That would be extremely irresponsible by the Board, if only from the point of view that Jones does not deserve the mental anguish that he will inevitably suffer. Not only that, but if there’s a glimmer of PL survival hope, not winning this game would surely be the final nail.

It’s a crying shame Jones has failed to galvanise the squad and make it work, but whatever he’s been doing since he arrived has clearly not worked. It would be wrong however not to include Selles and the other coaches in the criticism, unless of course they’ve had no voice in tactics and training which is not what we’re led to believe by Jones. If Jones has been badly affected by the derision from various quarters then we have a clear sign that he’s not a good choice to lead an elite top level football team…you have to rise above that and as someone else has said, have total belief in yourself from the get go.

Can’t see Jones being here for this one…he’s blown his credibility with the squad. If by some chance however the Board decide to let him commit career suicide then it’s going to be an ugly affair with a significant loss. We’re down and relegated already thanks to ineffective management top to bottom in the club, so in some respects the result is irrelevant, but watching the slow and painful demise of my football club will be hard to take. Wolves to win comfortably 0-3 (possibly worse).

We can but hope. There have been some significant managerial appointment failures in the past, but this one takes the biscuit. The due diligence in choosing him was clearly negligent…he’s not ready and may never be. To be fair on Jones, once selected he was not likely going to turn down the opportunity, but then there’s a bit of me thinking he’s delusional enough to believe his own hype. Sacking him will be the easy job…the very hard part will be choosing a competent, respected replacement.

And there it is…player drifts into the area unmarked…goal. You could see it coming. I called 3-0. Jones really needs to go immediately - he is way out of his depth. Even JWP has turned shit under his stewardship.

Oh dear, here we go…Lavia leaving the field and Walcott on means another goal for them.

2-0 down at half-time. Jones you are an absolute fraud. Get out of this club.

Utter rubbish defending. Nobody picking up the runner…again. I’m convinced this is a facet that oppo managers know we can’t defend against. Knew it would come just before half time too. Now just go Jones… you’re a disgrace to the League.

Nathan, with all respect, can I request that you put on a couple of real attacking players? You know, the type that pass to their own players and look like a threat on the opposition goal. Please.

Another absolute shambles from Ely-no-use-y

Good old Nige looking in total control on the touch line.

We’re seeing a fair bit of the ball - must be a Brentford goal coming.

How many more times does Diallo have to give the ball to the opponent?

Ely. Why? Just why?

How great to have our talk striker available for this JWP free kick. Oh.

OMG, how did he miss that? Defensive brain fart again!

Three corners already from poor passes, Ely being a knob and we’re already looking like a team lost.

No. But the person selecting the team and coaching the tactics is.

Don’t look like scoring to be fair. Everton look transformed. Wish that was us but we’ve got numpty Nathan.

Incidentally, Dyche is doing with Everton what he should have been doing with us…making them look a much tougher team to beat and creating chances. Might not last the 2nd half, but I fancy their chances more than ours right now.

Good. By that logic he’ll not get a place in Jones team today.

When you read posters saying they miss Ralph, it really makes you realise just how poor Jones has been. I really have no confidence in us getting anything out today, which would be a massive missed opportunity. Throwing the Newcastle game (because that’s what he did) was not a great idea as it did nothing to bolster the fragile mentality of the squad right now. My prediction for today? 3-1 Brentford.

Just when you thought Jones had shown himself to be the biggest fraud, he reaches new levels of clownship. Sweet Jesus if Southampton University did Masters Degrees in clownship he’d come out with a damned distinction. I’m starting to think he’s either deliberately winding us up or he’s somehow being blackmailed by the Pompey faithful to do his utmost fucking worst and get us relegated. But I bet he feels smug and righteous as he’s got a couple of lackies in the dressing room on his side telling him what a wonderful gaffer he is. #donewithjones

Would the panel agree that the lightshows will provide even better value for money in the Championship, given the cost of a season ticket will inevitably be reduced?

Their biggest positive is Dyche - he will have a great chance to turn their fortunes around and probably doesn’t need new players to do it, hence his appointment. We on the other hand are relying on unproven players and a numpty Manager who doesn’t know what his best formation or 1st team is. And isn’t coaching the players to play intelligently. Before we start laughing at Everton’s plight, I suggest we wait until we’re above them and out of the R zone.
