McIntyre, Moxon, Saydee, Williams, Lane all need replacing. Not good enough for the Championship. Kamara was poor too but we're stuck with him.

[exgaffer]

Fair play to the 1500 hardy souls who went, sterling effort I reckon.

As for the match, it was always going to be difficult against a side full of confidence, on a roll and flying high in Div 1.

The team we put out showed where our priorities lie.

Obviously a cup run is nice but in our current situation it is an unwanted distraction, so I can’t say I’m distraught to be out.

It is true though that the players we put out, who should have been busting a gut stating a case for first team inclusion, went out with a whimper. Quite worrying really.

How the hell Saddee is anywhere near the first team squad beats me

Were you moaning when he got both goals at Boro?

So because he scored two goals about 4 months ago (one of which was a tap in after their goalie/defender collide) you are not allowed to have a poor opinion of him now? He wasn't deemed good enough last season and didn't feature an awful lot. If he played every game of the season how many goals would he realistically get? Seems a nice bloke, got a bit of strength about him but offers very little else in my opinion.

Saydee is never going to make it in the championship unfortunately. I think his level is league two really

Saydee would do well for last night's opposition. Hold the ball up and give it to someone else is a bondafide job description there

I listened on Solent last night and have to say made me proud to be Pompey listening to the fans. Pompey away were ridiculously good with absolutely nothing to shout about on the pitch. Reminds me, we make this club what it is. Love it.

None of which suggests he shouldn't be "anywhere near the first team squad", does it?

I'd keep Saydee to come off the bench and hold up play when we are hanging on to a lead.  I was very disappointed when we signed him because of his trial here the year before, but he has won me over to some extent. He is very good at what he is good at, upsetting defenders and keeping the ball. He can even pass well occaasionally.  He just can't score when he gets into goal scoring positions, but he is something very different that not many teams have and I'd keep him on the bench for that reason.

[simonfkwit]

He's a proper Pompey player, will always get backed because of his attitude and work rate.

A decent league 1 player though. Only 22 so still some improvement left in him.

In that trial at H&W he looked about 2 stone over weight, he's improved since then.Championship player, not sure

[TheSyrup]

Really like Saydee, has some great touches but not good enough for the championship.
A great human being and a credit to his family and Pompey.
