Everyone who has watched a JM interview since he took charge knows he is super critical of our own players and will call a spade a spade. It takes a lot for John to speak harshly or blame it on something outside our immediate effort in the game so you know how bad it has been recently when John has to comment on officiating in both the Watford and Blackburn games
I'm a Rovers fan that sympathises with those great Pompey fans re ref You'll stay up lads more likely than Rovers go up butay we both prosper go up and stay up
Portsmouth played well yesterday. They certainly didn't deserve the 3-0 defeat, that completely flattered us (Rovers). Definitely rode our luck with a few decisions there. Fairplay to the away following- long way to come on a Wednesday evening 👏 Good luck for the rest of the season- hopefully I can make it to Fratton Park- love your Stadium. 🔵⚪ Arte et Labore
The refereeing was fucking atrocious today. Good effort by the lads, a bit toothless at times, but when the officiating is that bad, what can you do?! Given the financial implication of not remaining in the championship nowadays, maybe VAR needs to be implemented into the second tier.(As much as it pains me to say)
Blame the ref all you want, the facts are we have conceded 17 goals in 7 away games (including a league 1 side). You will not win games relying on scoring 3 goals a game. SORT THE DEFENDING OUT!
An away defeat to Blackburn, decisions going against us and woeful defending once again, things need to change away and quick. Need a response at home against Middlesbrough which will be a very tough game. Very disappointing and frustrating, PUP. 🔹️🔷️🔵💙 #Pompey
Unfortunately the officials in the Championship are no better than the lower leagues and some or most need a trip to Specsavers very soon. Blackburn took their chances and we didn't but it seems most away games, that we are playing against 11 players plus the officials. Great support again from the travelling faithful
Depressing away form this season so this was a very predictable result. If we do stay up, it will be almost purely on our home form. We desperately need reinforcements before the end of this window otherwise even our home form might not be enough to keep us up. PUPPPU.
Poor decision from ref tonight cost us but nevertheless if this is our best team we’re going to struggle for the rest of the season time to face facts Packs not a centre half and we need more fire power up front PUP
It'll be ok, the Eisners say we are NOT going down.... maybe in the January window they'll sign some players, or get some loans in.... hang on, it's mid-jan and with the exception of one decent player, that's not happened. Come on, it's time we concentrated on the playing staff rather than new toilets and candy floss machines!
We will lose against Middlesbrough at this rate and are game in hand will mean nothing as we will most probably be 4 points behind the third team we are just not getting good enough players for this league no ambition at all back down to league one for another long spells
Not helped by more poor referee decisions. Still doesn’t help with our battle to stay up. More pressure on our home form. Need at least 9 more wins to have any chance of staying up.
Hull Plymouth Oxford all changed their managers and all look better than us. John has got a job that he knows he won’t lose as the yanks are all about the cheep option. If we lose sat I can still fans starting to turn on him
Why do Pompey fans keep singing that stupid song about the manager can’t they see he is talking us straight back down he is just not good enough for the championship plus taking off are man off the match when we are still in the match and making are team weaker absolutely ridiculous decision
I'm confused. You say our players aren't Championship standard and our manager is out of his depth, yet we aren't cut adrift at the bottom and have earned 13 points from our last 5 home games. Something doesn't check out with your viewpoints here.
I can accept defeat poor finishing but refs have t better than this the Watford ref t nite shud never ref a professional game there limit is Sunday league we need fairer refs not corrupt ones yes Blackburn very good team good players we go again sat play up pompey
We seem to give up when we go one down away from home 3 goals in 15 bloody minutes is poor defensively and if we don’t improve we will be punished and relegated come march

Rovers fan here... defo got away with that second goal. You looked the better side early 2nd half. With that support👏 hope you stay up
Very poor officiating

Half of our players are not championship players that’s the problem surely you can see that

As much as ref was bad we should've finished some chances
Surely Ritchie has to start in front of Lane...

John and his staff need to call the Cops. We were robbed in Middlesborough🤬🤬

We can't buy a win away from home. We're just not good enough unfortunately.
Unlucky Pompey! You guys were denied a stonewall penalty... just before we scored our 2nd.
Your fans are amazing. Hope ye stay up!
Never a penalty.

Blackburn played well with their twelfth man . Ref got the result he wanted .

Bring on var for the championship referees are simply not good enough championship is a level just as important as the premier league
Get him out now
Unfortunately we are not going to stay up if this is are best team god help us John makes excuses every away game we are just not good enough

Moan Moan Moan. You were dirty and tried every trick going.

Blaming everyone but himself, he got to go

@@Bean-js9bc yes, a very contradictory comment from him
Just a series of negative whinging posts from you tbh. If you can see nothing good in anything on and off the pitch then why bother watching? PUP

It's pretty easy to blame the refs, but the bottom line is that we are not good enough all over the park.
