fresh legs needed.
It appears most of these can only play once a week, probably having to run more than they can to compete.

Who cares.

We are relegation certainties.

Any starting 11 out of our massive squad is the starting 11 in the league

[HotToddy]

Saydee should have started. Even if only for 45 minutes. Same thing at Stoke without him. He brings solidity. Sub him with Moxon away from home. The first goal I blame on Murphy/Poole. The second just happens if you don't defend a corner. Saydee for Sorensen was the call.

[Sharpe*]

Saydee absolutely has to start.

He is the only one with a physical presence and is one of the few players who I think has done well this season.

[Yobster1]

Saydee wasn’t even a starter in league one on regular basis.

[dsmg]

He's improved no end. He was only 21 last year, still improving IMO

Swap Dozzell for Moxon and get rid of Shitvera and Bleurgh - both are nowhere near championship level.

The manager must be pulling his hair out, trying to work out what to do for the best.
He's been dealt a bad hand by the recruitment team, and injuries haven't helped, but fwiw I think making us difficult to beat would be a good start.which would mean 3 in centre midfield, and they all need to be able to run their bollox off.

[Hammie]

Start from the premise of you will run for 100 minutes and longer if needed.
Most of all a team that will collectively defend the back four who have been left disgracefully exposed far too often this season.
Get Murphy back on the wing with a full back behind him.
Devlin on the other side at full back or wide right.

[TitchfieldBlue]

Need to be beating clubs like Sheffield Wednesday if we want to stay up. They are a yoyo champ / league one club. They are crap but so are we.

Need to find a way to.win tonight. Can't see it though.

Jamal Lowe interview was quite interesting. He says he would have jumped at the chance to return in the summer if we had pursued a move when he was a free agent. Would that have been a better move than a loan for Silvera? He’s 30 but he has Pompey in his veins (but not always a good idea to go back) as opposed to a younger player trying to prove himself to his parent club ( not very successfully so far). Easy in hindsight but I would have given Lowe a go, maybe 2 year contract.

[PompeyBlue15]

The problem with Saydee is that he isn't good enough to be the playmaking number 10 and he isn't good enough to be the lead striker as he won't score enough goals. Maybe we should go 442 and have him alongside another striker up top.

[Rocketman]

352 even better in my humble opinion

[simonfkwit]

Could work with Farrell, but not convinced Ritchie has the legs for it, and Ogilvie is struggling enough with just the left back role to consider.

Yes nice bit of shit stirring from Jahmal to try and get the crowds back up. Not enough people talk about how much of a coont he was when trying to leave us. 

Fook offJahmal. We are backing this team.

[Bedhamptonblue69]

Think it’ll be a 1-10-0-0 formation tonight and hang on for a point and start a 25 game unbeaten run. Anyone agree ?

Has any journalist asked moose why moxon was given a squad number this season but has mean nowhere the first team despite our injury record and dearth of decent midfielders.

[DeepBlue]

Has any journalist asked moose why moxon was given a squad number this season but has mean nowhere the first team despite our injury record and dearth of decent midfielders.

Making three apearances without being near the first team is quite an achievement. 

Moxon has been unlucky but no doubt has not shown enough in training to force himself into the squad ahead of the other midfielders, which is about the only area of the field that has not been decimated by injuries. 

Just because he has not been playing much and the team has not been playing very well doesn't mean the players left out suddenly become better than the ones picked.

[Hammie]

There are always players who look better in training than in matches, and some who can't see the point as they are not on the current list of favourites who cannot be dropped or know that whatever they do, they will not get picked.
Pitman for a fairly recent example.

Didn’t hang about did he? For someone with Pompey in his veins, he was off like a rat up an aqueduct.

[FiftyYearsOn]

I suppose he was disappointed by his treatment in the play offs. I had no idea anyone had that feeling about him. He gave me the best never to be forgotten moment at Wembley so cheers Jamal.

I see they have 3 ex Pompey in their ranks - Dishon Bernard, Michael Smith and Jamal Lowe

What are the odds that all three score against us tonight.
