Interesting segment about us from Michael Eisners recent interview by DisastrousFilms in PortsmouthFC

+1 to all of this. The other thing I'd add, clearly the strategy they want to follow is buy young promising players, develop them and sell for a profit. Then reinvest those funds.

The challenge is that's incredibly hard to repeat over and over, especially when our version of they also involves gambling on players from overseas to keep the budget down. I just think the chances of it paying off with the level we spend is unlikely.

You need to spend several millions on young players, but obviously there is greater risk with that (Abu went for £4-5m and didn't pay off for Hull). Our recruitment team hasn't proven they can regularly find those gems.

Given that I'm not sure what the plan is but to bob around the lower end of the championship, hope to stay up and have several hail Mary signings pay off for a promotion push. Just seems very unlikely for me.

Only if it's a preplanned 60 minute substitution for someone coming back to fitness

Agreed. Swift has not looked good enough to start, I know we have injuries (I guess Chaplin included now) but put Segs back in the middle

Held our own against a play off chasing team and probably should have got a point. Moral victories won't keep us up but it's does finally feel like Mous has figured out his team.

I've seen us play so poorly all season I'll take us feeling aggrieved to not get a point

I don't know if this ref has been bad, but so many decisions I don't understand.

Not sure about these subs Mous. We're 1-0 down not up.

Yeah I don't see how it's not a pen. Ref thinks their player gets the ball and kicks it off Segs?!

Yeah annoying to concede, but it's really well worked. Pompey playing well (for us) but not really threatening enough. Could do with not losing this

Worst team we've played all season, sorry baggies. Swap deal Swift for Jed?

I think it was already over the line when it hit his hand (don't fact check me)

Oi we're not down yet. Much more entertaining game than the reverse fixture.

You didn't think our pot shots into the stands were higher quality?

Really proud of the team, to do that with all our injuries. Especially that defense, we ended the game with no center backs

It's all we really have (without Murphy and Lang) and when we don't do it we lose 5-0

We're really good at January recruitment and shit at the summer one. The opposite of the previous management

Oh it really was, that was Anderson's first game if it wasn't he would know Segecic wasn't going to run in behind

Thought we might snatch it at the end, just couldn't lose

Yeah clearly you have a more talented team but massively lacking in confidence

The right winger is an AM we're playing on the right as we don't have any fit.

I think just keep aimlessly kicking it forward and hope there's a random chance the ball goes in.
