I think Brady should be given a couple of games, Curle has left us with a poor team, 2 days is no sufficient time to even begin to improve the team. I must my Pompey buddies all felt that Morris would be poor for us. He has been ok up until today. If he could shoot and if Hoskins wasn’t so wasteful the board might indeed have had a different feel this evening. We played more football today than I’ve seen in the last 10 games.

Well some have prayed for KC dismal and now what?
Bring in a manager that can rebuild us to a competitive standard? I was a big advocate of Curle after last season. I thought he'd instilled a very clear gameplan that made us horrible to play against, with exactly the right personnel to execute it well. (Oliver, Adams, Morton) I don't know if it was lack of money, missing out on key targets, but the players he's brought just aren't suited to playing that way, and aren't up to scratch in other areas. Quite simply, we don't have good enough players to be in this division, and lack any form of cohesive gameplan to obfuscate that. While I'd like to see us put up a fight, this season is more or less a write-off now.

Everbrite, you’d drop Marshall after today’s game where he was the outstanding player go8ng forward, nice interplay, some good crosses and looked most likely to create something.
Wish you would think before you hit the keyboard as I would not have selected him. He is a valuable player to bring off the bench where he is likely to have an impact. He has proved that in the past.

I just think we need fresh coaching staff in with some experience. I have nothing against Brady, Sammo and Rico but if it was a situation where we had 5/6 games to go then I would absolutely say let’s give them until the end of the season and hope the feel good factor would result in a boost in performance. I’m not a fan of hanging around with caretaker managers as it results in too much uncertainty around who will be in charge in the long term. As I said, in a situation where there’s only a handful of games left then fair enough, but we still have a large chunk of games to play. Get a new man in fairly quickly I say, to give him time to get his ideas across. The games are coming thick and fast. It may feel unfair on the Brady Bunch but there’s no time to ‘wait and see’ how they get on I’m afraid.

Agree with you except for the last sentence where we still have enough games left to crawl out of this mess. Mission impossible for the right man?

Everything that we did going forward came through Marshall, the cross for the disallowed goal, the cross for Rose. To drop him we wouldn’t have a single spark going forward. We need an experienced manager e.g. Cowley or Cook, an inexperienced manager would be a disaster. BTW Toggle Tim talks utter nonsense.

100% we need experience, Cook though, I can't see it.

I guess it’s all down to KT, if we got the Cowleys of Cook I think we would stay up, I really do. If we go cheap with an inexperienced man it would not only gets us relegated but would destroy their career in the process. John Brady is a good guy but we need someone who can grab this lot assemble them and hopefully bring in a few out of contract players, for me a Center half and a striker.

We are never going to score again. Will be playing Burton again next year though, didnt have an attack until we gave them a free kick from closer to the goalline than the penalty spot.
We must win less than 10% of balls in the air in the oppositions box. Whats the point in crossing it to the back post?
Agreed

Everbrite, no need to consider my response, Marshall was the best player in our side today.

Chins up boys. 3 reasons to be cheerful on this chilly Saturday night. 1) We moved the ball around better than I’ve seen us do for weeks 2) A good post match interview from JB. An honest view on what we did and failed to do and that he knows what he wants to do to make things better 3) 8 wins in our last 19 games and we’ll stay up!

"My three children were born in Northamptonshire so I like to think I'm an adopted Northamptonian and it's the same for Rico and Sammo. It means a lot to us because this is our county.

Agreed. Marshall is our most creative player. He has to start IMO.

I thought they were very strange substitutions. He talked in his pre-match preview about playing players in the correct positions, then puts Harriman on at left back, he’s played there before but that isn’t his position! Then Rose off for Edmundson? We needed goals why not gamble and get more forwards on.. not really on the front foot as he suggested!

We started in the front foot which was exactly what he said he wanted in his pre-match interview. Just reading the post match interview though.....he's "only had two one hour sessions with the boys"..... So he got the caretaker role on Wednesday afternoon, and we only trained for an hour on Thursday and an hour on Friday? An hour a day?

We moved it better against Lincoln and Accrington? I have had enough of smooth post match assessments by Managers. Still think we are paying for the loss of Sheehan and Miller.
