Portsmouth v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[Irish Ian]

It's all set up for them nicking one just around HT

[The Subhuman]

Shame, not a good first touch from Piroe.

[SG90]

Dare I say it..... But we look a little jaded just like last season.

Don't feel we have been at the races since Sheffield game. Just look a bit off the pace... Hard to put my finger on what but slightly over hit passes less ruthlessness, sluggish maybe?

I don't think Gruev helps the transition in the same way Rothwell or or Ampadu do. Seems like he ticks the game over, similar to Tanaka but less effective.

We haven't had any rotation since Christmas other than Gruev/Rothwell. Farke is not known to rest tired or under performing players, but we could really do with a couple of changes on Weds.

Are we bad or are Portsmouth good?

[The Subhuman]

Good defence, Solomon, Firpo and Gruev.

[Finnatic]

We are losing the ball in the final third that’s why we’ve been under the threat of the counterattack .

[Orange Box]

Our wing combinations not working in either defence or attack. Gruev doing okay, Tanaka still in his pit. Meslier looks commanding for once. We’ve got a game on our hands.

[SG90]

Are we bad or are Portsmouth good?

Not doing the basics and Pompey are up for it

[The Subhuman]

Are we bad or are Portsmouth good?

We're poor,

[SG90]

Good save from Solomon

[airedale]

Pompey playing well and working hard ,lets hope they tire 2nd half ,brilliant save from their keeper.

[Irish Ian]

As usual turn their keeper into a worldie

[YorkshireSquare]

Piroe should have put that rebound away there!

[Orange Box]

How does Piroe not score there? Massive chance lost. Good saves though

[John in Louisiana]

How did we not score?

[JoeDenver]

That sounds horribly reminiscent of how things started to turn out in the last 11 games of last season.

I hope that not strengthening in Jan doesn't have the same outcome that it has had I'm several previous seasons. I thought that finally they might have learnt that lesson - but historically this club never learns from its past mistakes.

More players wouldn’t have changed things. The same players would’ve still been flogged to death. Do recall, we have an embarrassment of riches on the bench.

[Finnatic]

Excellent double save , maybe Piroe should have done better.

[The Subhuman]

Brilliant double save by their keeper. Solomon through a crowd and Piroe from point blank

[JoeDenver]

How Piroe doesn’t bury that is beyond me

[Jaydog]

Piroe should score.
