Good thing about losing today....

.... is that it might persuade Mr Liebherr to dig a little bit deeper into his pockets.

 

IMO we are a winger, striker, holding midfielder and CB short of being promotion contenders.

 

Sorry no. We need a playmaker CM to get service to our strikers (who we have enough of. Agree we need to sort out both CB positions & right wing probably needs to be better.

You've summed it up for me....exactly what we need.

 

Pref. the players will have some pace too...

My best mate is a Terriers fan and he said we were battered....he would though. Said our midfield kept giving the ball away, and we looked shakey at the back all game.

 

THis is nothing new, we have needed a decent pair of centre backs for the last 2 years, wotton is very poor, and Lambert needs a partner or two. Thwe fact is we are simply not strong enough yet, and its all very well Mr Cortese telling us about this magical sporting director, he should be concentrating on buying some players to win games. I hope im wrong, but i can see this going very wrong very quickly unless we sign 4 or 5 players to strengthen what is essential a squad bereft of a central defence and midfield. GET ON IT!

We didn't win. They are a top class side in the division and tipped for the top. We were away from home.

 

Clue folks, we're not going to win every game and sometimes we'll lose. I'd rather lose to a team like Huddersfield at the start of the season than some tin pot club towards the end of it.

 

Chin up - Pompey lost :)

2 centrebacks

1 defensive midfielder

1 general midfielder

1 striker

1 creative winger

 

Yep absolutely agree with that. Our current team is nowhere near good enough and today has been a massive wake up call. We didn't even threaten Huddersfield today, we made it very easy for them by the sounds of things.

 

The worrying thing is we will definately not sign 6 players, but that's at least what we need. Not good.

There was nothing good in losing. He knew that already.

Schniederlin is probably the best playmaker we could hope for in this league.

 

IMO what we need is a holding midfielder who will allow him more space. Lallana is completely over-rated IMO

 

We also miss a pacy striker. In the same mould as Theo ( ableit not as good! )

when will any of our managers realise that Lancashire is clearly is not good enough!

 

not sure you can blame todays result on him...

You can't blame him for the result, but that doesn't change the fact that he is not up to it. Got skinned twice to leave a 1 on 1 which (luckily) were both missed.

Not for me.

 

There's no pace there - and that's what we're crying out for.

 

Not sure what Yorke would offer us tbh? I'd take Holland though.

 

Yorke should provide us the killer pass that we need if we aren't creating anything at all today.

When will they realise that half the team are not good enough !

 

Which half the new half from last season

 

Murty Harding Thomas Rasiak Lambert

 

or James Davis Perry Lallana Wotton Schenderlin

 

 

However I would have thought that team should be able to hold its own in League 1

The obvious not good enough ones are Wotton, Lancashire, Thompson, Gobern. The first two should not even be on the bench. The last two should be loaned to some league 2 side immediately.

But only Wotton was playing at the start and was not taken off so AP thinks he is OK

Spot on...

And Lambert scoring again is a definite plus....

That could probably be said about all the teams in the Division -

do you not think so.....we have no stadium debt heavily reduced wage bill..no debts what so ever and bigger gates..

 

do you think we have more money available than what we have spent so far..?

 

I do

 

Yes I agree SFC have some money but Markus has more and I dont know what he wants to do with it

 

Not sure what the figures for income against expenditure is and what happened to the money from Surman and McGoldrick

I think many of you are getting carried away, sure we were well beaten but not too long ago we faced the prospect of not having a club! Then we have AP who has been here less than a month, really what do you expect! We were a shambles last season and it is going to take time, anyone who expected instant success is naive at best!
