
For what it’s worth, Sean has almost double the assists of Butcher this season than Matt has for the last 2

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

January window 4 signings that were going to excite fans from my own view on what bits we have seen of them not overly impressed with any of them, like yourself I,be seen Nolan a few times in games and he,s impressed me but given no chance at all in the first team, Coyle impressive sent off nowhere to be seen. Has at every club manager,s pick the side has fans when in the main you are winning everybody is onboard the other side of the coin fans criticize but it seldom changes the managers team selection, I fully expect a similar starting 11 next week at home to Charlton will the home form continue to be good hopefully or fans will start to have a say.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Listened to Coley's post match and not a mention of the man in black :)

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

possession does not get you points, its goals scored that does. there are teams that always have a lower percentage of the ball but win the majority of their games. after the donny non event you,d have thought something might have changed yesterday. stanley have got into a 2 team side. the home one and the away one.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.

think the majority of fans who never go away or even watch ifollow for mid week games will be fairly happy as home performances have on the whole been quite decent, its when sides do bad at home but better away that fans will start grumbling more.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

I understand the possession stats. M.H., I was just quoting all of them :)

Shots and shots on target are the ones I do not get, though it is different when you are at the game, as you can see the ones on target and understand the difference in the proper chances and the ones which just tick the box :)

:)

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Think Coley said in the last 3 away games we have had 68 shots that's virtually 23 a game so creating the opportunity to shoot isn't the problem it's converting to goals hence the arguments return to the striker department hasn't been good enough all season even at home goals have generally come from other departments.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

The problem is definitely in the striker department. We haven't found/developed the next Charles.......and to be fair Charles first season wasn't a 20 goal season and he played the majority of the games in that season. Got to give the new lad time........

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Nolans impressed many fans but doubt if he will get a chance hes not RELATED to anyone.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Are you saying what I have heard a lot of fans saying that we have a close circle in the dressing room where newcomers can't breach and some players are automatic choices hopefully not but it does make you think after years of watching similar patterns with different squads.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Just watched some extended low-lights of the game yesterday :(

First goal from our corner!!!!

Fourth goal from our attacking move (we were in their box) and their No7 ran the length of the pitch without a challenge.........

Not good and so disappointing after the great display against Wycombe :)


:)

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Second goal from a corner .... great saving tackle from Nottingham to put the ball out for the corner, but then he had given it away in the first place with a sloppy and infinitely predictable pass across the back :(

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

what i said i think is obvious to anyone i reckon.!

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Hang on a minute. Make your mind up. So now it's not the holding midfielder and the winger who's the problem it's the forward(s) ?
You talk about "broken record" so let me repeat my old 45rpm.
Investment in the product on the pitch just isn't good enough.
Either the budget is crap, or the scouting is crap, or a combination of both.
We've got an excellent playing surface, a nice shiny corporate facility ready to be opened and nice changing rooms being built.
Time for some money to be deflected into sorting the squad out.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

the budget is what we can manage simple as,if some CAN be deflected to the squad its doubful to me if we can afford the wages of a class striker, so we will have to carry on like we are i think.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

The nice shiny changing rooms hopefully open in August replace out of date falling to bits old facilities that had EFL threatened dates to replace a few times are now being replaced and any money raised by new facilities diverted maybe to playing budget will hopefully replace older getting past their sell by date players.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Who is this Nolan people are talking off?

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

This chap :)

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

A decent player who is mainly ignored.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Let's assume every contract expires at the end of the season.
Who's on your retained list ?

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Well could any off our players hack it in the championship probably not any worth money in the transfer market maybe Savin, Sykes so those two I would offer a deal and any young players showing potential Coyle, Nolan Clark those 3 yes.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

All a bit hypothetical really and a view every one will think differently on but a bit of fun moving on now surely this thread as run its course.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Purely just out of interest, may i please ask who your choice would be in who you would retain...thanks

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Yes no problem.
Of the first team squad.
Savin Rodgers Clark Nottingham Sykes
Hamilton Pritchard McConville Pell Conneely Coyle Leigh Adedoyin

Buy goalkeeper and two / three forwards.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Come on then Watchdog who makes your retained list ?

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

What's the bloody hell has Championship got to do with it ?
I said assume everyone out of contract so no fees coming in.
So your list is 5 strong ??

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Buy them with what?:confused:

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

What happened to your bad recruitment policy budget brought most of them in and I presume the scouts recommended them at least the facilities will be up to scratch. Is here we go again your broken 45 record.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Plus I suggested in the January window thread we brought in an experienced keeper and a couple of strikers money talks I,m afraid under 23,s targets turned us down 2 of them for more money at Burton yes Burton.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

some may know the players but NOTHING about stanley i reckon.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

The great new facilities have been built by funds brought in separate from the playing budget don't know how it works but Andy Holt said from the outset that the playing budget and anything in the club is based on income profit and loss, average gate this season has just gone back down below 3000, 2999 to be exact with the five remaining games I forecast that being about 2890 that equates to a average home gate of about 2000. That at league 1 level is nowhere near a competitive playing field in budgets on the field so disappointed has a lot are on here including me with performance to suggest scouting and recruitment are poor want to shake their head and look at the bottom 4 Morecambe, Gillingham, Doncaster and Crewe who all have bigger playing budgets than us.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

So its a good job that stanley have a decent home record. If it had been the other way round the gates would be lower. Really stanley are punching above their weight if you discount all away fans and recruitment cannot have been too bad if the present mid table position is maintained. If the wham was a sell out every home game the club would obviously be able to pay more on transfers and wages. Even with that there is no guarentee of success and anyone who wants it should go to the etihad and the like if you want it.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

unless you want to be in a relegation struggle next season you need a good percentage of this seasons players playing in the next. all signings are big gambles for all teams and less gambles the better for a non gambler.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

But haven't you just said you'd only keep 5 or am I missing something ?
So what would your plan be to get the squad back up to size if the budget cant attract players ?

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Lancashire humour you don't get so you are missing something.

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Whatever happens next season, surely Stephen Sama must stay! :rolleyes:

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Surely a candidate for ‘Captain’!:130:

Re: The down at Pompey thread.
 

Just had a walk past the Wham steel work for new changing room, club shop, office,s and visitors director,s and family area looking a big block wondering what the away end will finish up like last piece off jigsaw.
