Still trying to figure out what system we were playing.
The back four was obvious but we had two wide men that we were unable to get the ball to. Two central midfielders, who were totally overwhelmed. A solo striker & Azaz as a number 10, not really able to get into the game?
We certainly looked better with two strikers & a 4-4-2 set up for the last 25 minutes.
We'll need to get this sorted out or we'll be falling farther behind the top teams!

We couldn't pass to a red shirt during the whole game, just a long punt over 4 midfielders with a hopeful ball to Archer who's not balll-holding striker. Still should have nipped this in the bud in the first 10 minutes by shouting instructions and, or makining very bearly changes. But he didn't! And the whole crowd was just waiting for the sucker Pompey goal to kill the game off. Luckily Pompey were total mcrap and knackeres themselves during the first half.

Flynn Downes was, again, the worst player on the pitch and shouldn't be allowed near the bench never mind the teamsheet. He is given a major central role in the team, I don't knoe why, and just gives the ball away in important areas cheaply.

I Would, were you actually at the game!!!????I have no idea why FD comes in for so much criticism from a chosen few. Not only his work rate is impressive, but he's one of the very few players who is prepared to carry the ball and take chances to open up opportunities. Plus the number of tackles and interceptions he makes are endless. Our problem definitely does not stem from central midfield. With FD and SC there, we're stronger now than when in the prem. With MF gone, we lack the creativity in midfield, and , of course, the ability to put away those few chances we make...
