The9 Posted 20 August, 2016 Share Posted 20 August, 2016 (edited) Dodgy penalty for tangle of legs tbf, and until then no tangible difference in success to whatever else it is they've been doing until now. As for "fans demanding change of formation", well if it was anything other than the Mike Bassett Classic "fourfourfckingtwo" they could claim to all be tactical geniuses. But it's not. Hopefully soon they'll also start listening to every fan yelling "get it forward" and "put it out" too? Edited 20 August, 2016 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that was to pay the potential fine for fielding a weakened tram in the Football League Trophy (whatever its called now). Last time I looked they'd reached the grand heights of 3% of the target.

Pompey working on new system: winning Paul Cook’s vow to change has been followed up this week in training. But it remains to be seen whether Pompey win this afternoon at Exeter (3pm). Blues boss Cook saw his side make hard work of collecting their first three-point haul of the season in last Saturday’s 2-0 win over Colchester at Fratton Park. With the scoreline goalless at the hour mark, a change to winning proved the catalyst for a much-welcome victory. But while Cook has pledged to shake things up on home soil to break down stubborn opponents, Pompey are more likely to engage in an open game on their travels. He said: ‘For the first time in training, we are now working on being different. ‘The reality of it is that last weekend, when we won, we hadn’t done a lot of work on winning. ‘And this is what I must highlight to our supporters. ‘When you are changing stuff you must know what you are doing. ‘We don’t want to get involved in winning for the sake of it or to appease fans, or make out that “oh well, at least we are changing”. ‘We have got to work on our changes in a more pragmatic view that, when we do change, it is because we are trying to go and win the game. ‘And certainly at Fratton Park I believe we have start winning occasionally. ‘That’s in the last third, in their 18-yard box because that is where they are any way – so let’s cut to the chase.’ Key to Pompey’s hopes of a victory at St James Park today will be scoring. Cook added: ‘We have to put teams under more pressure to get a goal. ‘We can’t relax – we have to win. ‘When we score we feel we're more likely to win and that is what we have to get to.'

I'm sure with their groaning war chest the pluckiest will have been able to afford a flight to Exeter. Swanwick NATS will have been ordered to clear the skies so that the Barca of Portsea Island have a straight run and no doubt the emergency services will have been told to clear the roads around Exeter so that their limo from the airfield doesn't have to sit in traffic all afternoon Edited 27 August, 2016 by Waterside.saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Why isn’t there a rule for this competition which states only young English players can play? Or a limit on players who aren’t eligible to play for the English national side?" Um, because there's never been a rule in any senior competition that prevents players of a certain age or nationality from playing, and also because it's completely against the *current* law for as long as we're still in the EU (and most likely after that as well if the football administrators want the club game in England to continue to be successful).
