You just can’t make this bobbar up! Let’s all forget those teams that have been bottom come the turn of the new year, and got promoted in May.... We’re ten points behind the Play Offs, our season is over! When did that last happen in the Championship? I genuinely have forgotten! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players are looking like they don’t know what theyre doing and even Bannan suggested in a recent interview that they don’t know what style of football to play. That should speak volumes about the current state of the first team. Yesterday a lot of the players looked disinterested and had the body language that they didn’t want to be there. It would take a miraculous second half of the season to make the play offs and quite frankly can anyone see that happening. Carlos will leave at the end of the season, unless we get promoted, so do we need to start planning for next year? Is it a write off or do we give him the rest of the season? Or do we bring in someone now who can start looking at the team and would effectively have 2 transfer windows to get a team ready for next season? Season was over when CC didn't get the boot after Udders disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to re-group, get a new coaching team in, clear out as much deadwood as possible in January and the summer. Right. If we do that, do you think it’s possible we might make the Play Offs?

Nah, I’ve forgotten as well. It has happened. Most recently in League One to the Championship. But apparently our season is over.

No, it’s not like it needs a bit of fine tuning Fundamental issues, like a lack of strength, and no pace whatsoever We need to rip it up and start again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS season was over, after our Play Off defeat LAST season?! Well, why didn’t someone notify the rest of us so we could have saved the money we spent on Season Tickets?

And last year’s league was much stronger than this in my opinion. To me, if we have a change of leadership, get someone in that can get the chemicals mixed, and get the players sharp again then we can be well in with a chance.

The players aren't good enough - a midfield of Bannan, Lee, Hutch and Wallace in the final needed upgrading immediately after. We are living on past glories - not even successful glories.

I think i understand your point pompey - you said in answer to the point about fundamental change, the players that got us to two play offs just need to get sharp again and we'll be alreyt. I disagree, and I would say half the team needs replacing - i.e. at least five new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyowl Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just now, RichSheffWeds said: No Fair enough. I personally think that 10 points with over half the season to play for isn’t as tall an order to overcome. Despite this I don’t think we’ll cut that much of a deficit with the current management in charge. In my opinion we need a new man in charage to stoke the fire again. If we do this early enough I think we can mount a genuine promotion attempt, but it would need to be done sharpish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind that says more about the management than the ability of the players. We just appear a team with no direction or leadership. To me, a change in management will reignite the chemicals that are not currently mixing. If we changed now, the new management would have the whole of the January transfer window to get those last additions, and then we have a long time until season end. It just seems very strange to me that, with over half the season remaining, people are debating whether the season is already over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves, Cardiff, Bristol City, Villa and Derby will be there. They are just too strong. Leaves one spot. I think it will be pigs or Middlesborough, probably Middlesborough.

Bouncing Owl Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 This season is definitely over. If I was the Chairman, I would make the change now and start to do some wheeling and dealing in advance to forming a new team for next season. We need to get rid of a load but trust me, this will not be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure they’re as lovked as you think. I think Bristol City will go through a rough patch. Derby always roger it up. Pigs aren’t as good as they think, and I reckon they’ll drop. Villa should be up there with Wolves, but Cardiff are running a lot on luck. They certainly don’t look strong enough for top two from what I’ve seen. We are more than capable of competing for a spot, but we’re not getting that capability at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is there are at least 6 other teams will probably get more points out of the remaining games than us. Everyone isn’t going to stand still so we can catch them eg...Blades 1 point from last 12 and we are still 10 behind them. So unfortunately yes it’s all over bar the shouting. IMHO time to get someone in now to get things ready for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
