no one wants him sacked, but i think there are a few concerns about the direction we are heading atm. (as a team, not a club) we have an enormous squad and it seems that he doesn't know his best team. Jaidi and Harding just randomly dropped from the 11 isn't helping things IMO. (i don't think they're injured) I'll be judging him from next year though, if we're not in with a shout of the top 2 - he'll be gone.

i don't think the plan is to have AP for the 5 years though, in a wonderful world it would work like that - but i see us going through 1 or even 2 more managers before the end of those 5 years. It's the way of football these days. AP will not have an excuse next season - automatic or bust.

maybe, yeah, but everything was always up in the air this year. i'm not too fussed on missing out of the playoffs this year, all things considered, anything but a top 2 finish next year would be shocking though.

who do you think would be the right sort of manager?

+1 would have been nice to get into the playoffs, but i always saw them as a long shot and a complete bonus. Next season should be fun though.

Oh well, onto the cups! league season is over tbh, still will be content with a top 8 finish though (which i expect us to do) exeter aren't the best team in the world, but they will give anyone a tough game at their place - but seeing as we took the lead we really should have enough in our locker to see it out now. pretty disappointed tbh.

corner saints, coyfr

toally agree about DC - he was completely key to us winning those games 3-1 back in November. what is up with him? no one's ever said...but he's just never in any squad.

exeter hit the post and have a corner just blow the whislte ref, our league season is over.

agreed, i know we have lots of games...but what did Jaidi do so wrong to be dropped from the squad? i don't think he's injured. it really does seem to me that he doesn't know his best team.

good call

looks like we're just holding on for a draw

exeter corner

such non-corners from us, might as well just give them a GK!

Thomas on - james off sounds like we're going to push both Jon and Mills on as wing backs with Thomas / Seaborne and Fonte as the 3 cb's

this game sounds totally dead...

should be 2-1 exeter

strange tbh, although mills has come in and has done a decent job - would be harsh to just drop him.

that looks a bloody good team tbf...

there will still be tickets avaliable tommorow, i'm pretty sure of that. my advise is just to keep trying - it took me max 1 hour. (that was during lunchtime too)

They've just signed Ricardo Rocha too...

According to BBC South today, Portsmouth have signed Manuel Fernandes on loan from Valencia.......whilst they still haven't paid their current players. makes me sick, because he's a top player - they shouldn't be allowed to sign him.

why has it been depressing? we've had the most successful window we have had in years. Pardew said there would be no more business, so anyone who thought otherwise was a bit too optimistic! We've spent around 2m in this window and have kept all of our best players. What more could you ask for at L1 level!

I think Antonio is a dead cert. to sign on a perm deal, he's available for nothing and i cannot see pard's missing the opportunity to snap him up. Papa is a funny one, i don't think he's settled here 100%. He's got the ability, you cannot deny that - but i see him going back to Italy in the summer, can't see us spending the reported 1-2m to make it a perm. deal.

I just think there are some people who just post certain things to provoke a reaction, nothing more, nothing less. I doubt they actually mean what they say half of the time.
