Paterson and Celina were both capable #10's. I preferred Piroe in there behind Obafemi too.

Get your overall point though and agree with it. This side is sorely lacking in midfield creativity.

And drive

If the home form was terrible I'd agree but every club in the league has a poor run of form. The defeat in the cup with a make shift team should be ignored, and the Derby defeat has just blown things out of proportion. Yes pompey was awful and confidence shot against Norwich once we fell behind 2nd time. I just don't think death threats and bashing everyone is really doing the club any favours.

It's a bit of a jump to conflate entirely justified criticism with death threats. That's just silly. The former is valid, the latter is not.

It seems that vital football is trusted more by some.

Vital get thier info from Newsnow, just like other "itk" outlets, then throw about the odd "exclusive" in the faint hope of getting one correct.

But what it does show is the level of ill feeling towards players, management and the club. Rewind 6 weeks and there was talk of the playoffs...now a hostile atmosphere, for me that's uncomfortable and unreasonable.

The death threats is ridiculous and wrong. The forum is a site to put on opinion, be it criticism or praise, without it being broadcast at the ground and, hence, affect players.

Ignoring our obvious disagreement over Cundle. When you speak of minority. Only a minority were talking of play offs. The majority were pragmatic and could see it being absolute pie in the sky. Do you not believe that the club is absolutely shockingly run from top to bottom ?

We did have 2 good performances at home over Xmas and then looked tired at the end of the xmas period but managed to sneak a point against WBA. A good first half against Sheffield and even 2nd half reading the blades forum they said we gave it ago even though down to 10 men....I think the agenda from the minority (as always) is to get williams gone and will complain about anyone or anything untill that happens.

You could argue that we hammered QPR in the first half of that game and snuck past a rubbish Luton team down to 10 men by the skin of our teeth.

It was commendable that we snuck a point against WBA although we didn't play very well.

We did very well against Sheffield United up until half time and they came out second half all guns blazing and equalised within a few minutes. Second half we didn't have a shot so hardly giving it a good go, irrespective of being down to ten men. If Darling hadn't been sent off, recent history suggest we'd have lost that game too and the narrative coming from it would have been very different.

Sheffield United then lost 3-0 at home to Hull a few days later and we rolled over at Norwich.

In general, our season up until the end of 2024 had been okay but the drop off since then has been astonishing.

If taking 1 point from 5 games, scoring 3 goals and conceding 15, including rolling over in a derby match and in addition to losing 3-0 without a whimper to a dreadful Southampton team in the FA Cup doesn't get you complaining then I doubt anything will.

Anyone that can't see that we have been a total mess since that Luton game must have their head up their arse to be honest.

4-0; 3-0; 3-0; and 5-1 defeats and a spawny undeserved last minute 1-1 draw all against teams in poor form, some in terrible long term form, kind of paints a picture.
