as long as we dont try and do the impossible ( under DB) , try and sit on a 1 goal lead, and don't sit deeper and deeper, and deeper we might just upset the odds and the recent form books and nick a valuable away win - though to do that were going to need to attack with meaning and get shots on target

here's hoping

 

[LeftSideLarry]

4 nil defeat.

That always worries me especially after we score so early on in the first half and the fans start singing 1-0 to the Oxford boys with over 30 mins in the first half left to go let alone the 45 mins second half

 

[JimSmith2]

Last chance saloon of the many last chance saloons Des has has drunk at.

 

[Oxford84]

Lang will score and Bishop will score.

 

[greatunclekip]

Can’t see anything other than 4 nil Pompey unfortunately.

 

[Victor1986]

There's an air of inevitability about it isn't there. We have been so poor that I can't see any other outcome than defeat - but it's a funny old game!

 

[windmill]

The spectre of Alan Biley rears it's ugly head!! A recurring nightmare. Let's go there and get the three points. The quality is there to do it.

 

[Swaby39]

All I want is for Des to unshackle us. Let’s go after them from the off. If it don’t work and we get beat, at least we had a right go.

He’d be daft to go in to this and put the handbrake on. We need to win the game having dropped 5 routine points last week so that really rules a draw acceptable but insufficient.

More than one way to win the game of course, and you can sit low and be a major threat with our pace, but Pompey will face that every week and we’ve shown no evidence of being effective playing that way under Des. It’ll make us sitting ducks.

Would be great to see us control the first 15 minutes, not concede, and assert ourselves on the game. Line up will be interesting. Nervous about this one.

 

[windmill]

John Milkins. OK, too long ago for most of you. Finished the game as he started....never a hair out of place.

 

[Victor1986]

Why doesn’t he play Goodwin and Harris together?

 

[Scotchegg]

Why doesn’t he play Goodwin and Harris together?

He has. Second half against Wycombe.

 

[Jster]

I'm less of a Des doubter than some, but even I can't see us getting anything in this one.

 

[bazzer9461]

The question is will Tyler Burey start or be on the bench at least

 

[Jster]

No Burey. No sign of Goodrham either. Or Sam Long!

Team today

 

[Swaby39]

Well, I’d argue that’s our strongest XI even when all fit. Toss of a coin on Harris or Goodwin, I’d have probably gone for Goodwin today since were likely to be pinned in most of the time. Can’t complain about what’s available.

No excuses today.

 

[bazzer9461]

Think in this case we’ve done seeing Burry again. Doesn’t seem to be an injury but an attitude

 

[Blox21]

You spend all that money on Goodwin and still don’t start him

 

[BigAlan]

Losing again, no triers on the team, oh well sorry Des.
