Get hedges dolan weimann off

Gueye Leonard and amario on

We need more than a striker. A couple of wingers and someone creative too. If I was a number 9 I wouldn’t fancy joining a club with Hedges and Dolan either side of me 

[rock steady]

Turgid stuff. Even though the crowd is small, in some ways it's surprising so many turn up when that's what's on offer.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

0-0 all over this. 

[LDRover]

Blimey this is poor, I've lost count of the amount of poor ball control, misplaced passes and general bad play.

And have we got Captain Tom Moore up front with a number 14 shirt on? Natural erosion moves quicker.

[BigHoz]

Shocking performance, absolute criminal we haven’t signed a striker YET. Get on with it. Pointless playing cantwell he can’t pass to anyone up the pitch as nobody is there. 

[onlyonejackwalker]

0-0 at half time. Just as we like it. We will win this game, Portsmouth are very poor.

[neophox]

You could see Eustace turning his head in fury and starting to sign in his paper as the half ended not happy with the way the team plays... surely he will do changes..

[RevidgeBlue]

Get a bloody striker on. Can't believe he's gone so negative at home against a side 16 points below us.

Our best wingers are also our best left back and right back.

So were Hull, so were Plymouth. We lost to both.

For years we've been absolutely toothless against awful sides.

JRC for Buckley too!

Portsmouth fans are outstanding for what it's worth. Making more noise consistently than Burnley, Leeds and Sunderland did, and literally haven't stopped. Annoying chants, sure, but fair play to them.

Also applauded the Wild Rover too. Good club.

100% - they’re probably our most creative players! Says a lot about the midfield / attack. 

[Bethnal]

Grasping at straws, but… Ref’s been alright! Not one I recognise and has tried to let things go/not to book unnecessarily.

Gave us a very soft booking earlier but mostly been alright. Not been much in the way of ambiguous decisions to make though.

(Not that that has stopped other refs conjuring bizarre decisions from the ether)

Pity we don't the family could easily buy us a new Striker.

[LDRover]

We're all over the shop defending crosses into the box, that'll be our undoing tonight.
