Clearly Fellows was trying to win the ball that he was entitled to go for!

This is the CV for Pompeys reserve keeper who played most of the game, absolutely criminal that we didn't even test him

That Martin side of 23/24 managed to score loads of goals whilst also missing loads of chances, Armstrong definitely benefited from having Adams alongside him , perhaps Aribo, Stuart Armstrong and Brooks were better at unpicking defences, just need to find some balance to the team

Hard game to predict, don't know a great deal about this Hull team. They've had a mixed start to the season like us and sit one point below us. Lundstram is a good midfielder and you can guarantee McBurnie will be a handful for the defence , we should have more quality but no indication yet that we translate that into a team. Hull have conceded quite a few so gives us hope

They could still be paying him under his last contract, he only lost his job a couple of months ago! That's crazy, but he will improve them

Yeah there's a real lack of inspiration, if we were playing well but just failing to convert chances you could say we just need to click and it will be alright, but instead we look clueless throughout the pitch and it's really hard to see where the goals will come from, as Benjis post shows we seriously lack a goal threat from open play

Doesn't really make sense does it, that video hints at corruption but no details to go on , we could do without another case similar to Gao though , need him focused on making the best decisions for the club

I really hope he gets us going, would be nice to have a manager we can all get behind, but completely agree with your post. I don't really follow Begian or French football but not sure what Still really achieved for us to look forward to. What is his style?

Yes but they certainly celebrated at the end as if it was a win , all about perspective I guess

I think the tv cameras picked up on him doing his dance during one of those awful light shows and since then he positions himself for maximum attention, it's quite sad, don't know the guy I'm sure he means well but he seems to have become our sex offender equivalent fan

I think anyone who has watched us this season and paid a passing interest in Skates games would have expected exactly that, they are above us for a reason, but anyway irrelevant it's a local derby against a team we sing about constantly, finally get them at St Mary's and people stand there is silence most of the game , poor effort whichever way we look at it

Think that's a fair assessment, People kept proclaiming Roerslev is a good signing due to his Premier league experience, but we can point to other players who had plenty of that who were no good. He was disappointing, James Bree looked better for Charlton yesterday vs Millwall

What was this about? Didn't notice during the game

Fucking hell is he that desperate for attention? Deary me

First time we had played them at St Mary's for 13 years, got the impression from some fans around me they don't even know it's a rivalry, perhaps haven't been going that long and just don't understand it.

I think he's got a problem as has no idea how to set us up as a balanced side, just throw on loads of forwards towards the end of a game but tactically we fall short, lack of balance throughout the pitch and for me we've been very easy to defend against all season, I know it's a persona but the way he shrugs his shoulders in press conferences he looks like he doesn't really know what he's doing and is out of his depth

Archer tried making lots of runs but we had no one near him to create space or pick out a decent pass, Still is looking more like a Championship Manager kid blagging his way in the professional game every time I see us. He's inexperienced no matter what people say about Belgium and France, it's not the same!

I understand what you're saying, but that's not how it works in derby games , hardly a peep out of people near me who couldn't wait to head off on 89th minute , big let down

We have so many fans who seems scared of their own shadow, fuck sake , sit down, clap politely, leave early, beat the traffic, get to fuck for games like this

I'm sorry not fair play to them. That's exactly how we knew they'd play or should have known if we'd watched any of their games, looked completely unprepared and fucking clueless how to break them down, no excuses STILL

Let's be honest, any ball above head height going forward is an absolute waste of time for us, felt sorry for Archer stranded up front with no one getting near him, so so fucking easy to defend against. Good lesson for some of the knobjockeys on here going on pre match about us having "better players" so rightly favourites- bullshit, still no sign of us being a cohesive TEAM , forget the transfer fees, until they evidence we've actually put a team together there's zero reason for us to have any confidence in them But but look how much money we spent..... means fuck all Other moan today, old bill as usual on our side of the divide, final whistle skates giving it the big one chucking coins etc, couple of Saints react and get pulled by the cunts desperate to make an arrest, we get fucked over all the time Overall our fans were massive disappointment today, sing all the time about hating Pompey, actually play them and let's be honest atmosphere was shit most of the game

Got to agree with all of that. It was a very poor performance and so far this season Will Still looks very naive tactically Skates had reserve keeper in, no idea if he's any good as we never actually had a shot on target at him

Up. Showered. Dressed. Can of fosters over my corn flakes. In the words of Fabrizio Here We Go!

Are Swansea still trying to get more compensation for us taking him off their hands?

Problem Selles has is fans didn't want him when appointed so he needed a good start to win them over, think any chance of that has gone now
