As poor as we've been, only losing by the odd goal, as we have the last two games, isn't even in the same postcode as getting hit for 4 and 5 at Pompey and Norwich under Willy. Let's get a bit of perspective on it.
well for me the new guy has been thrown in at the deep end with out his trusted team of coaches, ( no didsrespect to joey and leon) had in all no more than in reality a day in total to work with what we have, , the way we lost is alarming after a 2 goal lead lost, but what players we have is what we have untill jan at least, whilst concerning the way we have dropped down the table like a stone to where we are today is worrying but there is time and for me these players now must shoulder part of the blame and if they have ANY pride put the work in every day to fight their way up the table, no words just bloody HARD work required from today on
 
Lets face it, if you were a Oxford or Portsmouth fan, you'd be looking at us as a team you can pick points up from.
 
I wouldn't play Galbraith at right back. In the home game where he did play there he was all over the place positionally and inevitably we conceded from a move down that side.
He's also wasted there when so many of our similar midfielders are out of form.

I agree. With no Yalcoure around, he is our only midfielder who seems to know where the opposition penalty area and net is.
Talking of Yalcoure, where the f*ck is he?

Been wondering the same as I think our best midfield 3 at the moment has him in it. I wonder if Brighton are unhappy with how his time here has gone and have already let us know they're recalling him in January? If so, pointless Matos playing someone who he won't have for long.

Pure speculation here from my part, but my guess is we've agreed to send him back to Brighton for whatever reason, and we agreed to not use him so he doesn't risk injury.

Well like a lot of others , he came with rave reviews at the start of the season and at the time it was seen as a real coup by the club to get him. Think he played a full season for Sturm Graz last season including champions league football and scored something like 8 goals. Don't think our season so far has really benefited any of our loan signings. Results have been poor, the team has been chopping and changing on a match by match basis with hardly anyone getting a decent run in the team, though the usual rubbish of Key, Ronald, Eom and Cullen seem to have been selected.

If that turns out to be true, it would be a real shame. We certainly haven't got the best out of him. Early in the season, I was excited by the midfield combo of him and Galbraith both having the ability to take forward passes from the centre backs, then turn and run at the opposition. That was something we hadn't seen for a while and it promised exciting times to come. Little did I know....
 
I’m convinced that there’s a decent player in Yalcouye and that he’ll have a decent career in the game. He’s only just 20 years old and I don’t think we’ve got close to getting the most out of him.

Only logical reason I can think of because for him to play 0 minutes since his red card is criminal to be honest. Especially with how awful we've been.
