2024-25 Championship Match Day Thread

I googled this site's name and found it pretty easily..

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Drew 1-1with Leeds. Played pretty well overall and finally have found a decent looking defence and looking much better organised. Too late I fear.

New signings have been largely a disappointment but Aasgaard and Makosso look like 2 players we could rebuild around. Indeed if I was Aasgaard I’d be having a word with my agent, not sure what induced him to sign here in January, could have had his pick of championship clubs this summer I’d imagine

A predictable defeat at Bristol City.

Lost Baah to another long term injury as well.

Least we had one striker who got a goal.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

1-1 draw in a dire game. Started with some promise I thought but quickly degenerated post Doughty injury into a very bad game.

Draw doesn’t do much for us I don’t think as was a must win for me.

At least we look more organised but attacking wise we are shocking. Chong stealing a living in particular.

 

[Super_horns]

One moment of quality and some good goal keeping decided our game.

Hull tried hard and pressed at the end but didn't really have the quality - nor did we generally but got the goal.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Adebayo out for 9-12 months apparently. Awful season for him and an awful end to it.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Blackburn at home for us today, Doughty now apparently out of for the run in too which means the chronic issue of lack of viable understudy for him crops up again. Never known a couple of seasons like we have had with injuries - we have unquestionably been rubbish but the amount and timing of a lot of the injuries we have had have been massive contributory factors.

 

[Tea Towel]

Won 5 from 19 since the Rohl to Southampton saga

Piss poor end to what looked, at one point, promising season. Home form inexcusable

All over for us then you would expect after todays results.

Injuries to Doughty and Adebayo particularly cruel given their timing but Bloomfield got it all wrong today. Firstly he got suckered into sticking with Alli at LWB because he got a goal in the midweek game even though even in that game he was clearly not comfortable doing it. Then stuck with Chong up front with Morris despite Chong....well Chong is shit to be blunt no matter where you put him but hes certainly not a striker. Never once read a Morris flick on all day.

Morris himself is a shadow of what he was, at least Adebayo misses chances, Morris never even has them. No goal for 4 months and he hasnt looked close either.

Then the subs with a bizarre straight swap for some defenders and sticking the one footed Bowler on the opposite side so he, and Alli had to cut in all the time against a packed defence when the only real space was the wings.

Aasgaard had some moments but really disappointing showing in a "must win" game and whilst the players are poor, Bloomfield certainly didnt help the cause.

Only Clark, Aasgaard and Makosso come out of this with much credit and probably those 3 we need to build around next season in the level below.

I dare not predict too much but looks like Leeds and Burnley are going up now - the latter have us next week so that is another 3 points for them.

Pompey fans can probably rest easy a bit too as they will collect a much needed win on Easter Monday.

Was a big chance wasted - a team out of form at home too.
