Richie Barker has been in charge of Portsmouth for around a month now, having managed six games he has racked up five pointes, most notably the Boxing Day win against Dagenham & Redbridge. With the January transfer window now open, Barker has been swift in bringing in new recruits, most...

Saturday 14th December 2013, the day Richie Barker's revolution was pencilled to begin. Newport County the visitors to the famous Fratton Park; Pompey seeking revenge after being dumped out of The Johnstone's Paint Trophy, just a month prior to this occasion. A lot has changed in a month at the...

It's been a busy week for Pompey. In my last article, I spoke of Guy Whittingham's tactical (or lack of) ability. Just 4 days later, Whittingham received the phone call, relieving him of his managerial position. After the 2-1 defeat at the hands of S****horpe, boos were ringing around Fratton...

I'm at the game tonight, for the first time since the called-off Wycombe game (due to working weekends). Will be interesting to see the difference Guy's departure has made, and whether it has had a positive effect on the team, or not. I guess we'll soon see what happens at 7:45pm! Very...

I'm going to the game tomorrow night, and I have a horribly bad feeling about it. I hope the defence aren't shaking after conceding another 2 goals on Saturday. I say shake the team up, show the underachievers that they won't be keeping their place if they continue their current form. Get them...

One of Pompey's current players, and one of the ways to get to Portsmouth... Ferry!

Lorna, it's not just 3 defeats, it's a string of errors that have left us loitering in mid-table. If these issues were ironed out in training sessions at the very beginning of the season, I feel we would be challenging for an automatic promotion place. Bare in mind 4 teams go up in League 2, I...

<p>As I sat contently listening to Express FM on Saturday, with Pompey Live playing, I was ready to be entertained by a Pompey team, who were&nbsp;few points from the playoffs with a game in hand. With the home team coming straight off the mark, Pompey were put under immediate pressure. The...

I said a while back about the Christmas period being a tough one, it's proving to be so already! I honestly think if results don't come soon, no matter how scrappy they are, something needs to change. Be it the man in charge, captaincy, or someone from the backroom staff; this cannot continue...

Have to agree with you there, Robin. Many times this season I've thought 'not again', whenever a team attacks. We don't seem confident in our defence, and they don't seem confident in themselves. Bring in perhaps an out-and-out left back, and another centre back, and I'm sure we can push higher...

What is everyone's predictions for tonight's game? Can Guy Whittingham's men make it to the area semi-finals, and get one step closer to Wembley? Baring in mind injuries and suspensions have left us quite short for tonight's game, I'm going for a 1-0 Pompey win. PUP.

A lot of our players have the ability to shift positions if needed, and it baffles me why that wasn't done last night. Devera can play LB/CB/CDM/CM if needed Padovani can play anywhere in the middle East can play LB/RB Ertl can play RB/CB/CDM Ferry can play CM/CAM Holmes can play LM/CAM/RM...

<p>As 600+ Pompey fans made the trip across the Severn Bridge, the dream of a Wembley return was just three games away. Newport County being the destination, a club managed by former Portsmouth player, Justin Edinburgh.<br /><br />The game became an early nightmare for the fans that travelled...

My team sheet: GK - Carson CB - N'gala CB - Bradley CB - Devera CDM - Ertl RM - Holmes CM - Padovani LM - Barcham CAM/CF - Marquis ST - Ageymang ST- Bird Subs: Smith Cooper Painter Craddock Connolly

I've got a good feeling about it Chix, providing the JPT doesn't take over, and we begin losing focus on the league, then we'll be fine. I balance is needed when it comes to league and cup games, which is something I think we've got. In Pompey We Trust.

So you could call Dave the 'grandfather' of VP? Haha! I'll definitely bare that in mind, thanks! I'm already addicted, it's great to be able to get involved and discuss everything Pompey. It's great to be a part of an ever-growing blog, and it's even better when it involves the Blues! PUP.

Cheers Rug! :4: I'm looking forward to Christmas, not because of the wine, chocolate and mince pies, but because this tends to be the period that defines the rest of the season! If we can string together a few points in that time, as well as recruiting a few new players, I have no doubts that...

I agree with this in some respect. Looking at it in a positive light, and learning from other clubs currently in the top-flight, success isn't impossible. We have the JPT to look forward to, with a possible trip back to Wembley Stadium! Granted, it isn't the FA Cup final, but a final...

Have to agree with you Chix! Especially after the opening game of the season I thought 'here we go again', but now we have a game in hand over everyone bar Wycombe, meaning we can reach 8th position, if results go our way. Not too shabby! PUP.
