Agree, Kent. Am beginning to lose faith. Didn't understand the changes at the back yesterday. I like Clarke but prefer him right back to left and that gives us Barbet. Is Mepham injured? He's done nothing to merit being dropped so I am assuming that until someone tells me different.
They were taking it in turns to niggle and kick us, they were, to be kind, a bit physical and I was thinking early on I wouldn't be surprised to see them get a red. That or one of ours would make one mistake and be the one to get it....you know the story.
O'Neil made a bit of an arse of himself complaining over it. That and the goal, which was offside. Wasn't sure at the time but looking again, just. No one is playing him on. Didn't think Egan was last man either so a booking was right.
Thought Maupay put in a good shift and things just didn't fall right for him, a great save rather than bad miss.
As a side note, I am disgusted with the club for the way they treated my dad before the game. He's been coming since the forties and is in his eighties, travelling up from Pompey every week, bringing three generations of supporters with him at times and he turned up for his usual early sit in the bar and chat with his mates. They had arrived early as they had to take some equipment up for the club and hand it in at the office. The last time there was a meeting about the stadium going on in there, there has been no problem. They've sat other end of room and never even mentioned the meeting. This time, one of the "elite" as he puts it, got a steward to throw them out, despite being told it was cold and raining and he has a heart problem and they couldn't give a monkey's what they were talking about and had been party to club secrets before and said nothing but couldn't hear them from where they were anyway
Don't they have a board room for meetings? (They do) Don't they have a Director's Bar for meetings? (They do). So why hold a meeting in the supporters bar and treat the fans like dirt when they over run? My dad is not happy and feels the way they've been treated is the final nail. They family club feeling has been drifting away the last couple of seasons and for him this just topped it.
