Pompey hit the crossbar!

Wake up FFS

[norwichblue]

Got away with one there 😬

[Andy]

Portsmouth are terrible.

We've managed to be even worse so far.

That's my fear. Seen this script too many times. Waste chances, get a sucker punch in the bollocks and lose a game we should've won 4 nil.

And they hit the bar on their first attempt...yeh I'm sensing a bollock punch.

[Torgeir]

Get Bucko and Cantwell on the ball. Settle down and dominate, shouldn't be too difficult.

[G Somerset Rover]

Hoping to tempt fate in a good way, but as soon as I saw this fixture and the opportunity to get back into the top 6, I thought, ‘we’ll bugger this up’.

[Devon Rover]

This needs changing. Should never have been the starting line up for a home game against a very poor team. 

[joey_big_nose]

Id get ACD on for Hedges and Gueye on for Wieman.

[duckson]

Ball seems to be in the air all the time like a division 4 game from the 80’s.

Sure as night follows day, Rovers always balls up a golden opportunity when presented with one.

I don't know who they've got in for colour commentary but he should be nowhere near a microphone.

Call me old, but I don’t agree with male commentators. 
 

Just turned Sky Sports News on and panicked when I say 0-2…but it’s the women’s team. Although now 1-2. Great that it’s being reported on more.

Yet another game where Cantwell is ineffective. He spends more time on the floor than anyone else.

JE experimenting, bring the "big guns" on at 60-70 mins.

[roverandout]

We don't need a goal scoring striker according to some on here

[Torgeir]

Sub 'em all off

We've definitely been by far the better team... Just cant finish.

[MB Rover]

Absolutely rubbish 

[Bethnal]

Buckley for ACD, Leonard for Hedges.

Sit Cantwell alongside Tronstad and move Weimann to the 10 position.

Tbf, he looks up and sees Weimann Dolan or hedges… yikes

He's been poor, but he's a LOT better than the likes of Buckley, Weimann, Dolan and even Tronstad tonight so far.

Change of shape needed for the 2nd half, get 2 up top and attack them.

[DE.]

Buy a bloody striker ffs. This is painful. 

[neophox]

Rovers first half shit..we need strikers!!! Seems the lineup demonstrated our need of a striker and that now!

[roversinmyblood]

No quality on show from either side. 

[BankEnd Rover]

Weimann thinking he's in a training match with that pathetic chip attempt...If he carries the ball an extra 10 yards he's got an easy finish.

 

[moerpho]

Well that was awful. Enough said.
