Yet some fans think staying in the championship is a good thing .

The aim at the start of the season may have been a promotion challenge, the realty under Still is we are a lower mid table side and at 2 pm today will sit 17th in the championship. After 11 games Automatic promotion has gone and a play off chasing chances are dwindling fast. Unless anything drastically changes we’d do well to get to 20 points from 15 games. I’m assuming that after spending £60 million the target for Still would have been promotion he’s failing fast and it’s going to be When he gets the sack not if.

For a lower mid table side going away to a relegation threatened side a point is a good result. Good goal from Armstrong but after that we let Derby back in it and if it wasn’t for McCarthy we would have lost.

We maybe in one if we lose both. However, if we did manage to win them both that would give us 13 points after 9 games, virtually the same as Martin got after 10 games. Personally after 7 games we look like we won’t be in a relegation scrap but neither are we going to be challenging for the play offs.

Crucial 6 pointer ( the 1st of 2 this week) win and we can pull way from the bottom 3 lose and we will be right in the relegation mix . Very glad they won yesterday otherwise it would have been banker they’d have got it Tuesday. Tough game I’d probably keep the same side, hopefully get at least a draw.

Those hoping we don’t go up this season are going to get their wish.

A lot depends on what the fans expectation are for Still and the team this season . Mount a serious play offs challenge. A season of mid table consolidation. Avoid relegation. For myself I think we should be looking to mount a play offs challenge, not necessarily get in them but at least finish within 3 points of 6 th place. I’ve seen nothing to suggest under Still we will achieve that so we get rid now, the problem is that Dragan and co will just appoint another dud . We are quickly becoming another Watford and having 2 managers a season. All because Dragan and gang do not seem to have a clue. if the aim is to have a season of consolidation and mount a play offs challenge challenging next season, then I’d still get rid but again we’ll just appoint another dud. If fans are happy to just bobble around lower mid table avoiding relegation then you might as well keep him .

Spoors is just another, in a long line of duds, appointed by Dragan and the clowns.

Yes, we will learn a lot in the next couple of games if we can mount a play off challenge. So far you have to say we are no where near the level required. Still has had the new signings all week now so let’s fuck the excuses and start getting results.

This is how I see it as well. Nothing in our 5 games I’ve seen (plus Northampton in the cup) has lead me to believe Will Still and this team will make a challenge for the play offs this season. on the plus side we won’t be any where near the bottom 3 either so not all bad. I think Will Still will get the boot at some point this season ( possibly the moment the play offs are mathematically not achievable) the trouble is unless we have an unlikely change of ownership we will just appoint another dud.

Top 2? I’d say automatic promotion was always a stretch to far for us this season. We probably do need to win to get our play off chances back on track however. But to do so we need to show a lot lot more than we have this season.

Bet they are glad to be playing us then - will no doubt get a clean sheet .

From the games we’ve played our play off hopes are fading fast, we look like a lower mid table championship team and that’s exactly where we find our selfs. If you had told me Juric or Rusk were in charge today I’d have believed you . Unless we are in danger of getting relegated again then no real point in sacking him only for Dragan and his mates to waste more money and appoint another dud, I’ve a feeling they will though before the seasons out.

Why would you “ not get away with it”?

No coincidence that when Dragan and his mates appointed Selles Saints went down hill .

I’d say if the recent additions improve the team and Still is a good coach I’d say challenging for the play offs should be achievable . However, we so far look far from a play off chasing team, albeit after only 4 games so I’ll say in the end we will miss out so about 8th.

Harry Redknapp and half the team that played in the 4-1 at Fratton Park in 2005. The game where the “ lets send the scummers down” was born which turned into “ we sent the scummers down “ myth that they still believe to this day.

The trouble with their Myths they've managed to convince a large chuck of gullible neutral football fans that now think they are the bigger club. Even the local tv companies tend to lean towards them . We cannot afford to even draw this, let alone lose.

We shouldn’t even be in the same league as these fuckers , they should always be in the lower leagues . the fact they are in the same league and higher then us is totally unacceptable. Will still will lose a lot of respect if we even draw let alone lose . 5 points from 12 is fucking poor start . Still likes the talk well now it’s time to stand up and be counted.

Not sure why some fans are still worried what Martin does. He came in did a good job and got us promoted, giving us a great day out at Wembley in the process. like most things Dragan and his crazy mates do, was not good enough for the premier league. The anger / questions should be directed to our owners.

Snd he ain’t gone to a big club

Yep they go on sale on Wednesday for them . Allocation of 2700 at £40 a pop . i think they are being charged £22 for the bus .

Not according to my Portsmouth mates they haven’t yet .

Perhaps it’s not “decent” enough for those that were complaining they never get a chance to get an away ticket.

I can’t be arsed to listen to this crap . Its more like the Adam Blackmore show If past years are anything to go by . big introduction by Adam introducing the panel . 15 mins . Someone from the audience will ask a question then Adam will add his opinion on it , then after the answer Adam will again add his 2 pennies worth . in between questions Adam will ask his own . this will follow suite for each question until 15 mins from the end where Adam then summarises the evening and saying how lucky we are the club open up the forum .
