Official Match Thread Portsmouth FC vs Southend United

[secondalibi]

That first half has almost questioned my will to live. Total and utter tosh. Yes, Portsmouth are top and pretty decent, but we are so bad that we are making it far too easy for them. We are still lumping long balls to Cox who isn't going to win anything in the air. On the one occasion he got the ball he had zero support. We clearly can't defend, Turner is terrible. I'm pretty sure I can move quicker than him. We can't string two passes together and have absolutely no goal threat whatsoever. And Powell playing Elvis at left back?!?! This is the same man who when he came in to takeover as manager said he wouldn't play players out of position.

Hahahaha what a joker...now brings on Hendrie


Thought he was injured coz surely Powell wasn’t that ****ing clueless?

 

[Barling Magna]

Hendrie on at left back, Turner off. Moore and White now the 2 c/bs. Glad that SCP has used a sub so early.

 

[mattitouk]

Hendrie on for Turner.

Why didn't he start with him in the 1st place?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

So does Hendrie go left back, Elvis to the right...and 2 centre backs playing at centre back....sorry thinking logically.....foolish me

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Should've waited....Barling saw right through it....

 

[Ricey]

Why the **** he didn’t start with that back four is beyond me.

You have to give CP credit for spotting the mistake early - I mean, who would have ever in a million years suggested starting with that back 4

 

[Dubai]

I think we will be thankful this year that there are 4 terrible teams in this league that are already five points adrift of the rest

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Hey ho....hopefully we'll make it / keep it respectable

 

[mattitouk]

Don't speak to soon, Plymouth are making a come back at Bradford.

Edit... Bradford back in the lead at 3-2.

 

[BrettieAngell]

9 points clear of the bottom 4 its not panic stations just yet. Next 2 home games are important though.

 

[Barling Magna]

Very much so. That win v Scunthorpe was vital, now we need 4 points from our next two home games, as a minimum.

 

[ESG]

Why the **** he didn’t start with that back four is beyond me.

And me, jaw dropping stuff.

Edited for accuracy

The only reason I can see for not playing Hendrie is that he didn't fancy him against Lowe. Maybe he wanted Elvis to match his pace.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Come on you Shrimpers..

 

[Ricey]

Robinson on for Bunn.

We’re gonna win 3-2

 

[Shrimper]

Robinson on. Game over then

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Oh my god, Theo on we're going backwards!!!!
