Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I saw no reason as to why we can't overturn a 4pt deficit on Derby to be honest. They'll drop more points than we will in the run-in. There. I said it If we were 4 points clear now I’d certainly not consider we were up so it’s very possible. I do think we would have to win 6 maybe 7 and that’s the ...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

Let’s try this another way. Derby recognising that we are a good football side decided they would have to perform a rearguard action get numbers back and try and hurt us on set pieces. They ended up restricting the shots we had on target to the same they managed. So they did the job they set out to ...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I've no doubt that we had more possession & a better XG than the opposition in all of the last 8 away games - however we have won only 1. Yes 1 win out of the last 8 away games - its ok though as we have process & performance. When your proxy metrics aren’t predicting performance then you have to q...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I’m not the manager. The thing is you say ‘we don’t just ignore it’ yet the same words are uttered game after game ‘if we keep up that level of performance we will be fine’…it doesn’t suggest we are trying to examine the reasons we keep not being fine. We just think that if we keep performing somet...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

Derby and Portsmouth have horrendous injury lists. So we aren’t alone there. No, but you're looking for a solution that we've arguably already got. The intangibles probably come down to character. People who when it really matters stand up to be counted. And teams that do the same. When you need so...

I'm glad we're performance and process driven. That's how you get results. Played well, didn't win. Annoying, but sometimes that's how it goes. He's the best manager we've had since Sam for me.

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

The problem is not that we focus on process and performance for me it’s that it isn’t working. Our form is not good . So maybe we should be looking at results and questioning them and be driven somewhat by that. If the insistence is ‘well we just trust the process’ it’s not worked. Not sure what yo...

Re: Tonight's Football

Cracking game of football. Liverpool only themselves to blame. Should have killed the game off but tried showboating with just one goal leads. Nunez - shouldn’t be paid for his part in firstly completely failing to pass a simple ball on the break that would have killed the game off and then playing ...

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....

Ramsay cost Liverpool £6million quid… the only game I’ve seen him in he looked like an attacking rwb, was bemoaning him not being on the bench as an option, then I got bored. I don’t think he is injured. What I’ve seen of him and it’s not much here, but he didn’t look ready to me. We are asking way...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

Yeah once we went behind there was no chance we would equalise - not even a sniff where we created a scramble or a moment of panic. We had a couple of corners, long throws and it’s then you need your man mountain captain to do what he never does - fight to get on the end of one and cause some panic...

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign

When I look at Derby, and indeed a lot of sides this season….I think we are massively underperforming. For me we have the best squad in the league. There are issues but everyone else has them too. Pompey a whole team missing today through injury. I don’t think Evatt is bad or even necessarily actual...

Evatt ‘we are process and performance driven not results driven.’ Yeah that’s the problem. Maybe they will award us the process and performance trophy at the end of the season. Does it come with an extra promotion place? 🤣 We'll be able to put it in the trophy cabinet next to the PPDA Cup. 9 points...

They do. And other teams have problems too. The ones that go up in the autos are the ones that solve them. You can afford a couple of slip ups heading towards play-offs. You don't get as many for the autos. We spend way too much time congratulating ourselves on 5-0 wins and not enough time on worki...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I'd rather us address the issues that we do have rather than swap out the approach to play like Derby did. We just don't seem to be, though. Show me a time in that run of fixtures where the club have had chance to take stock and fully address the problems? We've had a lot of games in quick successi...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

Talk about Jekyle and Hyde with the attack. Nothing in the final third compared to Oxford. Too inconsistent. Derby are a way better side. They were comfortable sitting in and I don’t think they ever panicked. The games that have cost us in truth are the Wigan ones, Charlton, Carlisle, Northampton, ...
