I know Johnson isn't the best manager but the 1st 2 goal have been down to players mistakes. Ignoring Doyle, the 1st I can be forgiving to Hoffman as the ball comes from a long way and the 1st bounce, about 12 yards from the box, takes it another 8 or so yards but the 2nd bounce it seems to slow up so didn't go as close to Hoffman.

However the 2nd goal is down to laziness from Winchester. He's already running back after Afolayan plays the ball and already has 2 yards on him. Yet he must have been jogging back and let Afolayan get ahead when the 2 come back into view and he's 2 yards behind. It's only at the last second Winchester puts another spurt in but why not put the spurt in before that and get ahead of the man? It's laziness and playing the chance game as he could have easily kept in front of Afolayan who wasn't even running at full sprint either.

:edit: 3-0 now of course :(

Just sack this little clueless gobshite ring piece tonight like.
 
Strange this. We’re buying the right players, LJ sometimes seems like the perfect fit… then every other week we throw it all away. What’s the problem? Is it LJ? If so, why is he changing formations when we’ve found one that clearly works?
 
The difference between our very best and our worst is far too big. If every team played their A game every week we would get automatic but the other teams around us are far, far more resilient. Our attacking signings may well be good, talented players but they aren’t going to solve our biggest weakness.
 
spineless manager = spineless team.
Guts me to see it but we are truly f***ing awful relegation form away from home.
Keep sticking up for the manager if it makes you feel like a true supporter but its just blind loyalty. The buck stops with him. He breaking all the wrong kinds of records and im f***ing sick him. OUT
 
I’ve backed LJ but what the fuck has he been doing all week with the team?!

No lessons learned from the Rotherham or Sheff Wed debacle, he’ll get the rest of the season but today is totally unacceptable.
 
He just seems to have no tactics and any semi good manager can out think him think an under 11 manager who has been on an fa course has more tactical know how
 
It will be. How can we catch top 2 when we have won 2 away Games in 10. We have conceded more than half of the league ffs man.

I dont mind Johnson but this is an absolute disgrace. Why hasn't he made changes at half time?

I’m working on the assumption that points will be allocated in the remaining games based on the way we play in them, rather than results in the past.
 
Another battering away from home. In the Third division.

0-4 Pompey, 1-5 Rotherham, 0-3 Sheff Wed, currently 0-3 Bolton with half an hour to go *edit make that 0-4

Losing to Charlton at home when in bottom 3. Losing 1-3 at home to Lincoln. Throwing leads aways TWICE to 10 men sides in the bottom 5. Losing 3 consecutive home cup games to 4th division opp (albeit one on pens with a weakened team).

I’m Johnson in, but I won’t criticise ANY fan having a pop.
