@pompeylive I'd be gutted if he goes to another Championship team but if a team for example like Palace came in with a £5M+ offer we'd have to accept. I would however only accept if that money was then spent on a quality striker?

@pn_neil_allen It depends if he wants regular football as not sure we can give him that. Would love to keep him as it looks like he can play CB and LB if required and if Farrell goes then we'll definitely need him. Not been impressed with Knight but would keep the other 5.

@mrandrewmoon Is Matthews injured and if not, does Mousinho not rate him anymore? Dia has looked good but I always thought Matthews has looked class when he's played.

@mrandrewmoon Good article. I think Ogilvie's red card might be the deciding factor for us in the run it. There seemed a real change of mentally to a gritty, backs to the wall way of playing. If the flair players perform over the last 6 and the defence hold firm I think we'll survive.

@IanDarke He's going to be a big miss as we won't win an appeal. It was just frustrating that he didn't have to put a hard tackle as we were 1-0 up with 70 minutes still to play.

On further review , have to admit that Conor Ogilvie’s challenge was wild and poor for Pompey v Oxford. Ref could have said yellow for ‘ reckless’ but decided red for ‘ excessive force endangering an opponent’. Made game harder for himself. But appeal will fail.

@mrandrewmoon @guywhittingham @Ian_Wilding1 It's definitely a must not lose game (though it won't be terminal imo). The key thing is though that Mousinho sets us up to win and not to not lose. If he sets up for the latter then I don't think we'll win? We have to get at them & use pace (i would pick Brown ahead of Bishop)

@mrandrewmoon @LewisCoombes I'd play Dozzell (if fit again) and Swanson in the middle. Both got plenty of running in them and both good passes of the ball?

@pn_jordan_cross We all know these players can perform as we've seen it especially at Charlton and Millwall. I'm still just so baffled about starting Adams in the no.10 and then more so that he didn't change it and revert to Swift playing there 🤦‍♂️

@Bunkybowers Agree. I don't remember too many Eisner out chants at the end of the Millwall game? This was a (very) bad day at the office.

Today’s result is not on the owners. They may be ultimately responsible for #Pompey’s fate this season, but today is on the coach and the players

@pn_jordan_cross Don't know why when we're so short of goals he hasn't put Kirk on the bench but instead have 2 right backs there? (Though to be fair those two ha e scored more than Bishop 😉)

Three changes for Pompey at QPR, as Swift, Segecic and Shaughnessy come in for Chaplin, Caballero and Swanson.

@Pompey @pompeylive @solentsport Finally in the ground after some trouble with the turnstiles but at least this season is can see the pitch. And for those who moan about the Eisners, look at our ground compared to the state of this tip!!

@mrandrewmoon @guywhittingham @solentsport I've just got a feeling it's going to click for us today. I don't know why as our current form (especially in front of goal) is shocking but sometimes we just get it right. My head is saying 2-0 to QPR but my crazy heart is going 4-1 Pompey 💙⚽️🤞🙏

@mrandrewmoon Agree. We are doing most things right except the basic of scoring 🤦‍♂️ Trying to stay positive though we looked much more balanced with Ogilvie at LB, Shaughnessy at CB and Swift at no.10. I think Swanson has been great but maybe change the back 4 as above and Swanson in for Pack?

@pn_neil_allen @capfc11 I think Alli is trying too hard. Just beat the 1st man (rather than also trying to beat the 2nd & 3rd and get to the byline) and get the cross in. Not only will he use less energy but also Bishop prefers that style of play?

@capfc11 For me, Devlin and Alli have definitely dipped in the last couple of games. To be expected because of the tremendous effort they put in and the gruelling fixture schedule.

@mrandrewmoon @chriswisey Interesting listening to the Moons musings when talking about the no.9 & you said that Pompey are "used to playing with Bishop". Do you think that's the problem now? Championship teams all know how we play so is it time 2 look at a different formation/style of play. Maybe go 442?

@mrandrewmoon Fab article but we need to look at a plan B? Yes, he puts a shift in but as I questioned on the last (excellent btw) 'Who needs Mourinho', he doesn't look 100% fit to me? Maybe change how we play with Brown giving us pace may help? After all, we're only 19th and not scoring many!

@stevebone1 2012/13. The match against Crewe when we finally won a game 😀. Shocking season and went down to League 2 but I felt it summed up being a fan of supporting your club through think and thin.

Saturday's #Pompey prog column here, in which I waffled on about the 97-98 season which, despite our struggles that year, is a favourite of mine. So, as a follow-up, PFC fans, do you have fond memories of a particular season when we were rubbish?
