Im not in the maghoma fan club, he’s ok…. Nothing more. 

Hes the only player capable of something a bit different.

Or we just end up away Barnsley in play offs not scoring or creating till the polar ice caps melt.

Gomes is another… sadly he’s not hit the ground running but I’ve a hunch he’s better than Maghoma.

Individual mistakes by our ‘big’ players have cost us the last two games 

Charles’s miss at Pompey & Santos’s clanger today are examples .

Evatt can’t be blamed for those , however a failure to be pragmatic when the need arises, like changing the playing system/ & giving it a bit of the ‘kitchen sink’ treatment does matter.

Most teams losing with limited time available have a proper go , a point today would have been ok in the circumstances but the way we continued to play negated any defensive pressure on the opposition.The only period of sustained pressure was from the succession of corners , it’s not rocket science.

Agreed, was brought in to give us 'carries' as was CMG. As Mounts says, frustrating with CMG not getting going, he might be good but we're at Xmas and we don't know yet .

Maghoma has shown some good signs, and we do need more who are prepared to shake up a defensive unit by breaking through their lines, end product just the nagging issue at minute.

Wasn’t our best spell the first 20/30 mins of the 2nd half? The side that Evatt changed it to to try and get back in the game?

We had a calamitous spell from the sending off to the 2nd goal, which coincided with the subs.

 

At 1 nil the sub made sense

At 2 def needed charles on

Me, id have hooked cogley and gone 4 3 2

That’s a bit rubbish.

Plenty of credit in the bank for now though.

A rough patch is inevitable for any side during a season, let’s hope this is ours over and done with.

There’ll be a few on here who’ll be secretly delighted that they’ve some proper moaning to do for now though.


WhiteSince63 will need a hammer to beat his erection down after that.

Enjoy your evening lads 😘

Just thinking myself lucky that I was enjoying myself on the Polar Express in Wensleydale with my granddaughter whilst you were suffering another way below par performance. Pompey was more than just a bad result and was a mental collapse too which I felt would affect them again today, which obviously it did, especially Rico. You can make silly comments but you can’t deny the facts. The team is lacking and until it’s repaired we ain’t going anywhere. My big worry is that Evatt won’t bring in that type of player because they may contradict him and he won’t wear that.

Maybe the Madri is clouding my short term memory, but didn’t we make the subs at 1-0?

Or is that what you’re saying at 1-0 it seemed right but then all of a sudden it seemed wrong? 🤣

Fucking hell like I said on t’other thread perhaps I’m better bowing out 😂

At 1 i understood it, while thinking, really?

At 2 it was an awful decision

But, thats hindsight, isnt it

Forrester for Charles was at 1-0. The other subs all came in the second half, before we scored...

I got it. Keep JDB on. He olds it up better. Get another man behind the ball so we can build and not get caught on the break.  And this showed in the 2nd half to me.

They just had a crazy spell with and without the changes at the end of the first half.
