2-0 then. That one is 100% on Sonko.

phil in cornwall At least no one in the bottom half is getting any points today.

That'll change tomorrow.

Nowt to do with Marcus dropping the ball then?

After that display, I take back all I've said about not desperately needing new blood in January. Perhaps a whole transfusion!

I'd be delighted if Derby beat Bolton.

Pool and Darts Why do some people get TVpants, but I can't .

F**king b***ocks.

Stupid computer.

But why oh why, when we've got Chelsea & Man Utd and Villa away coming up, do we throw games away by getting players sent off? Fulham got beat today and Brum are losing at HT. But what about when they get their good runs and we still get gits sent off?

We ruin chances by getting players sent off... you make it sound like they do it on purpose...

Of course they don't do it on purpose - but how many penalties and sendings-off has Sonko had now? Why does he never learn?

He's panicking. His head's done in. He needs a rest.

Nobodys mentioned Convey missing a sitter. Would have been a different game if we managed to get a goal then.

i thought Bikey played well when he came one. Was infinitely better than Sonko, who is definitely a liability at this level. He's been sussed out by other teams and has to be replaced.

At least Bikey tries to play the ball rather than hoofing it, admittedly he gave the ball away a couple of times today by trying to make a killer pass when a simpler option was on, but i'd have him in instead of Sonko at the moment.

Cisse played alright though i thought.

1) I wonder what would have happened if Doyle had gone down as he rode a clumsy tackle midway through the first half?

2) Pass and move. FFS. Just some level of movement would have been more impressive than that rather static display.

3 )Bikey impressed me.

4) Cisse wasn't bad.

5) Two big misses - Convey after 5 minutes, Hunt later on. Just one goal could have changed things.

6) Utaka is a lot faster than all of our back 4.

If you could somehow blend the two, you'd have a rockin' defensive midfielder.

TBF I think Shorey was ill and shouldn't really have played, although even when fit he'd still of been wasted by Utaka's pace.

De La Cruz is faster than Shorey !

Should have been a penalty to us and a red card to them as the offender was every bit as much the last man as Sonko was and, if anything the angle was more favourable to Doyle.

However, with that twat in black in charge (actually yellow on this occasion and not in charge in any shape or form!) it would have been neither as he had clearly decided very early on to give Portsmouth complete immunity from all offences!

No man of the match thread?

I'd vote for Bobby Convey, anyway!

Very drole. Ingimarsson, I spose.

Still true after the Spurs game. Those Villa defenders and their set-piece goals. Better watch out!
