If there are 20 minutes to go then sure it's a good tactic. But from 5 minutes in? We're just inviting pressure IMO and making things harder for ourselves.

It could be carnage against an ageing Bruno. Wait until 60 mins maybe but him or Long should come on for sure.

We had Brighton on the ropes, as soon as we scored we went ultra defensive.

I don’t agree with these tactics at all. We haven’t looked threatening at all since we scored. We should’ve pushed on for a second.

Brighton fans should be used to it, that’s how they played under Poyet

Nice dive by Boufal as well

Superb start!

Oh FFS Hoedt's in to counter the threat of Murray. JWP is in because Lemina is injured, as is Austin. They're careful decisions, not random at all.

Brighton fans seem to think Dunk is the best centre back in the country. Unless he's significantly improved in the 6 years since we played them, I very much doubt that is the case.

We play Yoshida against fast strikers... Glenn Murray is not fast at all. So a good tactical change from MP in my opinion.

I wonder if they'll take the patient approach and try to build a team for next season or if they will spunk a load of money in January on a new team?

Yup, let's hope our manager takes that opportunity, and plays our best attacking players i.e. Boufal

Let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. There is zero place for positivity on this forum.

Good set of results today for us. Let's hope we can take advantage, a win would be a brilliant result and get us right up the table.

West Ham :lol:

Liverpool struggling again... Klopp is underachieving in all honesty.

Seems like Crystal Palace have done a 'Pompey'. They have an ageing squad and haven't invested in their old ground, training facilities or academy. Now it's coming back to bite them.

And everyone's favourite manager on here Marco Silva losing at home to Stoke...

Massive game today for the skates, Bradford, the team with the biggest average attendance visit Fatpipes Park. Let's hope the Pompey players don't get overawed by the packed away stands generating all the noise.

I remember listening to that game whilst at uni, one of the funniest games. Adkins's face was a picture, as was Gus Poyet's Peter Walton was the ref, who then went over to train the referees in the MLS!

I hope we don't give them (or any team) a guard of honour. It can't be good psychologically, to reinforce the fact before kick-off that the opposition are superior...

This last game though will likely be top category anyway, seeing as it's Man City. Good chance we'll see the Premier League trophy being lifted at St Mary's, as I predicted at the end of last season to mass ridicule on here #PamplemousseWasRightAgain

So the January TV games were supposed to be announced today but for some reason it's been delayed.

Their fans have a massive chip on their shoulder.

It’d be good if we actually had academy players in the first team though...
