AI is a load of bollocks isn't it

Spine of the side has not been addressed, lack physical presence in midfield, GK is poor , we're going to be relying on scoring a lot of goals again like 23/24 as there won't be many clean sheets Not sure if Still has worked out who will play up top, Archer seems to be best option but needs support and someone to create space for him, no point playing long balls to him Lots of new faces only time will tell if Still can make a team out of them. Overall window 5/10

Every time we played Ipswich he'd be banging on about being a childhood Pompey fanatic, can definitely see where this is going

ASSET STRIPPING FIRE SALE

Another proud day for the club (accountant) Stick it up in the trophy cabinet *we've spent a lot more than that though

To be fair we play twice a week often in the championship and have a nice carabao cup run so plenty of chance for players to get minutes

Stop it

Paris is a truly awful place, horrible

Agree with that, we've signed some decent players individually but we'll take a while to see if they have the right parts to make a decent team

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bazunu-portsmouth-goal-man-city-21883122 Manchester City goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu has been told by his manager to expect more mistakes after a high-profile error in Portsmouth's 4-1 defeat to Rotherham on Saturday.

He'd had a season at f'king Rochdale and player of the year at a poor LEAGUE ONE Pompey, was never worth the fee we paid. Should have been a £1M gamble Don't blame Baz himself at all, it's the wallies who bought him and continue to persevere with him that deserve the criticism

Never mind "long balls" we're building our team around crosses into the box, who's getting on the end of those?

Just a shame one of us, Ipswich or Leicester hadn't done better last year, would have loved to see Spurs or Man Utd relegated

We can't afford another September like that, at least then we'd had a good August and taken 10 points from first 4 games, double what we've managed this time 😞

He's been unwell hasn't he? Anyway I think Juric will be well remembered by Saints fans for persuading his new club to pay decent money for Sulemana

I remember that, weren't our fans chanting sign him up then he shouted that and completely killed the moment. I was there, remember he was booed when he did it

Could be the end for him today if Rangers lose badly to Celtic.

Jones did very well to get Charlton promoted, the fans like him, he's got plenty of goodwill in the bank, target is to stay up this season, I just know he'll get one over us.

Sheffield United fans didn't want Selles to start with , there was an outcry when he was appointed and has since lost 5 games out of 5, I think his days are numbered there.

But I thought posters on here kept telling us it was getting harder and harder and only a matter of time until a team beats Derby's record? Leeds and Burnley giving it a good go as well. Our effort really was beyond shameful last season

He was good in our last championship season and I remember most fans were pleased when his signing was made permanent There's been a few odd moments with him though, he hadn't been too keen to join if I recall , Martin had to persuade him and it dragged on for a while, the whole raw chicken thing, then tried to force a move to Ipswich, fans will always question his commitment after that.

Well said mate. Let's hope there's some strong characters in the dressing room ready to stand up and be counted, I'm sure any fan who has bumped into Will Still has let him know what's expected

Winds ups have already started, been sent this by a skate parent from my kids football team, they're enjoying their moment

You'd have thought Sports Republic turning us into a midtable championship side would wipe the smirk off your face, seems not. Fact is we lack balance, spine of the team continues to be weak
