How is it possible for our players to be tired after 20 mins - I just don’t get it

Because Cullen keeps pointing at them

The flanks make up a significant part of the pitch. Under Martin, I honestly believe if we could have strengthened there (Ogbene), we would have been in the play offs.
Since the Duff era, the flanks have become our downfall. Almost zero productivity and a real weak point, ripe for targeting.

Ronald is absolutely effin useless. Stealing a living. And if the powers to be can’t recognise that him, Key, Cullen Eom and a few others, then we’re toast.

See stamenic for the first goal too - fucking pathetic laziness to not even try and close the midfielder down.

Team full of lazy entitled wankers. Burgess can fuck off wi th that "defending" too

Genuine question if we lose both Pompey and Oxford, do we gamble and get a Rowatt type appointment (idk if there is any of those about) we cannot mess around here we need results.

Giving it to a guy who has managed 12 games in the 2nd Portugese division without his backroom staff is just shows a complete lack of appreciation for the position we are in.

None of them are going to get the players conditioned in two months. At least Matos seems to be a good coach but he’s dealing with an unfit squad whose morale is on the floor.

Desperately need a win to turn the tide

The start of today's game was a step in the right direction. The only positive we have in terms of fitness is there is still a long way to go in the season.

Anyone think Sheehans obsession with only playing some players an hour was a result of poor match fitness or has it been a cause for poor match fitness? Sheehan and co should be shafted for their lack of conditioning

They've fucked us big time.

No fitness, no idea with the ball, nothing

Trying not to slag off off WBA but we lost to a poor team when that was a chance to get a point and turn the tide. Something is very wrong when we don't select a premier quality loanee even if he may be heading back to Brighton and we play a load of unfit prima donna's who don't chase balls that are not dead. I don't want to single out players but for the money you get paid then run like your life depends on it you lazy brainless gimps.

 

[Muteswan]

I didn’t and I love Pink Floyd. But our seats had truly terrible acoustics (it sounded like they were stepping on their guitars) and we had to leave at half time as my head was ringing. I went home and played the records instead. I’m sure you’ll love it. Most do.

Just back from the gig, absolutely brilliant. Cheered me up no end.

 

[Bomber]

Make no mistake about it. The next 2 games are cup finals. This could decide our season. We have to beat Oxford to have any confidence going into the Pompey game. Have the players got the bottle. Defenders should be dropped but we have no one to come in. All our wingers are shit, surely Congrieve should be recalled. I really don't know how we are going to do it. I'd bring Yalcouye back in,we've fuck all to lose. Jesus it's going to be tense it's up to the players to grow a pair, they owe us that. Show us you're not pathetic as you've been in the last 9 games. One thing's for sure after the 2 games we'll have some idea of what the rest of the season is going to look like. Lose these 2 games there's no coming back. So ffs I'm appealing to the players, earn your fucking wages give the fans something back that we deserve. Personally I'm sitting myself

I didn't hear anything about the players being unfit 2 weeks ago it just seems like a new excuse to defend the manager with.

And seems to be a good manager based on what exactly?

 

[tardylum]

One shot in 80 minutes has really rocked me. We have a historically bad attacking side and I can not see how that changes around quickly. Dreading games going forward. Surely we can not actually go down.
