    First half was ballocks. Second a lot better. We're going down anyway so least we can sit and watch all shite players that don't give a toss and we can try and get rid.

    Luton up next... Haha bye bye Hopkin.

    The save from Doyle, save from Caddis, Akpan over the bar and Ball against the post. 4 decent chances I can recall.

    That’s why I said we played well second half and it’s a shame we didn’t do it for 90 minutes. Not sure what your reply has added to the comments I made.

    The caddis one was fairly straight forward. Akpans effort was awful.

    Bottom line - 1 point and no goals scored from the last 2 games is nowhere near good enough. Relegation standard all day long.

    2 points from 9.

    0 goals scored in our last 3 matches! NONE!!

    Relegation form don't you agree @How@How or do you get a kick out of acting more delusional than @Park bantam@Park bantam

    The big thing is the one point from two winnable home games against not great opposition.

    You have to win those games as quoted, 1 point from last two games doesn’t suggest staying up. Tried to play a bit of football, but first half very poor.

    Will Doyle m ever score again this season.

    Certainly played better than last week, but still not good enough. The lack of striker options is embarrassing. How on earth have the board and managerallowed this to happen?

    Hopkin far too negative with his subs today

    You’ve changed the subject here. My comment was about the second half performance being much better today and the fact we created some good chances and should have scored. All of which is true.

    It looked like ALL our decent chances were coming from the right side, take a bow Caddis and Ball.

    Someone other than jack Payne should be taking corners, they were uniformly awful and try a bit of variety like a short ball to O'Brien or Butterfield- its not like we are blessed with tall options in there.

    . How the sodding hell did O'connor not even connect with Jack Paynes Corner early in the second half when free in space? I'll excuse NKP cos surely he must have expected a connection by O'connor

    Well we certainly played better than last week, but our inability to score is costing us. First half they looked hesitant and nervous. Second half we played well and should have clinched all three. Funnily enough we are still in the mix. Onwards.

    First half was appalling, one of the worst halves I've seen at any level and arguably even worse than anything that joker collins served up.

    Attacking players in the team yes, but we were too rigid and trying to be too organised - players trying their best not to go out of their position which meant the man on the ball had precisely zero options infront of him. At first I thought it was the players fault but listening to Hopkin post match and his comments about not taking Clarke off because he's experienced and holds his position pretty much says this was his tactic and instruction.

    Thankfully he saw his c*ck up (makes a change from usual) and allowed the attack to be more fluid, get the ball down and with more movement we batter them in the second half (shock horror). Should've taken our chances and won the game but in all honesty you can't turn up for only half a game and expect 3 points.

    Subs were laughable. Payne off again when we're desperate for a goal and playing 1 upfront for the whole 90 minutes in a must win game. He settled for a point quite frankly and was more scared of losing the game than having the balls to go out and win it.

    We're not signing David Edgar apparently as we're now well stocked in that area according to Hopkin. So why have we wasted his and our time having him on trial for the past few weeks? Complete joke, get out and bring a striker and winger in, you know players in positions which we actually need.

    I'm resigned to relegation. A horrendous March fixture list and four teams above us having at least 1 game in hand makes it the impossible for me. 7 wins from 13 needed now - No chance.

    Agree.

    We'll get bugger all at Pompy so if we got nowt at Walsall it'll be 1 point from 12.

    I try to be positive and it is still is tight at bottom, but I just don’t see us scoring the goals to stay up.

    You can say it twice even ten times mate and it still sounds depressing.

    If we get nowt at Walsall it's all but over. We need 6 wins out of the last 13 games ? So Walsall is a must MUST ! Win. Better show second half but another game we needed to win slips away. When it comes down to it we are where we are because our management of this season has been totally useless. I cannot see this group of players "saving the day". If it came down to the final game of the season they're going to blow it But it won't come to that I think when we go to Scunthorpe we will already be in League 2. The writings on the wall we're going down as much as it pains me to contemplate it.
