POMPEY FANS CHANT "THAT WAS EMBARRASSING" AFTER 3-0 THRASHING vs BRISTOL CITY 😫

[@Fournilwrittenalloverit]

Another fully blown disaster today. Will be reading through your thoughts. See you on NYD and thank you for watching as always💙

[@keithnewton2676]

We will not be a championship next season not good enough and the manager is not good enough for this league so we will be playing the likes of Wrexham and company next year

[@keithnewton2676]

I’m so pissed of with the team mos put out today didn’t he care if we lost

[@keithnewton2676]

If players can’t handle the pressure of playing every game then they should not be playing football if I earned as much as they do a month I would bloody play every single game absolutely rubbish they need a break

[@spencerluton7721]

As a Bristol City fans there were moments of hope for your team as you retained the ball well but we were more up for the fight I think for revenge, your fans were absolutely amazing & sincerely hope you stay up so we get to see that amazing support at our place again next year (& same scoreline hopefully only joking) Good luck for your season ahead

Happy New Year Tom keep the faith it will get better after all it’s Pompey

[@darm1735]

That bloke shouts twice, he’s offside, should of gone too SPECSAVERS!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 All the best lads, long season for your boys 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@petergladman3054]

I think we have to admit this is not a championship team. We are not a big club anymore just an old one, we just live off the glory years. There is no depth of talent as was proven in this game with four changes. I am 77 yrs old Pompey born and bred and supported Pompey man and boy, but I like to think I am being realistic when I say we don't have what it takes to attract the sort of players needed to turn this club around. The support for this club is fantastic and second to none but supporters don't win matches, only talented players. Excellent vlog as always Tom, but the disappointment in your voice is there for all to hear. PUP.

[@124Outdoor]

Ah, the joys & woes of being Portsmouth. Been saying it all season, it’ll come down to the last game of the season. We’ll stay up. Cheers to the Four nil crew for this year. Us Pompey who live overseas rely on your channel. Happy new year! Keep the faith. PUP! 🔵⚪️

I’d really rather it didn’t go down to the wire but I think you’re right! Thanks very much for all the support

[@BrianHarris-lg9pi]

Tom, very speedy upload tonight so many thanks. I’m a father of two boys who one day were in their 20s, and albeit didn’t play football to Silvera’s level, would always come home gutted if they performed poorly for their local side. And that’s without an away end of OUR fans chanting that we should be sending him back - so I personally identified with Dan’s words. Yes, each and every opinion has a value, and every ticket paying Pompey fan has a right to voice his or hers views, yet I can’t help feeling awful for Sammy and unsurprised that he was straight down the tunnel as you described Tom. This feels like the biggest January in your lifetime I would imagine Tom, I really hope we accordingly estimate how and where we make our moves this month. Well done to you, Reece and Dan for sticking with it at the end and summing up your emotions for us all. Your delivery is always spot on. I look forward to the New Year’s instalment.

[@myslicki]

Thanks!

[@Fournilwrittenalloverit]

Thanks very much!

[@MadMothz]

January transfer window can’t come quick enough. We need experienced players who know how to grind out results if we’re gonna have any chance of staying up. I knew things were gonna be tough this season, but it’s so sad when the players don’t even look like a proper team.

[@Fournilwrittenalloverit]

Championship ready players to impact the side now! Spot on! Thanks for watching

[@jowiseman740]

I think January will be every bit as bad as the summer recruitment to be honest. It will just be loans and players from league one if anything.

Hi Mate, another Brilliant video as Always, Even I am lost for words on that performance, I at least thought you would get a point out of the match, but never really looked like scoring. Up next Swansea at home, you will really have to be on you're metal for that one...Swansea are a decent team. If the supporters manage to get fratton Park rocking then you have a chance. Keep up the Outstanding work you're doing mate , Keep the faith and as always play up pompey ⚽️⚽️⚽️

[@Fournilwrittenalloverit]

Yeah really tough watch Brian, thanks very much for your support as always. Look forward to bringing our New Year’s Day video to you!

[@Bean-js9bc]

Kudos to the fans that travelled again today to witness another awful performance. I've become convinced that we must be overtraining the players, given the bad results when a midweek game is involved, the late goals we concede, and the injuries. Either that or the players aren't fit. Today was further proof that our regular bench is short of Championship quality. We need to get off to a fast start on the January transfers. We can stay up, but it will be tight.

[@Fournilwrittenalloverit]

Perhaps right down to the last day? I’ve got a horrible feeling it might! Thanks for your excellent reflections and for taking the time to watch!

[@mrannonymous4822]

Mous was naive today with the team selection. Yes there needed to be rotation but so many at once was a huge disruption to the team knew it was going to be a long afternoon as soon as that team sheet was out 😢

[@jowiseman740]

How can you rotate when your squad is as weak as ours? He doesn't have the players to do it and should have kept the team that played against Watford. He dropped 3 of our best players, the only players that have carried a goal threat this season and dropped a defender who scored last week and had a decent game against a team competing for a place in the play offs. The team selection was nothing short of idiotic and he got what he deserved. We were blown away yet again and are back in the bottom three. Based on what I've seen this season it is where we deserve to be.

[@MMRSCITT]

A very classy response to what must have been a very dispiriting away day. You and your mates represent our club brilliantly. Your comments at around 10 minutes are absolutely bang on. Simply put (as pretty much all Pompey fans agree with) - we do not have strength in depth. There has been some bad luck with injuries (Shaughnessy has been a huge loss) and I think focusing on youth (whether by design or out of neccessity) may have been an error. Some of our league 1 players (Lane; Moxon; Mcintyre; Yengi; Saydee; Towler) look like they may not, sadly, be able to make the step up in quality. I would include Ogilvie in that group but, today aside, I think he's shown improvement. Also Devlin has done really well. But ultimately you are right: they wear the shirt and we love them all. No need for personal abuse. Hoping for an amazing January window but we need to be realistic about the calibre of player that would be available, affordable and willing to join. Also not sure who we would be able to offload to balance the books and free up spaces in the squad. I'd also say that I've seen a lot of people criticising Mous' selection today. And I get wanting to play the best 11 (who, as you rightly say, can compete against most teams in this league) every game, but had he started Lang or Murphy and then they pulled up with a muscle injury then people would spit feathers about not protecting our best players. Tough call for Mous and I still back him.

[@eddiecouling7328]

Resting players after a loss should be the next game to win! If we don't get a result at home against Swansea it needs looking at.

[@ENGBriseB]

The offside shouts while the pompey number 3 is playing everyone on 😂

[@SimonFlynn-un1ur]

Well done Tom...bringing these videos come win lose or draw. Seems like we are crawling towards the transfer window..desperate for reinforcements all over the pitch but particularly centre back. Just can't cope with the number of games at this level with the current squad...but reasons to believe we can stay up. Window is crucial

[@camerongillon53]

The story of our season, the lack of investment in the summer being heavily exposed once we can't field our best 11 on a weekly basis, we have completely capitulated without Lang, Murphy and Potts. That comes down to not having the depth in the squad to compete in this division. Our best players performing papers over the cracks of the players we have that aren't up to this league, so when we have to replace our strongest players with more personell who can't compete, we get ran through, punished and beat within the first 45 minutes. Moral of the story, if we don't get the right players in January, we will keep capitulating, we will keep up with one step forward, two steps back and we will be in serious trouble.

[@PompeyDave-w6m]

The fact is we have too many players , good in league 1 but not up to this division . We need at least a couple of experienced championship performers . With the way the fixtures are organised it's understandable keeping our best for the more winnable . Not a great advert for following Pompey on the road . Thanks for covering the game Tom which was a pretty thankless task today .

[@lawrencetonna7417]

Thanks again .Tom a very poor game. Up 2am to watch that rubbish how you guys follow that up and down the country I'll never know .happy new year to you all 😂

[@harrytwood]

All I can say about this January window is that we don't need to break the bank but we really need to spend significantly enough to improve our chances of staying in the Championship by bringing in players who could make an instant impact. Big window ahead for everyone at Pompey. 👍🏻 #Pompey

[@jowiseman740]

I think January will be every bit as bad as the summer recruitment to be honest. It will be loans and kids or players from lower divisions. They won't spend any money.

Hi Tom and Andrew, I had big hopes for this match having seen Bristol play at Norwich. 0:12 How sad that a narrow minded attitude to buying players has resulted in a performance like that and the FNWALOI gang have commented on in the wash up. All credit to you all Tom for giving up your time to follow Pompey and week in and week out. All the management team from top to bottom should appreciate the fans they have. Did read a bit from Delia Smith after one Norwich game ‘I wish our supporters were like Pompey, no matter what they support their team’ Can’t say much more than that.

[@Mark-pu7tp]

Spot on Tom. As soon as I saw the changes to the starting lineup, I thought we were in trouble, as we do not have the depth in our squad to make that many changes and still perform at our levels. This squad will not stay up without more championship ready performers, hoping for a positive January.

[@davidlawrence5682]

The line up was strange... We cannot afford to play that first half team selection...Simply not good enough without Lang Murphy and Potts.

You were awesome against us at Fratton Park, showed enough to me and others that you’re certainly not out of your depth and capable of picking up enough points to stay up. I hope you do it. For now, we’re equal, let’s just call it 3-3 for the season.

Respect for that. topsy turvey, today you were better. Good Luck for the rest. PUP 💙💙💙

[@liam_healey9693]

Think you will, be fine this season but you need to buy some centre backs in jan

[@Spentastic]

Lack of depth in the squad, that’s the glaring problem that has been exposed time and time again in the first half of the season. Would be interesting to see how Richard Hughes did with say double the current playing squad wages and transfer budget. At the moment it’s hard to judge due to the fact he’s so far not been supported properly for this level of football by the owners

[@callumdowst8754]

the only thing I can think for the 4 thrashings is that in those games we have tired to play a more attacking style vs points on the road we have sat in a low block and counter attacked, so why aren't we doing this every away game? It just screams of tactical naivety

[@StaceyJackson-dw8hy]

Your video highlights quite clearly where the issue lies I think Tom. Play a through ball between Pack and Towler and you’re probably in 1 on 1! Schmid can’t and won’t bail us out all the time! Poole, Shaughnessy et al needed back soon!

[@user-ej4cr9ft7v]

That was so poor, our squad is massively lacking depth & quality.

[@johnroberts9053]

We really didn't show up to the match today. A poor performance all round; even Nico, who has been brilliant so far had a bad day. Sometimes the lads just look exhausted, yet we play the same number of matches as the rest. Whatever, merry crimble everyone. A win at home and it won't look so dire. PUP 💙💙💙

[@harrytwood]

We end 2024 with a disappointing result and performance away at Bristol City, Pompey were definitely 2nd best today but overall what decent year 2024 has been for Pompey, getting promoted and being back in the Championship albeit we could and should be doing better.

[@jowiseman740]

I've defended Mousinho all season, but I'm losing faith in him. He and Hughes made a total mess of recruitment in the summer. I'm beginning to think they need to go. Today was just mind-boggling. What kind of manager benches 3 of his best players and drops a defender who had a decent game against Watford and scored? We've got a dismal squad, two midfielders playing in our back four, endless injuries and a manager who thinks it's a good idea to drop his best attacking players and top goalscorers for a game against a mid-table side that we could have taken something from had he actually set us up to try and win. 4 wins all season and second bottom in the league thanks to Mousinho and Hughes. O'Neil, Robins and even Schumacher are a better option at this point. I just don't trust Mousinho and Hughes to do any better in January than they did in the summer. Our return to the championship has been disastrous so far. When even the team you beat into second place in league one last season is spanking you 4-0 you know you've got it all wrong.

[@TheAndyJBall]

with the news about the PFC deficit on top of the results and Plymouth remove Rooney the future doesn't look good, mousinho could already be touting his CV on X . This was never going to be easy, but as a shareholder I would expect much better than these lack lustre performances. the next week will be telling, Swansea and Sunderland could blow the final whistle on the 24/25 campaign

there were players out there today that wouldnt stand out in league one, im not gonna name names but we have a player or two that are not up to championship level anymore and we have more than a few that are not nearly ready for the league, if we dont get some quality and PAY for it in January then i dont see us surviving as the squad currently stands, the happy clappers will always spout the next game will be better lol but lets be realistic the window is our savior or our doom. cheers

[@masonrowsell8998]

Why is our manager not playing Harvey Blair

[@ageingrapidly]

Clearly we need to strengthen the squad. IMO we need an on-the-pitch leader figure who maybe is past his best but can bring out the best in others and most importantly - organise them. Worth getting that one key figure (rather like Merson brought out the best in the other players in our promotion year) more than three average players. Too many potential draws turning into defeats and too many defeats turning into thrashings. That said it's hard to believe we don't have sufficient talent in the squad to stay up.

[@skacel7]

Fans let themselves down today. That wasn't embarrassing. That was the bestest 3-0 defeat in the history of football. Best stadium. Bestest fans. Biggestest club.

[@frankiehullett4881]

I didn't like how we treated silvera, he's no way near as bad as we're acting he just had a bad 2nd half and he isn't quite good enough for the championship but we have 7-8 players exactly like that. Safe to say he won't be playing for pompey again after that

[@stevenhird7700]

Well we all love Pompey unfortunately we lack any depth in the squad need to clear out the dross bring in 2 centre backs another fast winger a box to box midfielder and a fast striker we have no pace in the team to counter Keep the faith

[@johnbailey2824]

Woeful ... Second best to second balls, no strategy in defence, mid or attack. Relentlessly gave the ball away, squad players just not good enough. The lack of investment simply obvious. I think JM has actually given up. He gives the 2nd string chances and nobody takes them. Going to be a long season.

[@bornpompey2]

Bristol city weren't even that good today, they had a simple plan learnt from our recent games, play it simple, play it long and bypass the midfield press, they must have looked at our starting line up and laughed! At least 7 of the starting line up are not up to the standards required in the Championship, and unless Mous and co get to grips with that in the next 32 days they will take us back down to L1!

[@Josht-tl8rt]

Yet we made you look league 2 and coasted the second half 🤣 enjoy league one next year 🙏🏽

[@bornpompey2]

@Josht-tl8rt we'll see wont we

[@RO8s]

Someone on Twitter posted a comment that made me a bit thoughtful - it might just be that Mous wanted to demonstrate to the owners that he simply doesn't have the players and needs more. Ballsy move if so! Last game before the window, away to a team who have only been beaten at home twice all season, Pompey playing badly away from home... He might have thought, "Let's demonstrate that we need more depth..." I can think of no other reason to change three players (while keeping them on the bench!). The full-strength team can compete with anyone, but lose even one and Pompey look threadbare. What amazes me though is the lack of effort. I love Marlon but it's time, I think, to make the move to coaching...

[@EFLFANTASYJOSH]

Nice vlog mate. Hard luck today, we just outplayed you and with all your changes you didnt stand much chance. Pack at CB is a car crash waiting to happen, not sure why you didnt start Callum Lang since as far as im aware he is one of your star players. Being honest I think you will struggle to stay up but I hope you do at the expense of Cardiff, lol!

[@shuttz98]

Standard away performance for us this season. Up there with one of the worst away atmospheres I've been at. Must win against Swansea after resting Potts, Lang and Murphy today

[@TheAndyJBall]

They are running out of time, a change is now needed, personnel, tactics, strip or ball colour, doesn't matter but league one looks to be inevitable without something happening

[@sammcgregor0]

Calling offside for 2 onside goals😂 thought we lot were decent at times, played some nice football passing round us but then just hoof it after. Thing with us is we're very inconsistent. One game were a team that can compete for play offs then the next game well play like a team in relegation. Sort out your CBs and your LB and you'll stay up

[@callumalston5755]

As a Charlton fan supposedly we’re very interested in moxon (we were when you bought him off Carlisle, we also enquired) may be a move that makes sense for both sides?

[@jowiseman740]

Mousinho clearly doesn't rate him as a championship player. Barely had a game this season. If we are serious about staying up we need some players out as well as coming in. The trouble is I don't think the club are serious about staying up and have one eye on next season in league 1 where Moxon probably will be a first team regular.

[@davidharding-f8j]

At this level only money will get you success even spending £2 or £3 million on a player is not going to be enough. This squad is full of players who will make a living in the lower leagues, get rid and start by spending proper fees and wages on 2 or 3 players to keep us up.Dont forget these owners are up there with the richest in this division!!

[@tonysammut3799]

Have to guess that Mousinho has targetted 3 points at Fratton Park on 1st Jan, and sacrificed this match (by benching our best/most creative players). If we get them then perhaps we can forgive the result, if not necessarily the performance.

[@keithlimburn2791]

Won't get rid of jm or Hughes who is the main culpret

[@jowiseman740]

I agree with that. This all comes down to the pathetic summer recruitment, which didn't prepare us for the championship at all. Whoever was responsible for some of these signings needs to go.

[@TomPFC]

Felt like we wrote the game off before it had even started. I understand we need to rest players in a VERY busy period of fixtures, but we don’t have the depth to make 4 changes to key players and expect to be competitive. Too many players out of their depth (I don’t think Silveira will play for us again), Mous got it wrong today.

[@jowiseman740]

Silvera will likely be sent back I think. Seems to have skill, but his decision making needs work. Based on the summer I dread to think who they will bring in to replace him. This season has been a disaster to be honest. I'm not holding out much hope. Some of the teams around us have replaced their managers and it is paying off for them. We just seem stagnant and are relying on the occasional surprisingly good home performance to keep us up. Over all we look a long way off being a competitive championship side.

[@actiondan3991]

[@mikegee4876]

ANOTHER poor away performance from players who quite frankly are NOT UP TO Championship level. If Pompey are to avoid relegation....and it is a BIG IF....it will be the Fratton Park crowd who will keep us up., because away from home we are what we were last year...a Div 1 side.... trying to cope with fitter, faster...and cleverer players than we have met for many years. Management completely wasted the summer transfer market by trying to be too clever and investing in young players who they hoped to sell on for profit at a later date, without considering the strength of most Championship sides, and by getting "experienced" players "on the cheap" none of whom were anything more than "journeymen" in their careers. So it is no surprise to find us getting overrun...all over the pitch in some games...mainly away fixtures. Unless a miracle happens and the Management team recruit some quality players in January we WILL be relegated....unless at the end of the season there are THREE teams with less points than us.!!!!! That could be our saving grace.!!

[@mk1aquatic739]

Not even surprised, I knew we wouldn't turn up today because it's exactly what I expect of a John Mousinho team away. He unfortunately is overdue a sacking now, we thank him for last season but he has to be removed before he does any more damage. Those players know they can turn up or not turn up whenever they want. A better manager gets more out of that squad. Oxford sacked Buckingham because he's not good enough for this level. Rowett comes in and gets better out of the same squad, hats off to Oxford for doing the right thing. We're stuck with inept owners who appoint inept people who then do a terrible job. Completely bored and pretty well past caring about this season now, it's a total disaster from the boardroom to the pitch. There's a good number of people that deserve to lose their jobs for these repeated failures.

[@johnroberts9053]

Agree it was a soft choice, but want we do lack depth in this squad, they cant play gout of their skins every match, PUP 💙💙💙

[@jowiseman740]

I'm finally going to agree with you. Mousinho and Hughes need to go. They've made a complete pig's ear of our return to the championship. Sure, the owners don't spend much on the squad but a decent manager could still find better players even with limited funds. What's really annoying is that Mousinho would rather play people hopelessly out of position than change the formation and tactics. We could play a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-3 and have Swanson, Towler and Ogilvie as the back 3. At least these are actually defenders. Instead we've got a midfielder with no pace playing as a centre back and another midfielder at right back. And people wonder why we've leaked 9 goals in our last 3 away games? Mousinho just looks like a stubborn one trick pony who is bereft of tactical know-how. And what is going on in training that leads to so many players being injured and being completely incapable of playing 3 games in a week without getting absolutely hammered in one of them? Other teams manage it without rotating the squad. I don't trust JM and RH to bring in the right players in January either. The owners need to act now.

Exactly. Very few of us would get away with such a poor attitude as this lot do in our jobs without the threat of sacking or wage deductions. It all ultimately rests at the door of the Eisners, great at doung the off field stuff. Not much good on it. I think we're as good as relegated now, what a waste of time getting promoted.

Oh dear , second again, all that running about for nothing.

[@danielfinch4663]

Are defending is nothing other then shambolic 😀

[@jowiseman740]

I'm starting to lose faith in Mousinho. We all know he and Hughes made a complete mess of recruitment in the summer. That's a given. But today was just very poor management all round and not for the first time this season either. We are all expecting some kind of miracle in the January window, but given the complete pig's ear they made of things in the summer I am not holding out much hope. We just look an absolute mess. Terrible squad, players out of position, no reliable centre backs or strikers to cover Bishop and what on earth goes on in training that is causing so many injuries? Swansea are no mugs and we have won just 3 games at home all season. If he dropped 3 of our best players for this game to focus on Swansea, he's taking a big risk. It's also an insult to the fans who travelled to Bristol expecting to see Pompey at least try and win the game. Instead, the manager threw in the towel before a ball was kicked. He didn't pick a team to win that game and showed the fans and Bristol City zero respect. He got what he deserved and that includes the criticism and the increasing number of fans who are now questioning whether he and Hughes should be at the club.

That ‘play up pompey’ chant is up there as one of the most irritating in the football league. No offence.

[@micktull8733]

We got nothing . Jm wants to be a big fish in a small pond .. good in Div 1 anywhere else forget it

[@whereamiwhereami]

It was said best on three lads in a pub pompey are a team that have this performance in them, it's not a one off it's just how we play....or something to that effect. All I hope is that we squeek out of relegation on the last day of the season if needed. Also I get double helpings of bad results as my best mate is a plymouth supporter and I watch those games to support him and chat at work about the games. It's a dark cloud over both clubs this weekend and Monday will be tough breaking down the how the games went. Good job as always tom and like how balanced you and Dave are at the end. It's takes real character and self control to be measured when your hurting inside. Your all a credit to this club and hope results start to improve more frequently to make us all feel little better.

[@Fournilwrittenalloverit]

Thanks very much for your kind reflections on the video Rob, not a good time to be a Pompey or a Plymouth fan!! The Three Lads in the Pub chat I remember was about accepting that we have these sort of games in our system - which is a really unfortunate thought but I suppose it’s where we are right now. Thanks for all your ongoing support!

[@williamthompson2941]

Same player at fault for all three goals..... said he was crap last season. I am bored with saying it, but we need Saydee fighting away in midfield.....

[@jasonlegg5229]

We are shite. Simples

[@alanprior7650]

Would not be surprised if Pompey bring in a new manager. We have half a season to save ourselves.

[@jowiseman740]

I would be very surprised if they bring in a new manager. He and Hughes were just given contract extensions and it will cost a fortune to pay them off. The Eisners try and do everything on the cheap. They're not going to pay off JM and RH and then bring in someone like O'Neil or Robins and give them money to spend in January as well. Not a chance.

[@F1andfootballfan144]

A year full of ups and downs but has ended on one of the worst performances… January massive. Although I reckon we’ll beat Swansea for some reason 😂. PUP🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

[@alidiaryofadetour8657]

Dreadful performance, have got everything crossed for a big bounce back on Wednesday 🤞

[@Fournilwrittenalloverit]

Look forward to seeing you there!

[@peterchristopher8702]

not a very good 1st half after so much promise at Watford and back in the bottom 3 again

[@dazzer6812]

New manager please, John is out of his depth in this league, why leave your best players on the bench, they get payed to play games 🤦
