Considering the fact that we have gone a record 21 Premier League games without a win, our support is pretty good. The home support is better than it was at the beginning of that run. At least you can hear the home fans above the away fans now. But, as you say, it doesn't make a very big difference to what happens on the pitch. If it did, clubs with fans who always boast about how great they are wouldn't be well below us in the league now. It's been more than half a year since little Pompey last won a home game.
It's just a small mercy this season that our home ground is no longer 'owned' by the away fans. [Post edited 20 Oct 11:37]

I agree, Chesham. The change in the setup has ended the away fans' dominance at St Mary's, except at the end of games when we have been well and truly beaten. Even then, it was worse before, when you'd have heard the away fans singing booming out much more loudly than now from the Northam end. Being stuck in a corner, where the acoustics are worst, muffles their sound. [Post edited 20 Oct 19:51]

Yes, the Northam was louder than it would have been under the previous setup, after a terrible run of results left us bottom of the table.
The constant whingeing and moaning about our fans from an individual who didn't like the changes to the setup is getting very boring and depressing. It's the last thing we need after a result like yesterday's. In fact, that's what's really sh!t. [Post edited 20 Oct 9:27]

No promoted team has ever stayed up in the Premier League after getting only 1 point from their opening 8 games. That's reality. We'd need a miracle manager and players to become the first one in history to do it, especially as our 2 most winnable fixtures - Ipswich and Leicester at home - are already behind us.

When a ref knows a team are relegation certainties, he knows he won't have to see you again. He gave absolutely everything to Leicester. It's one of the most biased refereeing performances we've had to put up with for a long time and certainly influenced the result. [Post edited 19 Oct 17:23]

I don't think he can read a game like most other people can. When he brought Fraser and Smallbone on, I thought, oh no, here we go again. |

Martin's substitutions always turn the game in the other team's favour. It's what he does. I guess you could make the excuse for him that our squad is so weak, but he was involved in bringing these cr@p players here. [Post edited 19 Oct 17:16]

Neither Smallbone or Fraser are good enough at this level and should never have been brought on. They were such obvious weak links. |

Based on their record so far, I dread to think who they're going to bring in next. |

Especially today as, after Ipswich at home, this is our best remaining hope of a league win this season. |

But, he's probably the striker who Vestergaaard is most capable of dealing with. We know Vestergaard struggles against pace and skill with the ball played on the ground. Perhaps I'm underestimating Onuachu's pace and skill. [Post edited 19 Oct 12:03]

About the only way we'll beat Leicester is by not by passing the ball around in our own half, but by playing long balls into Leicester's half for Archer and Dibling to run onto. I guess if that fails, Onuachu could be brought on in the hope that he can head in a high cross or corner, if we get any.
Against a team with superior players, i.e. any Premier League team apart from Ipswich, we need an old-fashioned, physical approach with long balls to by-pass their better midfield players and utilise the pace of Archer and the skill of Dibling, especially if Vestergaard is their deepest defensive player. It's not going to happen, is it? [Post edited 19 Oct 11:59]

Lots of stories about which big club is going to buy Tyler Dibling in January. Spurs are the current favourites. |
