No Lee, you gifted it to them with the team selection and formation.

Best player in the last few games, of course he starts on the bench. Predictably Millar was our best player when he came on. Still doesn't know his best team (hasn't a year and 1/2), rotates constantly, football is dire, defence a shambles but we don't need a CB apparently. We're in league one ffs, try a settled 11 for once you might actually get somewhere. Bowyer is not the man to take us forward.
We could have bought a dominant centre half on Jan 1 and not conceded half the goals we have in the past 8 games. For me, that is the biggest strategic error of all.

Well there you go fella's who don't think Bowyer can put a foot wrong and its always the players fault. Even he is accepting we are under performing.
Not much to say about that other than this being the first game I paid for and I was quite impressed with the Valley Pass production. Maybe when we get Innis and Famewo back we might be a bit more stable at the back but we are not finishing anywhere near top 6 this season. Maybe my expectations were too high early on after getting a new owner bringing a bit of stability.
Our only plan all night seemed to be knock it up to stockley and play off the knock downs, the amount of aimless crosses put in by Matthews was laughable
Wish that was the plan. It actually seemed to be knock it up to Stockley and ignore the fact he's winning everything by being far too far from him.
Oh my Christ, I am a big Lee fan but some of the stuff he has said is bizarre. Just mentioned about going for top2 or 'staying' in the top6. Come on Lee ffs, everyone can see the table, we would be fortunate to get top6 at this point, stay in it Jesus wept.
12 wins at least we need, I don't see it, the defense is just too poor
Anyone know when Portsmouth have lost in the league when being referred by Lee Swabey. He appears to have an interesting record with them.
Yeah bit fishy him dribbling through the middle of our defence and planting one in the top corner....
Oh wait no hang on, Lee Bowyer could have been the referee tonight and we would have lost, stop looking for excuses away from the players and staff
The point is that everytime they were tackled they fell over and were given a foul and a free kick. Not being treated equally frustrated our players. The penalty not given even when Swabey had a clear view. We may not have won under Madleyas ref, but we were not treated evenly.
Pompey look to have 100% record in the league under Swabey officiating.

shite set up
Therein lies some of the problem, it's not all about Bows as a player/manager any more.
Don't be a snob. He's come out of canning town and doesn't pretend to be anything he's not.
It's not childish it's abject snobbery.

even concerned for those that have top half.

No they aren't Lee. But their manager is better than you.
That's a fucking joke in itself.
There is certainly a mates mates mentality.

Schrodingers CB
Apparently we lost to some wonder goals tonight.
It's getting embarrassing.
PS Rochdale's pitch will be shit.
