It's felt like a long time that we've been in a league game involving a penalty or a red card, hopefully one in our favour due soon.

BAN HIM

[Wanderlust]

The second half plan had better be good.

This is a job for Demps and Vic.

[Rizlar]

Question is have these players got the fight to get us back in this game ?

After going top earlier in the month...

 

Pompey now 9 points clear

Stevenage 3 points clear of us as things stand

Barnsley and Derby juggernauts below us...

Can't be overstated how big a setback this week has been

Looking on the bright side we can go second with our games in hand 

That's all I've got left right now

I'm reading it as Evatt wanted to shut the back door so to speak. Avoid another then maybe have a go later on.

Perhaps seeing the team not at it, so being pragmatic.

Didn't work. 

Maybe they need the input of a sports psychologist. Or two or three. .

[paulhanley]

what a mess

if they come back from this it'll equal the mike riley/leicester game many years ago.

sounds like the ref is having a shocker, aside from the red card. 

 

He's not having a great game, but you have to be prepared for bad refs, freak goals and the unexpected in general - and be good enough to overcome them. We're not ATM.

Bring Vic on to make sure we don’t score ?

It'll be better because that team had balls.

Up until they scored he had been Ok, booked a couple of theirs for time wasting early doors which is unusual. The shit show that's happened since is on us not him.

We are the same one trick.pony we have always been.

I've been saying it for ages. They have the talent but that ain't enough if their heads are up their own arses.

[Arrested development]

This has nothing to do with the ref. It's down to the team and manager. Fuck have they been doing all week. Twatted on national TV and this is the response they give.

It's a shitshow Paul and so frustrating,  I really thought we had got this kind of calamity performance out of our locker . I think Santos getting a ban ( Hopefully 1 game) will perhaps  help to get his head sorted after Monday night's dent to his confidence. 

[CumbrianWhite]

Gomes and Dempsey on please. We need legs.

Well we need someone to do the running and closing down of two now, if only to keep their goal tally down.

[noxid]

Poor back pass from Toal caught out Santos. Toal has no forward attacking skills whatsoever and always prefers to play it backwards. Evatt got the team wrong and Dempsey should have started. There's no one taking any kind of charge in midfield and they have not recovered mentally from Monday

Context.

Bournemouth/Luton players off after Tom Lockyer collapsed on the pitch.

Finally we are offering something in attack.

[jmjhb]

Now below Derby in the table, makes our game in hand almost moot

A truly abject week
