That’s our current 6 midfield / attackers.

Venkys are going to kill off another glimmer of promotion. Rinse and repeat - get out of our club 

Yep, they are doing it again.

They’re miles better than us. Trondstad to Forsaw will be the end of our playoff hopes. Surely we have an academy kid that can do more than Forshaw. 

For me, we already had one but have sent him on loan to League One.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Everything that is shit about our current squad is on show today.  

Teams all around us getting results. 

It's ok though - we'll be signing quality at the end of the window ...

If we did, they'd sell him off to keep the lights on and pocket the leftovers 👍

The problem is all the cm options bar Travis are only viable when played with tronstad.

[Tom]

Undeserved last minute equaliser coming, Harry time 

[funny-old-game]

Tronstad is so underrated by some, he's always in and around the danger mopping things up all over the pitch, forshaw seems stuck over on the right, maybe an age thing but it doesn't bode well.

[ItsRoverZ]

Shocking this, do rovers know we are 1 down?

[DE.]

We aren't getting anywhere near top six without attacking reinforcements. Problem is our owners simply don't care. 

[rock steady]

Their 7 does indeed have shit hair but would be a starter for us.

Yep. I've been shouting about it for two weeks - we needed signings in the door on Jan 1. 8 games in January after a ridiculously hectic December. We needed help and pace in the door.

No chance of that with the way we're playing at the moment. Since the subs there's nothing there. It's more likely to be 2-0 than 1-1.

[West Yorks Rover]

We've not come out 2nd half at all, shocking performance.

they don`t want us in the top flight,it`s obvious,expect us to fall away in the league and as we are unlikely to be relegated thats ok by them

[West Yorks Rover]

At least Pompey have equalised against Boro.

I think everyone rates him very highly on here bar 1 poster.

Desperate times if he is out for a long time 

[K-Hod]

I’ve not managed to catch any of it today, but I sense as soon as we were 1 down, that would be it. 
My ego isn’t that massive, so if I am ultimately wrong, feel free to rub this post in my face!

[Exiled_Rover]

JRC probably should have scored there. 

[Trinidad Rover]

Rotten day.

Hanging on to top 6 somehow though. I hate Venkys - every January they squander any optimism or opportunity. 

[yankfan]

This 0-1 feels like 0-3

[barry_]

Harry Leonard's appearances since his 'comeback' have left a lot of questions about his future/ability (i know today is a difficult game, with no support for him) 

[Bethnal]

Can’t get a cross in down the left hand side, but seemingly persisting to hammer it at Kioso.

[onlyonejackwalker]

6 minutes extra time.

There does seem a concerted effort to scupper our chances if we've ever the slightest chance of promotion.

Four seasons in a row now? Almost got us relegated in one of them.

[Cherry Blue]

Don't blame the team, problem is in India.
