Probably because of all of the reasons that we don’t like him apart from the points per game part. The style of play, the lack of tactical nous and the rigidity of set up. A reliance on pre-planned substitutions. A reliance on senior pros irrespective of form and the under use of youth. The infuriating business speak and political non answers and an inability to engage/excite the fans.

I’ve always liked Soutts, he’s a ball magnet in both boxes and he’s good with his feet for a big lad. Should’ve had more minutes under Rowett. Will no doubt get injured in the World Cup for ‘Stralia though.

The fact that he’s had Soutts sat on the bench for the last few games and not given him ANY minutes until tonight is another nail in the coffin for Rowett. Terrible spell in charge of us. Needs dropping off and leaving at the services on the way back from Blackburn.

Buzzing for tonight

No - Stolly, Lacscellsy, Aribsy, Hamzy, Stephy, Jordy, Muksy, Jeremy.

Vietesy Lukey Vesty Soutty Riccy Skippy Winksy Ramsey Fattsy Daksy Duujy What a.time to be alive.

This is not about showing gratitude, it’s just not booing one of our players during a game that we are trying and need to win.

Part of any fee for them could cover their remaining wages. It would leave the club with minimal cash to use but it would rid them of monthly wages. It’s easier with those who have a year in Winks, Vesty, Reid. More complicated with the likes of Skipp, Okoli etc

Point still stands mate. Booing one of your own players during a match has never been a good thing. Whatever level, whatever stakes are being played for. Btw my head isn’t in the sand. I criticise the team. I think Winks has been an embarrassment to his profession considering he’s fallen out with almost every manager. But whilst this was the longest shot, a win would’ve kept the season alive and we were one goal away from that. I’m just stating a fact.

My point still stands mate. Booing one of our own players during the match didn’t help and won’t help in the future.

I think the club will be desperate to get rid of all of the high earners still contracted - Winksy, Skipp, Vesty, Souttar, Okoli, BDCR, Hamza, Thomas need to be moved on. Fatawu, Mavididi, Nelson, Stolarcyck and the kids are all on lower wages

Either are better than Rowett but that’s a very low bar.

If we had won last night we wouldn’t be relegated yet. I get the numerous issues with Winks and after Saturday I was massively surprised he was in the squad and then surprised he was actually brought on despite Aribo being on the bench. That’s on our useless manager. But having brought him on, booing in game wasn’t ever going to help us win the 3 points that would’ve kept us interested. If we had won and Blackburn draw or lose tonight it could’ve been game on.

Still not sure booing a player DURING a match every time he kicks the ball is ever helpful to a team trying to win a game. I get the booing before and after an appearance to an extent but during a match isn’t helping anyone.

Surely one of the very worst new manager (non) bounces in the history of Championship football. A terrible appointment. We’ll be seeing a lot of his face on Sky EFL coverage next year because of the number of clubs he’s failed at (and thus he has links to) and the fact he won’t be getting another manager job any time soon.

I genuinely hope Vietes plays, Beggo is shocking and Jakob’s confidence is through the floor. Same goes for Soutts - play the lad ffs. Nelson out for the season so it would have to be Lascelles.

Not the players - there’ll be mainly the kids that deserve our support. It needs to be aimed at Top and Rudkin

He saying Hermansen, Justin etc was sold due to an urgent problem with liquidity. How does he know that?

Written by a staunch Everton fan btw so take some of it with a pinch of salt. They hate us after their points deductions

No mate. The biggest news story on Saturday was fans protesting at the players IN the ground attending the match. Picked up by national media, as well as a stadium of Pompey fans and press An empty away end would’ve given the players an easy ride. An empty away end would’ve meant Winksy could’ve got on the bus without having to answer to some home truths and deal with his own embarrassing reaction.

There’s little evidence that not attending games helps the situation. If you are trying to sell a club, a resilient fanbase is a good start. I’m sure 45k turning up at Newcastle helped sell that club, and still attending gives the opportunity to protest in the stadium. An empty stadium allows an owner who doesn’t give a shit to give even less of a shit. If it makes you feel better though, believe YOUR own narrative. Moan about the many non happy clappers that attend the game and slag them off on social media whilst continuing to watch Leicester on telly.

It wasn’t tame, it was positively toxic and rightly so. Plenty of Pompey fans mentioned it on X - Applauding the LCFC fans’ reaction to the insipid performance of their team.

He’s got another year anyway

Rowett definitely doesn’t have that ppg at Leicester or Oxford.

Points per game don’t lie mate. No revisionism. Cifuentes is a poor manager but Rowett is statistically worse AND he has ditched the young players.
