Pears wtf. Absolute clown.

He's had nothing to do all game and he still tried to give us all a heart attack on an innocuous ball over the top. 

Awful, awful GK and the fact he has so many starts is a glaring indicator or how bad things are at the club.

Not a chance. 

They will run his contract down. He's here for 3 years.

Results aren't important when your owners don't even know you're playing.

I beg to differ

Its 3 and a half years

[roverstdt]

I don't blame Big Val he was offered a job and took the opportunity. The problem is way way way above. 

 

Steve Waggot, Suhail Pasha, Rudy Gestede this is unacceptable. I don't care losing and I don't care about mid table I just want simple thing passion desire and fight. None of that has occured. We are a shambles a to me a Protest MUST MUST MUST go ahead.

Didn’t go today but fair fucking play to every single fan that has gone down Pompey today. Not fair not right. What the fuck is going on forget today let’s see what the reaction is next Friday. RTID

Last 5 games one point...

[Tom]

Pathetic 

Any chance we had is long gone but we won’t go down

Rest of season should be focused on uniting in protest 

[bluebruce]

That second half was especially tedious. The Carter effort was basically all that happened.

On the plus side. We have made the relegation race a lot more interesting! It will only be fair if we give Luton 3 points in a couple of weeks too! 

If I was collecting first day cover stamps of relegation teams Rovers have lost to, I would be bankrupt.

protests might kick off on friday night,as middlesborough are a decent side and will possibly/likely  give us a hiding

[toogs]

Is it true the team turned up an hour before KO?

You can put your mortgage on that result, our historic record at Kenilworth Road and this spineless lot guarantees it.

It's miraculous how we've been so poor for so long, attaining so few points, and that we're somehow still only 5 points away from the playoffs (though at this stage that's a lot with so many teams inbetween us and there). This has been such a missed opportunity, the playoffs have been there for the taking and we've capitulated pathetically.

[roverblue]

The Ismael contract is ridiculous. They will have to sell a player just to pay him off the way it’s going

They’ve only got 12 to choose from.

[West Yorks Rover]

Remember Pompey hadn't beaten us since 2008.

He was probably appointed to make the people running the club competent. He is the worst appointment we could have gone for.

No shape, no direction, no effort, no blood sweat or tears.

Pathetic.

A single win against any of the dross we’ve played and we’d only be 2 points off the playoffs. Utterly pathetic. 

[roversfan99]

If thats the result of Ismael having 2 weeks to work with the team then that says it all. The French Owen Coyle picking a weird team again and never did we look like scoring. Even if we had got a below par points tally from 4 struggling sides then we would still have an outside chance of the play offs. To get absolutely nothing is extraordinarily bad. Ive seen enough to see why all of the fans of his previous 2 clubs who sacked him hated him so much.

The talk this week has been about deflecting the anger away from the team. Not sure they even deserve it. Passionless wasters.

Maybe we could crowd fund his severance package?? 

They would just pocket it once we sent it for actioning.

[cesus]

1000 good people spent their hard earned money today to support this football club. They got slapped in the face.

Absent owners.

Woeful senior management structure. 

A manager that seems to have no idea.

A group of players that have an alarming inability to recover from going 1 down ... this happened with the first shot.

This is just an ongoing nightmare that shows no sign of getting better, fans will disappear forever at this rate.

I’d argue that they still haven’t turned up!

We haven't played the long ball game tho under Ismael. 

Eustace's tactics at times were limited and we don't created enough chances and to be fair it doesn't help when Pears flapped like a bird and Hyam/Carter get bullied by Derby's front 2. 

Most of these players have played in 3-4-3 formation. 

In Lowe's last game, we got battered by Swansea. 

We havent played any specific style under this clown. Just slow, passive, tedious shite. 

Revert back to criticising previous managers though, I am guessing you arent concerned that we may have just employed a shit manager on a long term deal as you cant bare to see the reality in front of you.
