Gutted about today but when will pulis learn, the reason we let so many late goals in is because we sit back all the time. Why oh why did he play Faye and diao they offer nothing going forward, we need to realize our home form alone is not going to keep us up, sort it out

The truth is, we play like that every week, it's only when it doesn't work that people moan, when it does nobody really cares how we play, for instance the Arsenal game, we didn't play a whole lot different than we did today in that game, it's just that we won, so everyone forgets we sat back for long periods.
It is very frustrating, but it's the way Pulis plays the game, no doubt it won't be the last time we concede a late goal this season because we sit back.

Today was more about sloppy mistakes by individuals. Whoever played Nugent onside for the first and then Cresswell and Pugh for the second. We missed Etherington as outlet on the left and we missed pace up front. Yet we had Camara on the bench Diao played well today I thought.

We've been looking forward to these games for weeks and we need to capitalise on them.
Today is very much 2 points dropped, not in the context of the game but in the context of the fixture.
I am afraid that sitting back like that is the wrong tactic against the likes of Portsmouth and Tony must put his hands up and admit he got it wrong.
The 20 yard gap between the strikers and midfield has done for us today.
