Watford losing again We dodged a bullet with Silva

That was the chance Great play by Redmond

Their players go down very easily

We ended the half how we should have started it. Please Pellegrino, tell the players to push for a second rather than sit back and hold on

Their keeper looks dodgier than ours!

Slowed down it looks bad but at full speed I’m not convinced it was deliberate. Only Austin knows for sure.

Not necessarily. The ref saw it but didn’t seem it worthy of a card. So Ok not sure any retrospective action can be taken.

I’ll be amazed if we manage to keep a clean sheet

So now we’ll park the bus for the rest of the game. Great

Has anyone got a decent link? Mine is very laggy

This really is dreadful

WE GOT A CORNER!!!!

Whatever happens I don’t think we’ll sack him.

Looking at the positives, I’m hoping Targett gets down their left flank. If he puts in some of his superb crosses, Austin could get a lot of chances today.

I know people didn’t like Puel’s rotation but at least there was some logic behind it. There’s no logic to this at all. The only thing I agree with is starting Austin. Definitely play Gabbiadini at Wembley.

Has he lost the plot???! Redmond somehow starts. No Romeu or Hojbjerg, probably our best midfield pairing at the moment. So let’s play Davis who is badly out of form and unfit Lemina. I don’t get it. I really don’t get it.

Pellegrino said that he only wanted fully committed players playing for us. Nobody can say that VVD has played with 100% commitment this season. So let’s take the money and move on.

Adam Blackmore said on twitter he’s at the stadium but with his family

It is the time of Christmas miracles...

I’m hoping for a fast paced start where we blitz them in the first fifteen minutes and score at least two goals. The Northam goes wild and their intense support for the remainder of the match spurs the team on to a famous thrashing. Is that too much to ask for?

If the club hesitate in bringing in a replacement coach, that could be a sign that Pellegrino’s position isn’t secure.

Fratton Park has had its capacity increased by a whopping 738 seats! The sleeping giant is roaring back

Brendan would be a brilliant manager for us, of that I have no doubt. Personally I reckon it’d be a bit of a coup if he were to come here at some point.

20 is still pretty young. As long as he stays fit and works hard, there's no reason why he can't make it here. Deserves a chance for sure.
