This is embarrassing... - Cressers - 17-12-2022
Dire, abject, hopeless
RE: This is embarrassing... - Hammie - 17-12-2022
and most of all disorganised and confused.

Dreadful performance with strange original lineup.

If we win our games in hand……

Goalie MOM, lol
RE: This is embarrassing... - Hammie - 17-12-2022
must think he will be a future international and want a signed top.
RE: This is embarrassing... - farq2 - 17-12-2022
Surely the cowleys cannot survive this
RE: This is embarrassing... - Roybatty - 17-12-2022
We got super Danny cowley!!
RE: This is embarrassing... - mikey393 - 17-12-2022
Something major is wrong here behind the scene.
Something has to change & fast.

Our manager is out of his depth and a useless coont?
RE: This is embarrassing... - kindofblue - 17-12-2022
It won't....
RE: This is embarrassing... - Bedhamptonblue69 - 17-12-2022
I think it’s safe to say Cowley has lost the dressing room . Got to go now . Another season wasted and another season of mediocrity.

Yeah, will be interesting to know why raggett wasn’t playing. I assume he can’t be injured as he was on the bench. Certainly wouldn’t have allowed to powder puff goals like those.
Unfortunately it’s the same as the last few seasons, when we have a genuine chance to catch the top six at this time of the year. Strange team selections and formations and general apathy. Second best all over the pitch to bottom of the league. Very frustrating and embarrassing. AGAIN!!!
Also, lots of posturing about transfer activity as usual but just like the last few seasons I bet nothing much happens. Really hope I’m wrong.
Only Pompey could have a billionaire American owner who doesn’t appear to bothered about failure. He will probably be happy with a papa johns final, although not even that looks likely on current form.
Merry Christmas Mr Eisner

Update! So just heard Cowley say he left out Raggett for tactical reasons. Wow! That says it all about his tactics ?
I’m lost for words.
RE: This is embarrassing... - Northstander - 17-12-2022
Apparently Raggs was running on the pitch after the game and there was nothing wrong with him. I totally agree with Dibden, certainly the Eisners are more interested in the Papa Johns than the league. The contractors are doing well with the Milton End but that's about it I'm afraid....
RE: This is embarrassing... - Kingo - 17-12-2022
Our players aren't great, but they're good enough for us to be able to put out a viable, functional team which could compete at this level. But we're not doing it. They're almost all DC's players, and he can't get a performance out of them. Let's not waste another window on him.
RE: This is embarrassing... - Hammie - 17-12-2022
Teams that win leagues concede the fewest goals
Pretty simple, set up the defence, keep it the same as often as you can.
Add a decent defensive midfielder or two (away)
We can't keep a clean sheet to save our lives and constantly chop and change, that's a relegation team from what I remember down the years.
RE: This is embarrassing... - Ain’t got a Danny - 17-12-2022
Yes the priorities seem to be the ground, the training ground & gym, corporate stuff and merchandising followed by the academy.
That all had to be done no dispute but still don’t think the Eisners will stay on much beyond completing the infrastructure stuff around 2024.
They won’t get rid of the Cowleys if their contracts are the same sort of timescale.
Could be wrong of course but I don’t see what’s in it for them after that if they’re not prepared to abandon their financial regime. They needed the academy to produce the goods a few years back and it’s not happened.

I’m surprised that you’re surprised.

The teams who win the league win the most games. We play to not lose, that’s our problem.

and that sums it up for me
His team, almost entirely and we are consistently worse than before he arrived and I seem to recall more expensive too.
Incidentally, once the "not fit to wear the shirt" song come out, has any manager recovered to stay for very long after?
