Including the end of last season, by my reckoning, we've won one from 11, and two from 15. Its time for the manager to go, and, soon. I'm fed up of the trust in DC, who in some peoples eyes can do no wrong. As an illustration, his obsession with Nichols is laughable, and in that respect alone, he has lost credibility. I don't want to hear that Nichols had a decent game. He's had far too many chances. Also, its not the first time that Lines has let us down by being sent off. IMO he brings nothing to the table and we should get rid.. Is it beyond the realms of possibility that another manager could get better football, better results, better performances from this group of players? In my view, no. Do I trust DS to appoint such a manager? Absolutely not. So given what he has done for us in the past and the potential idiot we could bring in to replace him I think DC is still in a comfortable position. But the cracks are beginning to show this season. Poor signings, players out of position, defence is crap, strikers who aren't scoring, too much loyalty to certain players. We always start badly but this season fills me with much more disquiet than previous years...

We have not corresponded before. I see you're a knowledgable gashead. Not the first post wind up merchant I feared. The manager's not perfect. I disagree with some things he does. But seriously? Go? No chance, thanks. We were on our way towards non-league before. He failed to turn that team around. He rebuilt the team in non-league. He got us promoted to the fourth division. He got us promoted to the third division. He got us safe at 10th there despite MT/1982. Last season was a disappointment. We never looked like challenging. But we never looked like being relegated. We are a mid-table third division team. We all want top six still. It was always thus. DC go? Go my duck's arse. I love the long term DC appointment. For as long as we're third division or above and trying our best to progress, he has a job for life as far as I'm concerned.

My Pompey mate has asked me how the hell we didn't get anything from that. I really enjoyed the game. Rovers played well. Better than against Wycombe. Linesy saw a chance to go in two footed on a s**thead. Didn't help us though. Definitely cost us the game. Decent cameo from Jakubiak. Nicholls was excellent as was Clarke x 2. In fact everyone. Lines was stupid and can't have done his chances of playing regularly any favours. We battered them from about 20 mins in til they scored then from about 53 onwards til we equalised. Gutted doesn't cover it.
DC has managed to put together a squad that is very competitive and probably the best squad we've had in years.
We absolutely must take that form into Saturday and beat Southend. The lads deserved something tonight and must start well against Southend who interestingly lost 2-0 away to Luton tonight.

Don't get the love in with Nichols.
Hasn't scored in 42 appearances, doesn't assist.
Threatened to look good, has his shots, just can't finish. Still gets a next game.
Don't get the love in with Locks. Distribution woeful tonight. A couple of break down moves but his dithering cost us 3 points as captain he should be taking decisive action and not allowing their poached effort.
I like AMPG evaluation in parts.
For me, Bennett played really well. Prob my m o m. Danny cane into the game more second half with some width and great crosses.
But over all I thought we were beaten by ourselves again. Costly defensive mistakes punished and failure to convert our chances.
We've played top 2/4 and had very decent spells in both games. This is cause for optimism, but I'm afraid if we continue to play mistake prone players and striker that never scores the table doesn't lie at any stage...

Bit deflated. Pompey on paper are one of the best in the league and I think ball at feet we are better. We just can’t defend. I don’t like the back 4. Too weak and small in the CBs, James Clarke just not a LB. smith awful.
Don’t like Pompey, never did.
So unlucky from so many players. So many chances misssed.
Someone said on Facebook it was a tale of a great and a poor goalkeeping display. Smith wasn’t great, lkicking being the issue.
Lines - silly mistake and cost us the game.
Not sure if I rate Upson much (my first game so could be wrong). A bit slow and immobile for me. I’ll give him time though.
Still feel like we are going to there or thereabouts this year. It’s amongst the best football I’ve seen at rovers for years, speaking objectively. Good skilful moves. Just weak in the spine.
I don’t remember a rovers team like this.
It seems 3 at the back suits our present defensive personnel more than 4.

No others scored and Nichols was probably our best attacker, esp first half. It’s not a love in, it’s just not being black and white about a player.

Sorry to inform you fella, but Leadbitters crosses and general wing play are absolutely abysmal.

Secondly, he's the only attacking wide right player that consistently moves to take on their left side and cross. Therein maybe lies problem. We need width.

We'll carry on playing strikers that don't score and wonder why we're in the grey..

Dunno what dog pops is! But don't think he made a mistake that cost us the match So I'm guessing there were bigger dog pops out there..?

There is support for him from the terraces and especially on Saturday away tonight. He was unlucky to be subbed tonight. Sacrificed after the red card. Nearly paid off with an equaliser

I found it interesting how their left winger protected lee brown from danny leadbitter throughout the game and still found enough energy to get forward. I thought we deserved a point tonight.

I have never seen Rovers hug the touchline with chalk on boots like the 2nd half tonight. How many balls out to Leadbitter? They obviously talked about stretching Portsmouth at half time and it nearly paid off.

We absolutely must take that form into Saturday and beat Southend. The lads deserved something tonight and must start well against Southend who interestingly lost 2-0 away to Luton tonight. Problem is it must be a dream to play a Darrell Clarke side right now because you know his side will put in 100% of the effort and come away with 0% of the points because they can't defend and struggle to score. So just sit back and wait for a mistake. It sounds like we have out played Peterborough, Portsmouth and Accy for large parts of the game and yet lost all 3 because they took their chances and for all our possession we do nowt with it. It's a worrying trend...
