Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

Agreed on Charles - am hoping what we saw Tuesday was a reflection of him not being sharp, and the way to sort that is a start on Saturday.

Re: Season 23/24 Predictions

Interesting reading ⬆️.
Few picked Pompey as contenders but I’m guessing had hoped we would push them harder. That’s what is the most disappointing thing… we had the squad to push but our only consistency is our inconsistency…

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

He’s actually been fit for longer this season than others I think. But it’s what, 3 league goals? Was a mistake last summer, let alone next.

Aye - both the goals prevented by someone putting a crunching tackle in and possibly taking a yellow card. George Thomason of all people last night!

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

See my fear with Oxford is we would assume we would coast the home leg, and that usually spells trouble.

Fundamentally we are finishing third or fourth and really should beat anyone we play. Blackpool wouldn’t want to play, given our record of bottling local derbies.

I always go back to what Ghost said. ‘If Plan A isn’t working, Plan B is to do Plan A better’ or similar… if Ghost had come out as Ian Evatt at that point I would not have been surprised!

There you go - do the same thing others have done cos our manager refuses to change it.

Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

Was there at a weird angle to it, but that Ogbeta chance… Was it as clear-cut as it appeared to me? Looked like 1. It should’ve been headed and 2. He should’ve followed the header with his full body weight to take anyone on the line with him. Looked like he should have buried it to me. And Iredale ...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

It was basically give it to Maghoma and hope. Dempsey perked up on 60 mins. But not enough. I just don’t get why he left three centre halves on - one of which being forester who played like he had left his contact lenses out, and in slippers. It was crying out for Williams at half time, 433, give th...

Dion Charles. What the hell has happened here? He looked like he didn’t want to get injured when he came on tonight, not like a player who wanted to get back in the side. Nlundulu threw himself straight into it. Charles just hid.

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

I would genuinely be surprised if he wasn’t here regardless of what happens in the play offs. I’m far from confident. Perhaps a collapse would lead to a mutual consent type situation. I would expect some pressure if we didn’t start next season well. And I keep saying it but the league will be strong...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

I mean that was just Wigan, Carlisle, Bristol, Leyton Orient… we’ve not put some shite to bed this season - even when we do score in these games we give the opposition a lift! It’s alright turning in a great performance against Portsmouth but we’ve just made it worthless! Forester was awful, Iredale...

I'm increasingly of the opinion we should part ways in the summer, regardless of the playoffs outcome.
Another play off defeat and you won’t be a lone voice. I think he’ll be here next September come what may but he doesn’t fecking learn, that’s for sure.
