@HarvMarksy I wouldn’t drop Schmid, but not sure I can remember him ever coming for a corner. Just stays on his line.

Criticised Schmid. Had a poor season in comparison to last. But the idea Bursik was void of any blame/criticism when he played is wild. Conceded 7 set pieces in games he started against Brum & Arsenal. Almost certain we’ll be moaning about corners & Burisik within a few games.

Football at the highest level is a tough watch, when they’re all rolling round on the floor at the slightest contact.

@mrandrewmoon Why haven’t they replaced Zesh? Have they replaced the role James Barlow stepped up from?

New episode of “Who Needs Mourinho?” will be out tomorrow Please fire over your questions…. 😬 #Pompey

@RobaFett1898 They’ll know I agree. Not sure they will care too much though!

@dinste1 They will 100% know the strength of feeling, mate. Social media is a big indicator of voice and opinions across all of society now. That’s why companies spend millions on it.

If Pompey are relegated, I’m not sure the owners are prepared for the anger and resentment that’s going to come their way. Is this all on them, of course not, it’s a collective effort, but they are largely responsible of where they want the club to be. #pfc #pompey #portsmouth

@pn_neil_allen @CharlieFarnsba9 Feels like a fresh pair of eyes might help/ have helped. Any idea why Zesh hasn’t been replaced Neil..?

@CharlieFarnsba9 That’s a really good point. Running out of time now to put things right. Only hope is the international break allowed a reset and regroup.

@BlueArmyAlex @PompeyNewsNow @PFCF44 @reluctantnicko Even if we stay up, given he’s on a free Swanson will get much better offers elsewhere. And the club has never treated him well contractually. Definitely off imo.

@PompeyNewsNow @PFCF44 @reluctantnicko Keeping Swanson is too important, wouldn’t surprise me if he’d back himself to leave for another Champ club though

Wrexham to go back for Terry Devlin, according to @reluctantnicko. No surprise. #Pompey

@RobaFett1898 L1 promotion with 10th highest budget, 16th in Champ with 24th highest budget. He’ll go either way imo.

I must be missing something, but if Pompey go down, I can't see John leaving. What Championship club would take him? That's not me being disrespectful, but not many clubs take managers that have gone down with a club. More chance he goes if we stay up. #pfc #portsmouth #pompey

@JamesSetters05 Literally the lowest in the division

@dinste1 I doubt the Eisners have been splashing the cash on salaries compared to other clubs.

Our starting 11 was signed for a combined £1.1m You'll struggle to sign 1 decent championship player for that who is under contract. We spent that on a full starting 11 This is why we are going down. #pompey

@DannyBarker7 Almost smiling there Danny, careful 🤣

Happy Saturday everyone! 😎✌️

@WISEASS999 You’ve forgotten the 2nd opinion Bob. We love a 2nd opinion 😂.

#pompey You all know the process: 1. Wait til Monday/Tuesday to see if it settles down. 2. It won't. 3. Arrange for the dreaded scan. 4. See him preseason lge 1, if lucky. 5. Add to growing list of now injury prone players for next season.

@nisbeckian @LukeEllisPUP Can’t even afford to replace him ffs

@LukeEllisPUP Also is it a coincidence that Zesh Rehman has gone, was he the teams Strategos?

We’re going down & it’s what we deserve. No one persons fault. The owners haven’t invested enough money for this level,Hughes has taken too many risks with the money he had,Mous has made some bizarre selections,we didn’t sign a forward & the squad just isn’t strong enough #pompey

@CanadaP14 There are no secrets in football (there’s 15 yr olds on Twitter telling us who we should be signing from Timbuktu). These amounts are 🥜 for the level, spare change. Wages worst in the division. If we sign a player for these amounts, it’s because no other Champ club wants them.

Rich Hughes stinkers Kos- 1.2m Umeh - 500k Waddingham - 300k Matthews- 1.1m? Le Roux- 1m? Knight 1m? Sorenson - 300k? Blair 300k Farrell 300k Kirk - 500k Kamara - 300k? Nearly 7m pissed up the wall from R.H and I assume JM signs off on these? #Pompey

@adarkelimited I wonder whether some of his decisions (like Swift/ Ebou today) are data driven? Inexplicable otherwise.

First day I’ve really thought Mous was part of the problem too. Still massively in credit but his form is as bad as anyone’s right now.

@Bunkybowers Probably true, but every underfunded L1 team which has a year or two in the Champ will have a load of fans blaming the manager/ players/ formation/ tactics when they get relegated. It virtually all goes back to the budget.

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

@pompeychiv They’re running the club EXACTLY like they’ve always run it. I don’t get this “they’ve run out of interest” (which lots of people are saying). We had the 10th highest budget in our L1 promotion season 😂

It's difficult not to feel the same. Owners interest has very clearly ended, they are keeping us ticking over and that's it. Every aspect of the club being done on the cheap. Men's squad, Women's squad/infrastructure and academy set up. So disappointing

@wayneharrispfc There’s only one statistic where we’re worse..? (the only one that matters, obviously)

Get them running on Southsea beach at 5am John. Shocking from #Pompey Statistics again, very damning!

@HarvMarksy Injured?

Ebou is fucked btw. Won’t be surprised if we don’t see him again this season, so there’s that

@jason999potter @PompeyPedro And most of them try and run it like a business, which is about the last thing Championship football is.

@dinste1 @PompeyPedro People don't realise that even the cleverest yank doesn't have a clue about how competitive sports leagues work.

It was all so avoidable if we’d had owners who understood their vision wouldn’t work in the EFL To be relegated out of this league, in this season, would/will be so embarrassing A scoreline like this against a side with nothing to play for is a real worry Very depressing stuff
