Honestly, this is a really bad Portsmouth side and there will be none of the previous excuses if we lose this one.

And there is the ever present comical defending. Sides can be poor against us because we don’t need them to be good to concede.

Is Evatt ever going to sort out our inability to defend?

Not with a winger at fullback and a goalkeeping like that, no.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 4:20 pmIs Evatt ever going to sort out our inability to defend?

Might be better if the players sorted it out...BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 4:20 pmIs Evatt ever going to sort out our inability to defend?

Once teams know that you are soft at the back they are happy to just stay in games and wait.
This is a problem. A massive problem. Soft at the back and struggling up top is a recipe for relegation.

Oh, if you look at some of the shite on Twitter now, Tango, there's a row going on between two factions - blame Isgrove and blame Dixon.
I'm not up for blaming either of them, to be honest!
May the bridges I burn light your way

We don't deserve a point this half but did in the first. Need a bit of luck.

Keeper shouldn’t be letting that in but as an 11 we are mentally and physically too soft. We don’t have the mentality of ‘you aren’t scoring against us today’.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 4:23 pmOh, if you look at some of the shite on Twitter now, Tango, there's a row going on between two factions - blame Isgrove and blame Dixon.

Nor do we have a striker who really believes he is going to score in any given game.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 4:27 pmKeeper shouldn’t be letting that in but as an 11 we are mentally and physically too soft. We don’t have the mentality of ‘you aren’t scoring against us today’.
Trouble is, some stuff in this game is genuinely better than the last 4. We are just crap in key areas.

Nothing on the bench. Brockbank warming up whilst we're 1-0 in the 70th. Meanwhile Politic is on loan elsewhere. Sure he isn't the finished product, but he is an outlet.
Re: Pompey and Circumstances...V. Portsmouth away Sat 30th Oct 3.O'clock
Think a RB is needed in Jan. That and a defensive coach.
So turgid at the back.
Kachuga off. Brocky on. Push Lloyd further up.

See, he can't just make himself two inches taller than he actually is.
Can we defer? I've only seen it on my phone so let me see it 'proper', then you, me and The Ghost might have a different conversation.

And maybe a bit of time spent on set pieces too.

Striker doesn’t get enough supply. Nor is he a create chances yourself type. So either we need one of the latter or we need better earlier supply. But defensively the issues are utterly embarrassing and against a fairly impotent Portsmouth we’ve still conspired to help them to a goal.GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 4:30 pmNor do we have a striker who really believes he is going to score in any given game.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 4:27 pmKeeper shouldn’t be letting that in but as an 11 we are mentally and physically too soft.
