Can't see Mark Hughes (Stoke), lasting much longer

The one bright spot of the day. Absolutely can't stand the petulant prick. Hope he gets a handshake on his way out the door.

Scottish handshake?

The only blame you can really place on KR is that he plays 4231 way too much.

It’s not his fault we have a donkey as our first choice striker

87' SUB | Joe Aribo off, Ben Reeves on. #cafc

Come on Reeves you have at least 3 minutes to win the game

Why bring someone on for the last 3 minutes?

89' CLOSE! Great save by McGee to deny Best's header on the line. #cafc

Best rises to meet a cross from the right, but McGee gets down to make a fine save (89 mins) #pompey

Truly baffled why it has taken so long to bring Reeves on. Robinson waited far too long to start bringing subs on, and he's now given Ben Reeves maybe five minutes with stoppage time to try to make a difference.

Aribo off. Not spectacular tonight but solid. Shown he has the ability to play in this side. I'm just not convinced by him and JFC in the midfield together. I think they want to take up the same positions. Dijksteel should have started for me and didn't even make the bench ffs.

Dropping out of the top six by Christmas will help ease the obvious pressure on the players caused by expectation of a goal/point/anything.

90+1 Three minutes added. #cafc

What’s happened to Holmes, doesn’t seem to influence the game, in the way he did early part of the season?

It was a really good save. Fear there will be no Peterborough style comeback for us tonight. To be frank we don't deserve it. We've been awful.

3 mins added is hilarious, they spent the entire game wasting time.

Probably there's a good reason for that?

90+2 Holmes goes down in the box. Calls for a penalty, but nothing doing. #cafc

ross1

Holmes goes down in the box and the home crowd want a penalty, but the ref's not interested (90+1 mins) #pompey
