Listening to Rasio 5 and the geordies.. I will definitely stick with Ralph

How shall I reply ? With FM like stats .. Passion 89 Motivation 88 Tactical awareness 91 Substitutes 85 ....?

To lose Ralph would be suicide. He is clearly a brilliant manager who is edging his bets a little with good will. He needs our support more than ever and given time, albeit probably 2 years while we continue to shift dross, will come spectacularly good I have no doubt

I have been watching this situation and reserving judgement but it is clear to me that something is running deeper here. My thoughts changed at the fans forum, Ralph looked happy and was clear when he said there would be more signings and the inference was in defence ... only Danso came. I dont blame the current management for this as it was clear that Hoedt, Carrilo, Cedric, Forster, Austin, Boufal, Classie were surplus and then Targett, McArthy, Long and I'd go as far as saying Bertrand were all surplus but the club just couldn't ship them out and got desperate by giving targett and classie away. As the season started and Ralph's right hand man disappeared I watched a manager whose body language looked poor, even his press conferences have lost the energy we loved and all of a sudden it feels forced. The interaction with the crowd feels forced ... the build up to the pompey game he seemed dismissive of the rivalry and the selections in recent weeks smell of a manager at odds with the squad. It's no coincidence that Austin and Hoedt have made noise and now Cedric appears to have gone AWOL. It is clear to me that now is the time for the club and fans to stand by Ralph and long term we will be stronger but make no bones .. it's clear there is trouble in the camp.

As poor as we have looked I think it's hard to see on the tv how bard the wind is behind them. The longer we are ahead the greater the victory will be

Pompey fans melting down that Evan's is not playing. Never bloody heard of him ..

Disgraceful

Awful awful danso looks league 1

Who cant see that danso and cedric should switch. This is disgraceful defending

Danso back in .. redmond starts

Just got home: Gunn 8 .. He still looks timid at times but some good saves today. He needs the fans to give him some confidence. Cedric 7 assured Maya 8 professional Bednerak 8 solid Vestergaard 6 not as bad as people are saying but wobbly at times lacking a left back. Hojberg 7 great leader and tackles but passing was shocking Romeu 7 grew in to the game and did what it said on the tin JWP 7 did what was asked and slipped in to a solid RB role Djenepo 7 yes .. 7 great goal but drifted in and out of the game and was struggling as LWB. Adam's 7 He is good and will score goals Boufal 8 frustrating at times but some of his tekkaz were amazing. Subs were good but little impact Final word .. the ref 10 and the john Westwood song 0

Can someone tell me who thomas wood is and what the story is ..

Zlatan !

John Lewis is the centre is reasonably priced. NCP are no go especially by the university ... very very expensive

1-3 in favour or Saints. Gunn Valery Bertrand Vestergaard Bednerak Romeu Hojberg JWP Boufal Ings Adam's 4-2-2-2 McCarthy Yoshida Cedric Djenepo Long Ndlulu +1

25....

Very good player

What worries me in all the games this season is that we are not creating many chances at all

Is the drawer live anywhere?

Personally, I love the simplicity of our stadium. One level bowl all of the way around with no restrictions.. almost the original Wembley esq

1. McCarthy 2. Soares 3. ? 4. Romeu 5. Yoshida 6. Hoedt 7. Djenepo 8. Armstrong 9. Long 10. Adam's 11. Boufal Subs: Gunn Stephens Hojberg JWP Obafemi Ings +1

Saved a pen

Any links to the game brothers ?

Just got in the car outside the ground. O dear...first 20 minutes looked very good. If Che scores then we are away...but then it started to slip. Second half I thought we would come out strong towards some strong support and it just ever started. All 3 goals were a disgrace and highlight the problems of recent years. Gunn 4 ... poor for the goals and just not commanding enough for me. Valery 5. Tried his best Bertrand 5. Ok. Stephen's 4. Awful second half and moaning and gunn etc to much Jan 4 Bederak 5 apart from the goals played ok JWP 5, nice touches but not strong enough cm against a team like burnley. Oriel 6 solid Redmond 5. Didn't do much by his own standards. Adam's 5 being generous .. should have scored early but looked nervous Ings 5 didn't have much impact but some nice touches Boufal 5 Obafemi 5 Hojberg 5 Weather 0 Fans 8

I can confirm the weather is abysmal .. travel safely
