    Poor management has cost us today. Ah well, onto the next one…

    Well the 2nd half was a bit more like it. I think Styles O'Keeffe and Dodgeson must start on Saturday.

    More learned.

    1. We can play football and we have a decent attack.
    2. Defensively a shambles. Midfield and the back.
    3. We cannot get promoted with that defence.
    4. Need to sort out who is doing what in midfield.
    5. O Keefe should be a starter. So should Styles.
    6. Collins will get some stick but he can only deal the cards he has and he can’t even chose his deck.

    Absolutely couldn't be any different to the first half. I'm gutted we didn't manage to draw level. I thought that second half performance warranted it.

    But it was a tall order from the shambles of the 1st half, and it was even more obvious that they would play every trick in the book to waste time. 7 minutes of which I didn't think we're long enough. And they wasted half of that too

    Noble second half effort

    Which ought not however to be used to disguise our deficiencies

    That’s 3 home defeats already, none of which have been undeserved

    Coach has not yet put out our best first 11, in my humble opinion

    I left at half time and have just got home.
    Glad to hear we played better second half albeit the first half was one of the worst displays I have ever had the displeasure to witness

    jury is still out on Collins for me, he’s had a ‘mare tonight.

    He doesn't know our best 11 probably still won't have a clue come December by looks.

    Poor player, we saw last season he wasn’t good enough so f’k knows why we chose to bring him back and actually spend money on him.

    How he’s getting picked ahead of Marsh after Marsh’s cameos this season is beyond ridiculous.

    Agreed, but even so we're in and around where we want to be. I'll take touching distance by xmas, given the changes over the summer. I think we're just about on for that, with a few unexpected positive extras thrown in.

    I will concede it probably is tough for him though, because players leaving late, joining late & loads of injuries. Connell alone is a huge miss and will hopefully replace Kane. I said earlier Styles needs to earn his way back to the starting 11 and I think hes done that today

    If he gets while December might as well focus on preparing for next season.

    Styles, Kane and Phillips can all be outstanding for us if their allowed to be. Collins needs to work it out because that first half was shocking and shouldn't happen at this level with the players that he's got.

    Some frankly insane hysteria on here tonight. You'd swear half the fanbase don't understand that sometimes we'll win games and sometimes we'll lose.

    We were due to piss the league after the last win, now we're a shambles. Neither is remotely true.

    Agree with what you say about styles should start Saturday now and should be looking a class above at this level hasn't so far. Hopefully he kicks on now.

    Team Selection played a massive part in the defeat. Very poor from Collins. Portsmouth aren’t Burton. Against Portsmouth you play your best players

    We will finish mid table I would have thought.
    The reaction to the first half is fully justified- it was utterly appalling in every way possible
