Portsmouth Match Thread (starting on page 5)

Never mind, onto next week. As disappointing as today is, we carry on winning every other week and we'll be more than fine.

The next two home games are vital. Gillingham and Oldham. Lose them and Adams needs to go.

The football is dire. He also now has the same issue that got Sheridan sacked. Cant get anything out of games when you go behind.

Yeah cause we've been winning every other game for the past few months :banghead:

Well we have for the last few weeks, I'm not sure how some posters can't see how we haven't turned the corner after a catastrophic start.

That catastrophic start and run of red cards is the reason we're bottom. Our current form is almost play off standard.

 

[samjones]

Normal service resumes. We were dreadful. Better team won, other team didn't turn up let alone attempt to score.
Cant wait to see DA's post match comments about how unlucky we were and we didn't takeout chances :facepalm:

I largely agree. Some of the drama queens need to look at the overall picture. 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats from our last 9 games is the sort of form that will gradually take us to safety. It's a whole heap better than what preceded that run.

This was never going to be a game where we were expected to get anything so we slog on and look forward to next week. Imagine DA has some transfer window targets to strengthen and give us some much needed bite in the not too distant weeks.

 

[oldage]

We have now won 4 out of 20 league games.Obviously DA's tactics are working a treat. The only positive is that remarkably we are only 3 points from safety.
Goals win games and we just don't look like scoring,but what's new!

Haha, Read the comments before the game, it seems many were confident of at least 1 point.
We assumed he had targets for the summer too.

How many times under Adams have we won going a goal behind ,fingers of one hand I suspect :facepalm:

The problem is......

Our playoff form only occurs when we score first. Its relegation form if we concede first. You cant keep losing games if you concede first.

You cant expect Argyle to survive relegation if they cant draw, let alone win games when they are behind. Look at the games this season and when Argyle have conceded first. You cant keep expecting Argyle to score the first goal in matches for the rest of the season either.

As was said after the unwarranted hype after we beat Northampton , if we couldn't beat them we deserve to go down. Still do & will am afraid

Turned the corner? Hmmm. We are still bottom of the league.

90% of the wins have been all but unconvincing.

It beggars belief that some think because we have been utterly terrible in the past the fact the football and results are now only just terrible, we take that as a positive and remain positive!!

This setup and structure wont get us out of trouble this season. The biggest chance we have is hoping that 4 other teams are even worse than us. Maybe Taylor and Oscar will have a positive effect but the problem still stops at Adams tactics and setup.

Yes, but we don’t need to score first in every game. Assuming we win when we score first, then doing it once every three games should see us safe. We may also sign the players in January who can make that ratio a bit better, especially now that DA has a better indication of what’s required.

Agree that it’s mightily disappointing that we can’t come from behind, but there is no way that we should or (more importantly) will make a managerial change any time soon. The end of the season is a better time to have that conversation, whether we stay up or not.

At the moment we're averaging 4pts every 3 matches. Not exactly terrible is it?

 

[Biggs]

It feels like banging your head against a brick wall sometimes, but 5th in the form table over the last 6 games before today isn’t ‘terrible’.

Not sure what position it is now, but win v Gillingham and it will be back up to about that. Again, it’s utterly crucial to see that we are bottom because of a shocking run of results and reds in September. Keep doing what we’re doing now and we’ll be fine, hopefully with some quality acquisitions in January.
