- Thread starter Northstandboy
- Start date
Yeah don’t give derby the chance to catch up on points. Job done I guess. Do the ends justify the means?

You’re right, that Kioso effort that nearly hit the corner flag and the Brownie screamer that nearly cleared the stand changed everything.
The missus asked me yesterday how I find football interesting. After tonight I kind of see her point.
Anyway, another point.
Onward!

A point is a point. Better than a loss. Three points on Saturday it is then !

Well that was a fighting point.
Managed to stop the mighty Derby from getting their nailed on 3 points from the Conference side they played this evening.
Oh, sorry, been listening to the Sky commentary for too long

That was a waste of time! 
Might as well agreed a point each to start with and saved us all the trouble...

Negatives:
- Very little quality on the ball
- Harris doesn't look like he's ever going to score again
- Our set pieces were poor (which is particularly disappointing as they've been much better of late)
- Just generally very boring and lacklustre
Positives:
- Mills looked good
- The subs generally improved us
- Clean sheet and a point away from home
- Very little quality on the ball
- Harris doesn't look like he's ever going to score again

Really disappointed by our lack of ambition today. The way we started under Rowett has started to evolve into football with very little attacking threat. We've scored 1 goal in our last 4 games; that's just not good enough.

To be fair, if you’ve only supported us for ten weeks then you picked a pretty good time period from the last 25 years.

Poor performance against a poor league 1 tribute team.
2 points dropped.

Without the ball that’s a 10/10 performance! Problem is with the ball it was about 2/10.
Loved watching their crowd boo as Derby had no choice but to go backwards over and over again. If you’re being honest they haven’t threatened us much at all in the second half bar a couple of brief flashpoints.
Positives - Mills looks like he has something to offer. I thought he and Rodrigues were instrumental in helping us alleviate pressure by keeping the ball higher up. And all of the back four were just immense.
We were pretty unanimous we’d be delighted with 4 points from the next two games. Well there is 1 of them - and from an away game where we’ve been pretty poor. Take it all day long…

That was hard watching.
That was poor - be amazed if we play a team worse than Derby for the rest of the season. Would have taken a point before hand however having watched the game I wouldn’t have
Only positive is Mills at least looked like he could get to the line and cross it in.
Feel we should have gone more out for the win.

It's weird - imagine if we'd snatched a point away at Coventry in that ding-dong battle. Elation!
Tonight, a world of 'meh' for the same 'result'. Football eh?

Last 15 were much better but overall that was totally dire. You wonder where the next goal is coming from.
Hopefully we can snatch a win from Pompey somehow.

Very poor game. Slightly better last 20 minutes. Good to see Mills back. Another point towards safety. COYY

What a s**t show.
My patience is gone with Harris. As for the rest, well, they turned up, put the right shirt on and that was about it. Thankfully, Derby were even worse. Surely that has to rate as one of the worst performances for some time?

Absolutely no threat from our forwards.
Stan Mills looked our biggest threat, unfortunately nobody read his crosses correctly

That keeps derby away from us and still in the relegation zone and another point to safety. Miserable boring game and we are lacking in Ideas mills could help our goals dilemma as at least he is creative and gets the ball into the box onto the next game Portsmouth.
They look better than derby at the moment. We all would have taken this league position at the start of the season but need to get back to winning ways.
Edit. Derby just out of the zone

Take that
But toothless in attack which is still concerning.

This is essentially it. He's mapping a route to safety and it's clear to see that, to him at least, any away point is a point gained.
It was an absolutely dire game of football but it is easily a better result for us than it is for Derby. They were at home against a side with seemingly zero ambition to win the game and they couldn't even really put sustained, heavy pressure together, it was the easiest point away from home we'll ever get.

Goodness me, I managed to book a holiday online, cut my toenails, and shave my pubic region whilst watching that dross…half heartedly clapped the players off and heading back to the car as we speak.
I expect we did what Rowett wanted; don’t lose.
Unfortunately it gives ammunition to the moaners..
It’s safe, it’s solid, but it ain’t pretty.
But if it works, I’ll take it this season.
Onto Saturday. Be positive.

Mills definitely the positive from tonight. Could be a shrewd signing. Got to be worth a go with Romeny up front unless he really isn't impressing in training. Harris simply isn't Championship standard.
It's a better point for us then Derby.
