SA-I offered to pay today by a post on here which you never replied to,I don't know you or where you would be and if you think I'm going out of my way to pay you you are wrong,why didn't you reply and say you would be at a certain place at a certain time,your fault not mine.

 Stu - that was our discussion leaving the ground.... could we have got a Gary O'Neil type as a cheap player/coach rather than Vaughan Ryan. This week has shown we really needed that bit of experience in the camp.

 McLaughlin selection, weird. Fucking awful midweek.

 I am so pissed off today and fed up of keep spending £2 on cold drinks at the ground that are warm!!!

 Silk - we don't have a pair strong enough for centre midfield and we don't have a pair strong enough to play centre halves. Connolly and Pinnock are half a player each, neither great wingers, neither great at tracking back.

 I know what you are saying STTA and we haven’t sent the other bottom 8 teams although at the moment we have Peterborough and Bristol Rovers in that mini league. This squad is too young and lacks experience. We have the weakest set of Forwards since we got into league 1. Of those forwards we have one who if he doesn’t score goals he is a passenger, we have a forward who has payed around 30 games in 3 seasons because of injury, we have another forward who is untested and only scored his 1000 goals in a Welsh part time league, another forward who was on loan in level 6 or 7 last year and one forward who looks decent.

 Same old problem of not being able to beat teams below us, at home, including it appears even when we have the massive advantage of having an extra man at 1-0 up. It’s unlikely we’ll go down this season simply because two teams effectively already are. Strangely though, it might make 19/20 really dull (same-old fare as last year, but less riding on it. Therefore... more likely the same old fare as last year...)

 After the form so far this season I do not understand why people think we can play 3-5-2 either. Have we got to a point where we cannot play any formation effectively?

 Stu - agree we are not a good side but I think we can contend in the bottom 8 league. As we discussed Tuesday a lot depends on Appiah. He put a shift in Tuesday and looks a constant threat, rewarded with 90 minutes sat on his arse.

 Missed you today SNN. You know where I am before the game so either you were late arriving or you forgot to catch me.

 Timely reminder: Wally hasn’t a pot to piss in, hence a £450 a week left back and ‘I couldn’t give a fuck Trott’ with West Spam paying his wage and he’s a shoe in (even tho he was average at best mid week). But there is a real ‘timid’ malaise all over this club. We need the sterilised Wally off his Erik leash.

 I think we are in serious trouble. I understand people saying that once Will and Woody come back we are a better team. We have to pray we get no injuries as we have a very weak squad outside our strongest eleven.

 Thats a saturday afternoon i wont get back utter shit , we need a method of playing and stick to it at the moment i think the players are as clueless as i am as to what the team is trying to achieve . Or is it that they are simply not good enough to do what Wally wants ? Wally is no mug he has them at training all week ffs ! Or is it a financial issue ? Whatever it is something needs to be done as we wont fill km let alone plough lane ! Have a go run at defenders get crosses into the box i love the long ball but lets make we are just not lumping it blindly !

 As a midfielder, Wagstaff needs to learn how to tackle.

 Norris - don't think there will be more players but I do think O'Neil and Reilly will grow in to leaders when they establish themselves. Add Will and Woody and we should be ok but it's going to get worse before it gets better.

 Thought Wagstaff was decent today. As I have said before, if Piggot doesn’t score, he does nothing to effect the game.

 Wagstaff is definitely marmite [YUK] (mmm). From the main stand most of our good work in the first 60 minutes came from him and O’Neill down the right. Agree with all who thought that our substitutions were bizarre - Wally may have been a coach for years, but tactically we were appalling after Accy went down to 10...

 Every game we serve up the same shit which hands the opposition the initiative. Happened under Ardley and now happening under Wally. Something not quite ticking as it should at the club or it’s that glass ceiling we’ve hit and can’t recover from.

 2 new players in before transfer window and Will and Words back is like 4 new players from todays team,doubtful it will happen but is what is needed for any chance of a half decent season.I thought Ardleys subs were bad but todays made his look sensible.

 I can't understand the positions piggot takes up. Good goalscorers play the width of the penalty area. The amount of times he was out on the wing to cross it with folvoli standing next to him. Nobody in the box, brain dead football

 Hawkins didn’t even make the bench for Pompey today, he’s a big tall unit perfect for Piggy to play off

 RK - Just goes to show how football ends up being about opinions and your location when watching the game. For me and many around me, Wagstaff was very poor. Also, as demonstrated last season, Joe is not a good target man. He’s a ball-playing centre forward who thrives when he has a big fella taking some weight off him.

 I am still struggling to understand these substitutions today even after listening to Wally’s interview. We had two forwards on the bench and we brought on a left back for a left back, a winger to play in midfield for Reilly and then McLaughlin for Wagstaff. They were down to ten men but the subs actually weakened us. We threw away 3 points when the next lot of games look unlikely we will pick up any for a while.

 We were decent up to their sending off. Not sure what happened then but maybe we relaxed a bit and then clearly struggled to make any inroads. Subsitions were meh. Wagstaff had a good game but Piggott struggled in the target man role.

 Hugely disappointing. Decent first half and deserved the lead. Dreadful substitutions, both in terms of personnel and timing. Wagstaff should have been replaced much earlier. Nesta was having a decent game and Osew should have come on and played further forward, inviting him to take on their defenders. Also, as Carshalton Don remarked, play the triangles and wear them down, not lump it to a 6ft 5in centre back. It was brainless.
