no mvuemba, no johnson... our right could be shakey ntraore, no belhadj... our left could be shakey! intresting line up there - diara on the bench though has to be a goodish sign...
pompeycarpet
No Belhadj in full squad, nice to see Hermann get a run out though
paultsmouth
belhadj has a toe injury...
pompeyrug
would have like to have seen wilson given a go on the right side of midfield, and had it been at home 'maybe' he would have started as opposed to boobup diop? i think that hermann deserves to keep his place tbh.
pompeyrug
Big surprise for me is Diarra on the bench, just maybe we will see him in a Pompey shirt again.
pompeyyong
As long as he doesn't get injured again! That would be more than costly
paultsmouth
i bet storrie is bricking it! very surprised he is on the bench, but surely is on it to potentially play - why 'waste' a player on the bench if there was not a thought of playing him? mvuemba could easily have been on it in that case...
pompeyrug
mvuemba hasnt exactly been rubbish, so maybe he has an injury? diarra on the bench has got to be good, and i can definitely see wilson coming off the bench to make an impact late on.
jbaker
ah man, had to be matty...
jbaker
jesus christ!
pompeyrug
Not a great start though!!
eastneydave
what's going on - less than 3 minutes and we 'could' already be 2-0 down, 3-1 win is still on tho...
pompeyrug
or not... christ!
pompeyrug
oh.my.god
jbaker
What the ***** ?
Chix
what is going on
pompeyyong
we could get an absolutely spanking today - maybe karma is coming back to even things up after last season...
pompeyrug
If they are playing as described at least nobody will want to buy any of them !!... shame really ! - Oh well I predicted 4-2 in the forum... I hope things pick up !
Chix
im glad iv only got the quay. this is shocking.
jbaker
Kranjcar and Pamarot are having a mare.. come to think of it they all are really
Chix
great day all round for allardyce...
jbaker
whack on wilson and traore already...
jbaker
or Diarra jbakes ??
Chix
From what I am hearing, it is all Bolton and we are second best by a long way
paultsmouth
yeah diarra could do a job, but where would he play? sounds like the wings are our problem atm. sounds like once we lose belhadj, traore, gj and mvuemba we get trounced.
jbaker
yes, come on pompey - nice one crouchy!
pompeyrug
More like it!
paultsmouth
yessssss!
jbaker
the comeback is on...
pompeyrug
Morale is low, nobody knows where their future lies and I don't think many of them want to play for us. Our midfield looks ridiculously weak at the moment.
stillthewhizz
Game on..maybe my 4-2 IS on... equal before half time maybe ??
Chix
can here the pompey crowd now, come on Pompey!
pompeyyong
if we are level at the break we will win...
pompeyrug
its anazing the difference one goal makes!
jbaker
i'm back... much happened?
pompeycarpet
Has anybody else lost sound on the quay ?
Chix
come on pompey - we look like we have some belief now.
pompeyrug
refresh (F5) the page chixy and it 'should' come back...
pompeyrug
the portsmouth fc site is much more reliable I think...
pompeycarpet
hermann you have redeemed yourself mate!
pompeyrug
Pamarot is having a **cking nightmare!
paultsmouth
well done hermann. and yeah chix i lost sound but its working again now.
jbaker
defoe is bang off form at the moment isnt he...
pompeyrug
and i fear defoe could go off today - sent off!
pompeyrug
even though papas done nothing wrong, i can see him coming off for traore, with niko going on the right. defoe off for kanu later?
jbaker
get wilson or traore on - i would still go for wilson, his delivery was perfect the other day, used as a right sided midfielder if he offers crouchy and defoe the service we will score.
pompeyrug
if only we could have four subs. i would put wilson, traore, diarra and nugent/kanu on.
jbaker
Do wonder if Defoe is still with us, he is right off it
paultsmouth
chasing a game it would have to be nugent, holding it kanu - so nugent 'should' come on...
agree about defoe, his mind isnt here, is it elsewhere...
pompeyrug
here we go let's have a better half.
pompeyyong
Second half start .. let's see an equaliser.. quick .. then on to the win.. COME ON POMPEY !
Chix
if we could get around 15m for defoe, who would we be able to get in on the cheap?
jbaker
Defoe needs a goal real bad, then it might help him to get back on form
pompeyyong
jamo you lucky, lucky man... again!
pompeyrug
James nearly done it again!
pompeyyong
i think its time for adams to seriously start thinking about making a change...
pompeyrug
seriously need to change it, we cant just hope for a goal, we need to take it to bolton...
jbaker
Diarra to come on
pompeyyong
here he comes... madrid move not as 'cut and dried' as we thought - at the end of the day we still pay his wages dont we!
pompeyrug
Hughes gone off
pompeyyong
Diarra on
Chix
at least with diarra we know he will give his all until he goes
jbaker
Come on Pompey let's step it up...
Chix
keep losing the quay most anoying
pompeyyong
do we really know that tho bakes? i would hope so tho...
pompeyrug
get some width on tony.
pompeyrug
we do not look like scoring but the amount of chances that bolton are missing are making me think 'maybe, just maybe we will still get something'...
pompeyrug
Come on Pompey a point would be good ... we are giving them so many chances luckily they are missing them .... surely Defoes percentage must be due a goal
Chix
nugent is coming on - come on dave!
pompeyrug
A point would be like a win now
paultsmouth
Nugent for Defoe or 4-3-3 I know what I'd do .. 4-3-3 everyday
Chix
true rug, wishful thinking i guess. nuge on!
jbaker
Nugent looks as if hes on for Diop
pompeyyong
nugent will play out on the right wont he - and i suspect he will offer more in the last 15 than boobup has in his 75.
pompeyrug
with 3 strikers on now, surely we need wilson or traore on to put some good balls in.
jbaker
Nice one Tony 4-3-3 Nuge for Diop .. Come on Nuge
Chix
Game seems to be all about first touches, Taylor has got his, Defoe needs 3 right now
paultsmouth
scum 0 forrest 2
pompeyyong
Scum 2 down at home, every cloud....
paultsmouth
Last ten let's do a Milan !
Chix
not that hopeful of us getting back into the game tbh...
pompeyrug
No me neither Rug but more wishful thinking on my part ...
Chix
If we score, it will have to be a sucker punch, Bolton have hammered us to be fair
paultsmouth
Hermann up front, Diarra at Centre half, Nugent on the right wing.. What is going on !
Chix
Pompey have lost all direction of late, things looking grim
paultsmouth
the final chance gone...
pompeyrug
ah defoe you mug!
jbaker
Defoe misses another
paultsmouth
10th place and very worrying ... We need a win against West Ham otherwise we could be in the bottom three by the end of Jan.. with Arsenal, Spurs and Man City to come... It's just not good enough. We lack passion, hardwork and most importantly ideas we must improve and QUICK .. !
Chix
that was it last chance gone dohh!
pompeyyong
Dire
paultsmouth
cant say anymore than chix has already said!
jbaker
we got what we deserved today - poor again, is it because players are worried about their own futures or already see their futures elsewhere. again we are playing as a side not a 'team'...
pompeyrug
I was at Gun Wharf with the family. At 3pm I looked at the skies for divine inspiration & wished the boys well. 4 minutes later I was watching sky sports telling me we were 2-0 down. WTF is happening to our team????
