We need another centre half in January and a fast winger. Get on it Tony

Save the tears and cries of anger until the end of the season. Crap result, but it's the end of December. Who knows what will happen?

If we are going up games away like this should be a three pointer. Xmas party, players ill, missed penalty? I would hope the new CEO has something to say.

Get Wharton on for Ward, because the guy is an accident waiting to happen, and he's going to pick up another yellow and screw the game for us if he stays on.

Well, it looks like you spoke to soon, doesn't it? Perhaps you should learn to not make silly remarks and wait for the game to finish in future. 

In other news, Bradford, who we really shouldn't forget about in our "eyes forward" mode, equalise against the Wombles. We could be drop to fourth after today's results.

I wouldn't begrudge them an Xmas party.

Lenihan back and we have Wharton, Platt as backups to Mulgrew and Downing. Enough there I think. I'd say a rb and re is more of a priority.

I meant when we get Ward out. Platt nowhere near ready to be put in the first team

They can. They will have 43 points if hey draw and 45 if they win.

If Bradford turn the current draw into a victory, they'll go above us.

Shrewsbury miss a penalty.

Bradford have equalised at Wimbledon.

I didn't see it but am I right in thinking Conway and Antonsson were a waste of space?

Glad Bennett is back Boxing Day. We desperately need another fast winger as an absolute priority.

I meant that too hence why I did not even mention him. Platt would be 5th choice yes but the other four ahead are more than capable.

To be fair, I think the stick that Conway is getting is unfair. His pace has certainly gone (if he ever had any), but I'm pretty confident he would've put that penalty away after missing a sitter. In fairness, he created that chance for himself, and I think he's our best crosser of the ball.

Antonsson - bob on, a waste of space today. Did absolutely nothing, other than waste our opportunity to steal all three points.

Shrews 1-0 up now.

I thought it was an amateur mistake. Forget the shorts are still at Bills' house and have to borrow some from the sports centre.

Bradford loseing 2-1 now

[Vinjay]

I don't think people should be getting out pitchforks either but those of a concessional mentality are so quick to ram the message down people's throats. 

Its December and embarrassing enough to be in same league as likes of Shrewsbury to begin with. I know some people care about the other results but Rovers need to take care of themselves. That's what failed to happen last season not because of the final day or blaming Huddersfield.

[Tom]

Looking like a terrible day for us, Wigan are going to run away with the league, no way we are a worse team than them so we need to get back to winning ways on Boxing Day.

Its looking much better than a few weeks ago but worry our start will end up costing us an automatic spot

Come on Pompey.

TM referencing illness to a few in post match conference. Dublin was evidently hit very hard...
