Looks like a cold night, especially oop north. Any chance of this match being called off?

[BilltheCat]

Looks unlikely. Not much chance of snow it seems, so I imagine it will depend on the state of the pitch.

[Pedalo_menders]

It would be good for us to have the Tuesday off to get some energy back in the legs. That being said, we have lowery and mingi coming back + reeco hasn't had much gametime the there is a speckling of fresh legs.

[Prickles]

We need to break our duck up there. Ffs it's dire

[Hammie]

yes its a run of games, but a cancellation will just mean the same sometime later.

Tough playing Barnsley and Sheff Weds on the spin mind.

By Sunday we will know how the rest of teh season is likely to pan out mind.

[Pedalo_menders]

It's a dream crusher week! Expecting the worst but hoping for the best. I know the players and fans will be bang up for it though. Backs to the wall

[Prickles]

We are going into a bogey fixture well overdue a loss.

No I'm not BlueArmy you coonts

If we win, I'm a believer

[mikey393]

Forecast showing 0-1C. I'd imagine they'll have a cover on the pitch before K.O. so should be o.k. This is a really tough one to call as both teams are on a roll. Home advantage could be the deciding factor but reckon we can grind a 1-1 draw Bishop to score.

[Hammie]

we are overdue a stupid red card especially if Dale carries on like last game!

[Sharpe*]

What a pathetic turnout by the Barnsley faithful.

Edit: stand closed!

[Hammie]

thats when it gets frustrating about our max capacity, when other have more space and don't get anywhere close to filling it.
Although as a yo yo side, it can't be that exciting really

[Pedalo_menders]

Gifted the ball away in midfield then didn't track the runners. Very sloppy. We've looked good otherwise.

[Rocketman]

Morrell owes us a MOTM performance after that dreadful error.

[Pedalo_menders]

Nothing we could do about that 2nd goal though.

[DeepBlue]

We're thrashing them 0-2

[DeepBlue]

but not since the second goal. Heads have dropped.

[briefcase_wanchor]

Playing as crap as we did on Saturday, but this time against a team who will punish us.

[Jizbag]

Complete rubbish. Do we have no pride?

[Hammie]

ex champ side, away, up north
Very tough fixture for any pompey side down the years, Barnsley

Doesn’t excuse the standard of our play, wasteful . We need to change from 433 and get some width on the left. This was too big a game to try out our midfield 3.

[Jizbag]

Ragget running towards the same player as Towler leaving Norwood completely free...shocking defending. Morrell giving the ball away constantly. All our own doing. Too slow, no press. Quite pathetic tbh. If i'd made that journey I wouldn't be happy.

[Hammie]

they used to say 2:0 was a dangerous score for the leading side, let's hope so

[Pedalo_menders]

If we are a team that likes a high press, and want to play that way, we have to be better at defending on the break.

[dsmg]

Great goal by Bishop, then we give away another just when we look like we're getting back into it

[Hammie]

If we are a team that likes a high press, and want to play that way, we have to be better at defending on the break.

More evidence that we completely lack pace in any position. 
Got to see some improvement in that aspect over the summer recruitment.
