useless defence and Charlie what's the point Austin.

For parts of the second half we were on top and should have taken the game by the scruff of the neck however we lack quality. Some of the football today reminded me of last season where we were effective at keeping possession but couldn’t do anything with it. However last season we could defend, I wouldn’t mind knowing what actually takes place in the defensive sessions in training and why Yoshi can’t get a look in is a mystery.

What is the point of Charlie Austin being on the pitch anymore, totally wasted space today. And our two center backs are dreadful, Armstrong, lemina, nowhere good enough on this showing.Hard to find anyone other than Hojbjerg who was not brilliant today by any means but at least he makes an effort for 90 minutes.l starting to think Hughes as lost the plot somewhere along the way, his choices to start this game especially the choice of center backs is baffling.

We won two nil at Selhurst Park??

Apart from Ings, the summer signings have made no impact at all on a team that was lucky not to be relegated. The usual narrative of us having a good squad but poor manager surely has to stop now? We have an average squad, shite defenders and lack any creative spark. Coupled with a very average manager it’s gonna be a long season with more lows than highs.

Just when you start to think that it can't get any worse, Saints excel themselves with the mother of all F ups!

They were tactically and strategically inept; even when they had the ball the players seemed to have no idea what to do with it, what the plan was or how to execute it. Our passing was abysmal and our so called "strike force" must be the worst in the PL, no pace, no movement, no invention and no idea what the goal is there for. Ings? Paah!

Honestly all this cannot be down to just the players, all the shortcomings and failures must be laid at Hughes' door and his staff. The player's aren't fit either so what an indictment of this current coaching set up. There is only one way-out of this mess but of course the running of our club is so rotten to the core that nobody will have the bottle to sort it out.

Reed remains the biggest obstacle to progress but he won't budge voluntarily and no way is Kreuger going to sack his tail gunner. The appointment of Hughes, an oft failed journeyman manager and his inadequate staff is proving to be the final act of folly and the killer blow to all hope of Saints surviving as a PL club.

I predicted on Day 1 of the season that we would be 20th at Christmas, on today's evidence that was being generous.

Indeed Codge, what is the point of Charlie Austin. I doubt he'd even get a game for Poole Town nowadays. He isn't fit, he is slow to react mentally to what is happening on the pitch and is clueless on how to play with other team mates around him. He really is becoming a liability. Gabbi must be very poor?

The only thing we got out of today was September Goal of the Month....we deserved nowt more. Our defence was poor but our attack was also well off the mark......Hilly says Pompey were superior "in all depts" so there you have it.

Kudos to Pompey fans who kept singing throughout.......
