Shocking standard of football, all supporters should be refunded, or on second thoughts given compensation for that. Worst game since Preston Boxing Day 4/5 years back Devoid of any class, vision or ambition, apart one gem of genius from Fuller and a great run from Wilko. Painful to watch I don't know what to say about our midfield!  |

We just need all 11 players to get stuck in and chase everything - like Lawrence when he came on. When we arse about and leave space for the opposition we look very poor.

There was no tempo, we didn't win anything in midfield which sat to deep. The only time we strung a couple of passes together it ended up in the net. Two awful sides on display today and we are very, very fortunate to have 3 points.

disgustingly horrible and an embarrasment to football.Win,draw or lose,is not diguising the fact that to pick a team like that at home,against the bottom club stinks of a manager who is scared shitless of letting his defense defend correctly.That team was totaly devoid of playing any sort of football and i feel it will get worse.I knowe some smart arse will come on here and say artent we fucking lucky we arent wigan and i would say arent we fucking lucky we didnt play a team who could score goals

totally agree mate,i find it so frustrating to see players like whitehead,collins,delap and diao trundling about,unable to hold the ball,pass or beat a man,it drives me round the fucking bend!!i thought huth was a liability,beattie anonymous and fuller not on it at all until that brilliant goal, and as for the fast tracking return of mama(bless him!)what on earth is going on?he jumped around so ineffectually it was laughable.
the positives came from ethers,lawrence and wilco,and you know why?....COS THEY ACTUALLY TRIED TO PLAY SOME FUCKING FOOTBALL WHICH RESULTED IN A GOAL AND A NEAR MISS WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOAL OF THE SEASON NOMINEE.!!
but anyway, fuck it, we won,got the three points and i expect exactly the same level of frustration next week!

It is so easy this game when you play players in positions that they can go about there business. As soon as we lost the fucking 2 midfielders sitting on the toes of the C/H's and had Liam giving us movement down the right and Ethers down the left only then did we look anything like a team. Fucking Pulis quit trying to prove a point and play your cunting players who are better in the areas they are comfortable.... Big mention to Wilko who was tremendous today, closley followed once again by Ehters.
Whitehead was so much more comfortable once he had Delap taking over the tackling role in the middle.

Very poor game and not a great performance. However, 3 points and a clean sheet, and we're now 12 points ahead of Pompey, whereas it might have been 6 had we been beaten. Most of our 'relegation' rivals also fared worse than us e.g. Bolton, Fulham, Wigan , Wolves, West Ham, Burnley etc, so overall, it's very much a case of 'it's the result that counts' rather than the manner in whgich it was earned. Positives include: Wilko's performance - most commited performance, even prior to his barnstorming run. Ric finally gets a league goal, which will hopefully lead to more. Tuncay came on and wasn't immediately subbed off again, and Lenny had an impact from the bench! We managed to defend a lead at last, and looked better in the 2nd half for a change. Negatives: Midfield was pretty anonymous, apart from Ethers, who did ok today. We largely didn't look like scoring. Pompey controlled most of the possession, and it's only because they are incapable of hitting a barn door at this level that we won. Well done Potters though, vital 3 points there!! |

today has made it clear for all to see - you cannot play delap, whitehead and diao as your midfield with only matty as a midfield creator. after the introduction of lawrence we started to play some decent football in some part because he is capable and prepared to break forward to support our forwards and give their defence something to worry about.
stoke play best with a choice of two from delap, whitehead, diao and whelan. and with two wide men with the ability to attack, create yet still work aaard from lenny, matty and I would add tuncay to this list.
we got away with it today so yes well done TP for the 3 points and wait for it....9th place! but please please use our creative players their good enough and we are better with them on the pitch.

Unfortunately, there has developed a line of thinking on this board that any attempt to inject any form of creativity, composure or accurate passing into our set up will result in the humiliation of relegation.  Didn't you know life only consists of extremes, there is only a sad and empty void in the middle??? |

Pulis talked about evolution rather than revolution in the summer. What we are watching is regression.

A poor match played ugly by two teams, but we won. That'll do for me right now.
At the end of the seaon, every point won ugly orpretty will keep us up, as well as put money into the club.
Time to get our feet back on the ghround and realize, managers mistakes in selection and all, that we are a newly promoted club playing in the best leagyue in the world, against some of the best teams in the world. Pompey are an established Prem team, and we beat them. I don't care how we beat them, the points er just as vaulable.
Yes, I'd love to see flowing football and winning, but that's not for now, so of the two, I'll take the win.
Pompey fand saw their team play ugly and lose!

we showed no ambition to try and win the game, we did by default BUT that was an horrendous performance from a team sent out to play for a 0-0. Pulis probaly bollocked Rici for being positive and actually having a shot  |

Shocking standard of football, all supporters should be refunded, or on second thoughts given compensation for that. Worst game since Preston Boxing Day 4/5 years back Devoid of any class, vision or ambition, apart one gem of genius from Fuller and a great run from Wilko. Painful to watch I don't know what to say about our midfield! Spot on mate..it was absolute rubbish.. Fuller saved Pulis from a mauling by the fans today..I've not seen people who sit next to me that pissed off for a long time.. Somethings gone wrong down Stoke |
