Disaster night and not a fun one to edit back. Hopefully you can associate yourself with some of our post match thoughts and feelings. See you next Saturday💙
pompey ,proper fans ,as a ram watching that i really felt your pain ,we have all been there havent we ,good luck for the rest of the season ,as always a great podcast .
As a Derby fan I have to say your supporters generally stuck with your team and were staying to the end. Proper fans as we have all been there. Really enjoy the channel, you are very fair and entertaining.
Cheers mate, Rams and Pompey to stay up, btw i am a Rams fan too! since days of Dean Saunders, Mark Wright and Peter Shilton, I was born in Portsmouth. Love both clubs.
Great podcast. Well produced and edited. In terms of the 1,700 Pompey fans top notch throughout. I think that one goes down to a bad day in the office. From a Derby perspective let's see how we do on Friday night. Our 2nd best performance of the year. Looking forward to Fratton Park in April. Top stuff Tom. Subscribed
Iv just come back to watch this vlog properly….& I can honestly say yourself & your fans didn’t deserve that…you still kept a smile on your faces after being beaten 4-0 & you have to respect that….iv seen plenty of other fans from other clubs do nothing but moan infront of the camera & F,ing & Jeffing…well done to all Pompey fans & good luck for the remainder lads…respect 🙌🙏
Great video Tom! Quite shocked with last nights result 😅 once that 2nd goal went in I think that’s when the heads dropped and we grew into the game. Pompey fans great as always, especially staying until the end in good voice. Glad to see both sides back in the championship
I could see the pain in your eyes during the debrief Tom. What a nightmare for all involved. I really do applaud you for having it in you guys to deliver us the chat so soon after the full time whistle. Concise and thought out words as well Tom, not over the top but equally damning of a terrible night. I really hope it’s a one off (or a three off if you count Stoke and Cardiff!). As Gaz said, the team looked as if it was picked in the car park. I look forward to the Christmas episode on Saturday from the four nil team.
Looking forward to bringing our Christmas edition to you Brian. Thanks very much for taking the time to watch and leaving such kind reflections as always!
Mousinho 490 appearances Harley. 426 appearances Rehman. 367 appearances Total 1,283 appearances All defenders!!! …no-one appears to be able to see the gaping hole in front of our back four when we are attacked week after week!! …if we got points for media, interviews, talking etc we would be play off candidates!!! 1,283 games between and we can’t train/coach/communicate the ability of defending a simple corner!!! Too many wannabe ‘Peps’ who think their sh!t dosnt stink!! Well done Paul Warne for preparing your team for this League and not being overwhelmed by your OWN ego unlike others 💙
Thx again Tom Andrew Gazza from Malta is a likeable character BUT a bit scary to look at 😬😅 A senseof humour is needed on nights like this and you and the Pompey fans delivered in the cold of night in England. 6.10 Team was picked in a car park 😅 7.36 Bounce around if your'e 3 Nil down 😅 8.27 I like Schmidt...he was the only guy that showed enthusiasm....We need to get more Austrian in the team🤷♂ 13.05 Pompey chant: 4 Nil down and we're staying here'😂 (You guys are the 'Best') Regards from G & B in the Sth of France
Thanks Tom and the gang and every travelling supporter, also for this vlog, watched on Sky, Derby hustled Pompey from the outset, and they controlled the midfield, Adam’s had Potts running ragged, lacking in our team, just look 3 of their players scored, Bishop had no support, only decent shot on goal came from Murphy from out on the wing, Derby seemed to win every 2nd ball. Thanks once again Tom, the players don’t deserve you all. PUP⚓️
Cov fan here, I'm not sure what to expect @ Fratton Park next Saturday? I thought you were turning the corner, then this happens. Good luck after next weekend.
Over the past 10 seasons the team finishing 4th from bottom needs an average of 40pts to be 1pt clear of relegation!. Goal diff only counted once.( I think!!!). Personally I recon 45 pts. Awful tonight,( except Schmid) no plan B. Let’s hope our home games can get us over the line. Great vlog as always and well done to all the travelling fans…PUP.
Had the pleasure of speaking to David James after in the hotel bar. He was surprised by our reaction at the end of the game. I applauded along with many other fans. I think we needed to try and lift the team, and ourselves!
First off, Kudos for doing what you do game in game out, never miss your reports. I think Andrew put his finger on our performance at Derby in just 3 words "Tired & Lethargic". The lads have run their hearts out for the last 4 / 5 games to get those results; "played out of their skins" is a phrase that comes to mind and I mean by that giving more than they can sustain day in day out in the championship. To me that explains the lack of press, lack of winning those second balls, terrible passes & shots, in short that evident lack of drive at each crucial moment. JM in the pre-match report was talking about the new techniques & extra effort in between game recovery they are adopting, so I don't think it's going unmissed. This match explained to me why some of the new signings aren't in the first 11, which exasperates the rotation required to alleviate player knocks/tiredness while maintaining top performance. The current set of lads can keep us in this league, but they need to play out of their skins every match to have a chance. Doesn't sound like the best of strategies to me. With Andrew's permission, I will summarize his excellent "Tired & Lethargic" to simply KNACKERED Reset, bounce back and on to the next one. PUP 💙💙💙
Derby fan here looking forward to the reverse fixture we are both good teams so hopefully we both stay up this year. All the best for the rest of the season
I am taking Nicholas Schmid out of this completely because he did absolutely nothing wrong tonight, that was dismal and humiliating collectively from back to front. Off the back of recent results, expected a lot more tonight. We have played three real solid footballing sides that play out from the back before tonight and we’ve looked dangerous on the press. Derby don’t play out from the back so the threat we’ve had recently was gone and we couldn't adapt. A lot of that momentum from the last 4-5 games was undone tonight simply on the performance alone, not the result, just like Stoke, we have made a mediocre championship side look like a top 3 side, but again, we need January signings with the physicality and experience which brings ability to adapt, especially defensively, but without name shaming anyone, because it's obvious to see, a fair few of our players are not up to scratch across the board to be playing in this division full stop.
Excellent comment Cameron, I feel we're lucky to have an excellent goalkeeper in Nicholas Schmid. I agree there is no point in name shaming others as it was fairly obvious in last years promotion winning season that many of the players did not have the pace, physical ability and skill to make it in the Championship. Good Division 1 players maybe, but it would have been wrong to have expected them to perform at this higher level. What concerns me is that the summer recruitment was so poor that I hold out little hope that any January signings will be any better! However if we can improve the spine of our team (centre forward, centre midfield and central defence) I still think we may have a chance.
The 4th sealed Ogilvie's fate as a League One player for me... I was screaming when he flew up on the fullback like that and left all that space behind him. Really naïve.
I think we all know a lot of players in this squad aren't good enough. Mousinho is having to play a central midfielder as a centre back despite there being recognised centre backs being available and that is because he knows they're not good enough. Devlin isn't a right back either. And we have absolutely nothing on the bench in terms of attacking options. The manager can just about put a reasonable starting eleven out when every single player is fit, but he hasn't been able to do that all season. We've just about managed to keep ourselves in touch with a few decent results here and there, but we've had to blag our way through this all season and that is because of the absolute mess they made of the summer recruitment. I'm not exactly confident that they will bring in the kind of quality we need in January either. I have zero confidence in Rich Hughes. The guy is way out of his depth and the owners want to do everything on the cheap. Realistically, we are at least 5 players short of being a team that can perform consistently at this level and establish ourselves as a championship team. Mousinho has done incredibly well to find a team that can actually win games in recent weeks and put some points on the board, but we desperately need some players who can come in and make a difference straight away.
Another great video. The aim was don’t lose. Fans were brilliant but players were just not up for it. So true to say it was so bad it was funny. Perhaps we can raise our game for Coventry. Play up Pompey
Derby fan. Respect for your halftime comments. I could not believe how bad you played. I mean I thought we were okay, but you really did gift us the game. Good luck for the rest of the season.
Great vlog! As a ram and being at the game, I have to admit, I was not looking forward to this game, especially as we hadn’t won since 6th Oct. But two observations: 1) that pompey team was way worse than the one we played last season (what’s happened?) and 2) the best away fans we’ve seen at pride park - with a lot of humour and irony. Respect to the fans who made the journey. All the best for the rest of the season and see you in April 25. 👍
Hi Tom...Great to bump into you in Poole today. I really had to double take then the Penny dropped. Have great Christmas Tom and all your family . Play up Pompey..Keep the Faith and keep on keeping on ! Atb for you and your Channel. Mark
Oh for a Paul Merson in midfield and a Steve Stone up front, but more than that a centre half with Premiership ability (how about Adam Webster on loan ) you need to put your hand in your pocket Mr Eisner or we are going down!
I've said all season that if we are in touch with safety by January, we can avoid relegation. We've achieved that. Now it's over to the owners to take the championship seriously and make up for the absolutely appalling summer business that got us into this mess. This game was a perfect example of how dreadful our squad is. Mousinho can just about get a reasonable starting eleven out there when everyone is fit, but he has got absolutely nothing on the bench to change things when we are struggling in games or have injuries. Our season will be defined by the January transfer window. In the meantime, let's have a good response against Coventry at Fratton and put this performance behind us! PUP!
Once more, not at the game. The third goal, the whole Pompey team were in the 12 yard area and watched Derby run in and score......Why is it, that some games Pompey want to play and others they don't seem to care...? Another great video though guys....
I'm thinking the three games in a week followed by a long international break requires a stronger squad . The energy and speed of thought just wasn't there . A really humiliating and dismal night . Not a pleasant experience for you , or any of us . Thanks for a really good video capturing the fans view of the evening .
I've been a lifelong Pompey fan since I first saw Vince Hilaire running down the wing against Leeds in the early '80s. I still get goosebumps every time I hear the Pompey Chimes. We are a great city with a great football club. But as any true fan knows, they will also break your heart just as many times as they will fill it to the brim and beyond. Keep the faith, Tom. Enjoy the ride of being a lifelong Pompey fan. Love the videos.
We are literally the biggest and bestest club the world has ever seen. Name a bigger club in world than Pompey. Can’t do it. Bestest fans in History of world. Our chant is three words FFS. Who else can say that? We are literally biggest and bestest most best. Best.
@Fournilwrittenalloverit very heartbreaking and heartfelt words Tom, my blue heart got broken last night 💙, i feel for Gaz as well long trip for that performance 😞 #PompeyPlayUp💙
No forwards, no defence, a mediocre midfield, a manager that's looking increasingly out of his depth in this league and no point in looking forward to the transfer period. No decent player is going to want to come to Pompey if we can only serve up performances like that one. Supporters like TOM, GAZ who travel so far, and the Fournil crew deserve so much more. Play up Pompey chimes has such a hollow ring to it after a performance like that, but still we sing it.
this is such a good wholesome football channel and tom is a top class football journalist covering the club he loves- this channel deserves so many more subs
Great video Tom. Felt before the game if our energy levels were good we'd have a chance, so obvious from minute one it was going to be an off night. Worried about lack of championship quality in the squad, hence performances like that. Need to look at a few positional changes.
Tom - still waiting for large payment for providing positive review on the video!!! Thanks for including the clip. As ever, the video is excellent. Just a shame about the football.
I think this one hurt a bit extra, because of how good both games were last year(for both sides) and they absolutely milked us. It was like Man City playing Oldham. Painful because we both come up in this league together so these are the games we have to be competing in, after a really positive run from us I am extremely worried. As always play up Pompey
All over it, fair play pompey fans for staying with your team till the end. On the plus side I think we let you off lightly, you could easily have had to drive all the way home after shipping 5,6,7 even 8 so it could have been worse.
I don't quite know how to put this. Just like the game at Stoke it looked as if the home side had done their research on Pompey while, whoever is responsible for that, hadn't done the same on them. Also, that defensively soft underbelly is a worrying sight, and it sends a clear signal to the opponents how to play against Pompey. Thankfully January's transfer window is only 17 days away. Unfortunately there's at least three more games to play until something can be done to stabilise that back line.
When the first Derby County goal went in you said "Oh dear" Tom...oh dear is right. Just when Pompey might have started pulling away from the relegation zone they serve up this shower of sticky brown stuff,in the run up to the festive fixtures too!😢 Just awful.
Well.....what can you say? Brilliant video and analysis as always. Sat here on Malta - I feel for Gaz. But it's nice and warm when he gets back 😂 As for the performance, it's a strange one again. I was watching Calum Lang. He didn't play Tuesday but he was a shadow of what he has been. No movement, pace, press. Completely off it. In my simple brain, it has to be something the team / staff did in the preparation and build up. It has to be. Same as Stoke and Cardiff. That's where I'd be looking....... Luckily, Saturday results were favourable again so we stay in touch. PUP!
Mousinho is way out of his depth, and it isn't helped by him insisting on ignoring Towler. Is Towler really so bad that he isn't worth bringing on when it's so obvious Mcintyre and Pack are nowhere near good enough?
The decision to play a central midfielder out of position instead of playing our recognised centre backs just about says it all. Devlin isn't a right back either. The squad is a complete mess this season and Mousinho has actually done well to keep us within reach of safety. We have absolutely nothing on the bench in terms of attacking options and if we lose Bishop or Lang to injury at any point this season we are basically relying on Murphy to score our goals. We can just about put a reasonable starting 11 out when everyone is fit, but beyond that we've got the weakest squad in the championship.
Sending lots of extra Knappers mum love and hugs to you wonderful Pompy fans. Doing what you always do outstandingly Brilliantly and that’s getting behind your Pompy Boys. Great video Tom as always. So sorry no points to put on the table. Lovely seeing your wingman Gaz. Stay positive and PUP.xxx💙⚽️💙🥰🤗😘
Nice one Tom,sometimes the team really don’t deserve our support, proper fans from the amount of DCFC posts what other support at 4-0 down does that! Nice to see Gaz but where was Gary barlows son? 😉 see you Saturday
Derby fan, we stole the ball constantly and pressed high giving our players time to hold the ball and set up our attack with clinical consequences for Portsmouth.
Love the vlog but shame about the result. I hope that JM doesn't let heads drop. Let's try and keep the heads up and go again next week. Keep the faith and Play Up Pompey.
We've had a really disappointing night away at Derby, the defense was all over the place and very little going forward as well, but 4/9 from the last three games is a decent enough return but we need a response against Coventry in just over a weeks time and the away form needs working on. The fans have been Pompey's best player tonight, PUP. 🔹️🔷️🔵💙 #Pompey
Tom the press didn't work as Derby's defender's were too good for us! they had the skill to deal with it...What a poor display from Kamara! Who signed him!
Great the channel watch every week keep up the good work. In stark contrast, the performance on the pitch was horrible. Really bad; set up was naive, players looked lost, no energy or impetus. We deserve more from the team as fans. Went to my first game in 1977 - that was among the worst displays I have seen in my 47 years of being a popmey fan. Horrid to watch
Ram fan here who sold programmes for 20 years before getting a season ticket. I hope Pompey stay up. Great club and set of fans. Here’s hoping QPR go down. Never forget 2014 😆
I think derby were good in every sense throughout the match with all the misses it should of been 6 or 7. Pompey were the worst side we've seen so far! Massive shout to all your fans though! Like us don't think you are going down there's at least 4 teams worse off than us!
As Jimmy Greaves used to say about football, "it's a funny old game". Was really up for this game after the previous 2 games and felt we had a decent chance of grabbing an away win, especially after Derbys recent form. How wrong was I?!! Dreadful, unprofessional, embarrassing to say the least. Not sure where we go from here other than to put it to bed and crack on. Survival is our priority and there are enough games left to secure that. Also, nothing worse than watching this vlog knowing what's coming... Well done Tom for keeping on keeping on!
I say we forfeit any match 3-0 before any game we’re on sky… embarrassing once again. We thought we were getting into our rhythm again and then this. Credit to all the fans who never stopped singing. January huge. Onto Coventry (where we’re also on sky 🥴). PUP🔵⚪️🔵⚪️
That was not the team we played on Tuesday night that not good at all. We loss game we win games hopefully that a lesson Learn from the team Love the videos tom ❤
Hi Tom, another Brilliant video as Always, Well I've watched this after watching Bolton lose 2-0 at home too Wigan again grrrrrrr. Anyhow mate I'd just write the derby match off as a bad day at the office, I still think Portsmouth have enough in them too stay up this season. Keep up the Outstanding work you're doing mate, Keep the faith and as always play up pompey ⚽️⚽️⚽️
Fingers crossed we can call it a write off Brian, far too many terrible nights for us so far this season already! Thanks very much for watching as always mate
Hi Tom, route cause is equal status of JM & RH, this is shared responsibility which is lost accountability meaning there is not a football man in charge, the accountability is with AC and that’s why we are where we are. Sad Sad Sad. The club is run unprofessionally, we still have no detailed explanation of the power loss of the Millwall game.
Disaster night and not a fun one to edit back. Hopefully you can associate yourself with some of our post match thoughts and feelings. See you next Saturday💙
Put it to one side Tom am sure you will have enough to stay up weve been waiting to do that to a Team especially after Swansea
you win some you lose some.
4-0 written all over it
pompey ,proper fans ,as a ram watching that i really felt your pain ,we have all been there havent we ,good luck for the rest of the season ,as always a great podcast .
Thanks very much for the kind words Dave

Thanks for taking the time to watch
Great video buddy have to say definitely one of Derbys best performances this season we was on fire but good luck for the rest of the season
Massive respect to Pompey fans. A proper club whose fans deserve better. I remember when we went up in 1987 and Portsmouth finished behind us.
It was 4 nil written all over it for Derby. Must of been hard making this video. Wel done.
7:38 😂😂😂😂😂 bounce around if your 3 nil down bonce around
Great video Tom! Quite shocked with last nights result 😅 once that 2nd goal went in I think that’s when the heads dropped and we grew into the game. Pompey fans great as always, especially staying until the end in good voice. Glad to see both sides back in the championship

Rehman. 367 appearances
Total 1,283 appearances
All defenders!!!
…no-one appears to be able to see the gaping hole in front of our back four when we are attacked week after week!!
…if we got points for media, interviews, talking etc we would be play off candidates!!!
1,283 games between and we can’t train/coach/communicate the ability of defending a simple corner!!!
Too many wannabe ‘Peps’ who think their sh!t dosnt stink!!
Well done Paul Warne for preparing your team for this League and not being overwhelmed by your OWN ego unlike others 💙
Have a lie down sir
Tom, you will be a top professional presenter one day, never stop, you have got it, whatever got it is,,, you have it,
Thank you very much Julie!
Derby County fan here. Hope we both stay up.
Another good vlogg, great fans total respect for travelling (Posh fan)
Thx again Tom Andrew
Gazza from Malta is a likeable character BUT a bit scary to look at 😬😅
A senseof humour is needed on nights like this and you and the Pompey fans delivered in the cold of night in England.
6.10 Team was picked in a car park 😅
7.36 Bounce around if your'e 3 Nil down 😅
8.27 I like Schmidt...he was the only guy that showed enthusiasm....We need to get more Austrian in the team🤷♂
13.05 Pompey chant: 4 Nil down and we're staying here'😂 (You guys are the 'Best')

I'm not sure what to expect either in honesty Dan. We'd hope from our point of view we'll see a team that comes out and responds. Safe trip down!
Great fans Pompey! Derby switched on last night…. Hope you guys and us stay up 👍🐏
Thanks Tracy
Over the past 10 seasons the team finishing 4th from bottom needs an average of 40pts to be 1pt clear of relegation!. Goal diff only counted once.( I think!!!). Personally I recon 45 pts.

Another great video!
Got my 2 boys up early to watch this downunder, and hearing you lot singing was the only positive. Great effort fans 👏
Great vlog Tom. Great support tonight. Good luck for the rest of the season. Up the Rams.

Oh for a Paul Merson in midfield and a Steve Stone up front, but more than that a centre half with Premiership ability (how about Adam Webster on loan ) you need to put your hand in your pocket Mr Eisner or we are going down!
Always listen to your channel always good…..good luck pompey from a Happy Ram 🐏👊🏻
I've said all season that if we are in touch with safety by January, we can avoid relegation. We've achieved that. Now it's over to the owners to take the championship seriously and make up for the absolutely appalling summer business that got us into this mess. This game was a perfect example of how dreadful our squad is. Mousinho can just about get a reasonable starting eleven out there when everyone is fit, but he has got absolutely nothing on the bench to change things when we are struggling in games or have injuries. Our season will be defined by the January transfer window. In the meantime, let's have a good response against Coventry at Fratton and put this performance behind us! PUP!
It really was fournilwrittenalloverit 😂🐏
We need to spend spend for January. Thanks again Andrew and Tom plus friends. With a couple of games in hand. PUP
Good honest vlog being Argyle supporter we use to this scoreline don't get upset these days use to it Still think we both going down 😔
Once more, not at the game. The third goal, the whole Pompey team were in the 12 yard area and watched Derby run in and score......Why is it, that some games Pompey want to play and others they don't seem to care...?
Another great video though guys....
I'm thinking the three games in a week followed by a long international break requires a stronger squad . The energy and speed of thought just wasn't there . A really humiliating and dismal night . Not a pleasant experience for you , or any of us . Thanks for a really good video capturing the fans view of the evening .
I've been a lifelong Pompey fan since I first saw Vince Hilaire running down the wing against Leeds in the early '80s. I still get goosebumps every time I hear the Pompey Chimes. We are a great city with a great football club. But as any true fan knows, they will also break your heart just as many times as they will fill it to the brim and beyond.
Keep the faith, Tom. Enjoy the ride of being a lifelong Pompey fan. Love the videos.
We are literally the biggest and bestest club the world has ever seen. Name a bigger club in world than Pompey. Can’t do it. Bestest fans in History of world. Our chant is three words FFS. Who else can say that? We are literally biggest and bestest most best. Best.
@Fournilwrittenalloverit very heartbreaking and heartfelt words Tom, my blue heart got broken last night 💙, i feel for Gaz as well long trip for that performance 😞 #PompeyPlayUp💙
No forwards, no defence, a mediocre midfield, a manager that's looking increasingly out of his depth in this league and no point in looking forward to the transfer period. No decent player is going to want to come to Pompey if we can only serve up performances like that one. Supporters like TOM, GAZ who travel so far, and the Fournil crew deserve so much more. Play up Pompey chimes has such a hollow ring to it after a performance like that, but still we sing it.
this is such a good wholesome football channel and tom is a top class football journalist covering the club he loves- this channel deserves so many more subs
You got the score right at least . Nuff luv Derby
Four nil written all over it 😮💨🤷🏼♂️
I guess you could say it had "four nil written all over it" 😂😂😂😂
Great video Tom. Felt before the game if our energy levels were good we'd have a chance, so obvious from minute one it was going to be an off night. Worried about lack of championship quality in the squad, hence performances like that. Need to look at a few positional changes.
Enjoyed watching this it helped that we won 4-0 but been where u guys are now then having to drive home
3 games in 6 days….. too much on how little depth we have in our squad.
Big spending in January needed.
Great vlog tom and very honest views . I sure you be alright mate
They really need to pick their socks up for next Saturday because I’m married to a Cov fan who will be in the Milton End! Onwards and upwards! 🤞🤞
Fingers crossed! Thanks for all the continued support!
No words, but lovely to have Gaz back. Keep the faith 💙
Thank you Becky! We had a great weekend spoilt by the football!
Tom - still waiting for large payment for providing positive review on the video!!! Thanks for including the clip. As ever, the video is excellent. Just a shame about the football.
Hahaha thank you very much Jon, was really nice to meet you!
What is going on with evening away games? seems to be something wrong in the preparation. Saturday games away we've only lost once
I think this one hurt a bit extra, because of how good both games were last year(for both sides) and they absolutely milked us. It was like Man City playing Oldham.
Painful because we both come up in this league together so these are the games we have to be competing in, after a really positive run from us I am extremely worried.
As always play up Pompey
All over it, fair play pompey fans for staying with your team till the end. On the plus side I think we let you off lightly, you could easily have had to drive all the way home after shipping 5,6,7 even 8 so it could have been worse.
I don't quite know how to put this. Just like the game at Stoke it looked as if the home side had done their research on Pompey while, whoever is responsible for that, hadn't done the same on them. Also, that defensively soft underbelly is a worrying sight, and it sends a clear signal to the opponents how to play against Pompey. Thankfully January's transfer window is only 17 days away. Unfortunately there's at least three more games to play until something can be done to stabilise that back line.
When the first Derby County goal went in you said "Oh dear" Tom...oh dear is right. Just when Pompey might have started pulling away from the relegation zone they serve up this shower of sticky brown stuff,in the run up to the festive fixtures too!😢
Just awful.
Fingers crossed for a performance against Coventry Alan! You're right, we didn't show up!
Ur channel name is perfect for this game
Well.....what can you say? Brilliant video and analysis as always. Sat here on Malta - I feel for Gaz. But it's nice and warm when he gets back 😂
As for the performance, it's a strange one again. I was watching Calum Lang. He didn't play Tuesday but he was a shadow of what he has been. No movement, pace, press. Completely off it. In my simple brain, it has to be something the team / staff did in the preparation and build up. It has to be. Same as Stoke and Cardiff.
That's where I'd be looking.......
Luckily, Saturday results were favourable again so we stay in touch. PUP!
Mousinho is way out of his depth, and it isn't helped by him insisting on ignoring Towler. Is Towler really so bad that he isn't worth bringing on when it's so obvious Mcintyre and Pack are nowhere near good enough?
The decision to play a central midfielder out of position instead of playing our recognised centre backs just about says it all. Devlin isn't a right back either.
The squad is a complete mess this season and Mousinho has actually done well to keep us within reach of safety.
We have absolutely nothing on the bench in terms of attacking options and if we lose Bishop or Lang to injury at any point this season we are basically relying on Murphy to score our goals.
We can just about put a reasonable starting 11 out when everyone is fit, but beyond that we've got the weakest squad in the championship.
top podcast top fans.. ( Derby fan)
Eisner needs to spend next month if not get out.
Sending lots of extra Knappers mum love and hugs to you wonderful Pompy fans. Doing what you always do outstandingly Brilliantly and that’s getting behind your Pompy Boys. Great video Tom as always. So sorry no points to put on the table. Lovely seeing your wingman Gaz. Stay positive and PUP.xxx💙⚽️💙🥰🤗😘
4-0 written all over that one 🐏
Nice one Tom,sometimes the team really don’t deserve our support, proper fans from the amount of DCFC posts what other support at 4-0 down does that! Nice to see Gaz but where was Gary barlows son? 😉 see you Saturday
Derby fan, we stole the ball constantly and pressed high giving our players time to hold the ball and set up our attack with clinical consequences for Portsmouth.
Well it was written all over it
Love the vlog but shame about the result. I hope that JM doesn't let heads drop. Let's try and keep the heads up and go again next week. Keep the faith and Play Up Pompey.
Thanks for taking the time watch and leave a comment Graeme!
I should add Derby looked great. Really sharp all over the park I hope the injury to Cashin isn’t serious he was everywhere in the first half.
One of the best defenders in the league easily
Yup he was classy, great touch, incredible work rate reads the game so well - not that we made it tricky for him in anyway.
We've had a really disappointing night away at Derby, the defense was all over the place and very little going forward as well, but 4/9 from the last three games is a decent enough return but we need a response against Coventry in just over a weeks time and the away form needs working on. The fans have been Pompey's best player tonight, PUP. 🔹️🔷️🔵💙
#Pompey
Tom the press didn't work as Derby's defender's were too good for us! they had the skill to deal with it...What a poor display from Kamara! Who signed him!
Kamara just about sums up the standard of the summer signings. They were all pretty terrible to be honest.
3 games in a week took its toll, they looked tired. Now they can rest, regroup and see the pompey passion back in full force against Coventry PUP
I just don't get pompey we go from Bristol city last week to this! Now watch us beat Coventry next week 😂
Great the channel watch every week keep up the good work. In stark contrast, the performance on the pitch was horrible. Really bad; set up was naive, players looked lost, no energy or impetus. We deserve more from the team as fans. Went to my first game in 1977 - that was among the worst displays I have seen in my 47 years of being a popmey fan. Horrid to watch
Ram fan here who sold programmes for 20 years before getting a season ticket. I hope Pompey stay up. Great club and set of fans. Here’s hoping QPR go down. Never forget 2014 😆
I think derby were good in every sense throughout the match with all the misses it should of been 6 or 7. Pompey were the worst side we've seen so far! Massive shout to all your fans though! Like us don't think you are going down there's at least 4 teams worse off than us!
As Jimmy Greaves used to say about football, "it's a funny old game". Was really up for this game after the previous 2 games and felt we had a decent chance of grabbing an away win, especially after Derbys recent form. How wrong was I?!! Dreadful, unprofessional, embarrassing to say the least. Not sure where we go from here other than to put it to bed and crack on. Survival is our priority and there are enough games left to secure that. Also, nothing worse than watching this vlog knowing what's coming... Well done Tom for keeping on keeping on!
Oh dear, oh dear, calamitous defending right from the start!
How did it get to this? 3 games in a week obviously too much to handle for Pompey?
I say we forfeit any match 3-0 before any game we’re on sky… embarrassing once again. We thought we were getting into our rhythm again and then this. Credit to all the fans who never stopped singing. January huge. Onto Coventry (where we’re also on sky 🥴). PUP🔵⚪️🔵⚪️
great vid mate. fair play to you pompy lads
That was not the team we played on Tuesday night that not good at all. We loss game we win games hopefully that a lesson Learn from the team
Love the videos tom ❤
Hi Tom, another Brilliant video as Always,
Well I've watched this after watching Bolton lose 2-0 at home too Wigan again grrrrrrr.
Anyhow mate I'd just write the derby match off as a bad day at the office,
I still think Portsmouth have enough in them too stay up this season.
Keep up the Outstanding work you're doing mate,
Keep the faith and as always play up pompey ⚽️⚽️⚽️
Fingers crossed we can call it a write off Brian, far too many terrible nights for us so far this season already! Thanks very much for watching as always mate
You got the score right ✅️
Very balanced video as normal, Tom, shame about the game. It will get better pup
Hi Tom, route cause is equal status of JM & RH, this is shared responsibility which is lost accountability meaning there is not a football man in charge, the accountability is with AC and that’s why we are where we are. Sad Sad Sad. The club is run unprofessionally, we still have no detailed explanation of the power loss of the Millwall game.
another away midweek disaster , totally outplayed , hopefully better on Saturday
