    On point 2) about desensitising the players. Literally the only positive I can find in us signing Dads Army players is they are experienced and some of them experienced at a far higher level than this, point 2 shouldn't apply. We cannot be blaming the opposition with limited resources compared to us, they'll do whatever they need to do and we need to adapt or stay in this league for the foreseeable. Only got ourselves to blame for missing a golden opportunity on Saturday to extend the gap and put the pressure on others. We were bloody awful in what should have been one of our lesser remaining games.

    He's been a very poor signing if we're being kind

    Nail on the head. Pompey are pissing this league and they are nothing special. We've barely improved if at all from last season just in a weaker league. If the players and manager can't get out of this league they can all do one when the contracts expire if not before.

    Is that typical though? Except TJJ they are all old men, bound to get injuries, naive to think otherwise. This isn't hindsight, you sign these sorts of players in league 1 its because they have no better options and they are broken and risky to sign.

    I just hope they (the club, Warne etc) learn from the experience this season with injuries whatever league we're in next. You sign players past their best with chequered injury records and this sort of thing is inevitable. Who honestly saw Gayle lasting to the season end?

    the league is crap and it's an especially crap division this year compared to previous years
     
    you are completely correct we can be rubbish and still go up, it will be a huge disapointment if we arent in the championship next year
     
    the teams that came down have been terrible but will sort themselves out by next year, the teams coming down this year will be much better & more worryingly the teams coming up from league two will likely be at the top end of the division so whatever we achieve this season next year is going to be much harder

    Would any other manager with the team in this position in the league divide opinion so much? Strong likelihood those against Warne are correct and those in favour are slightly blinkered by us somehow being 2nd despite Warne.

    We sit 2nd in the league but I genuinely believe any half competent manager would have had us all bar promoted by now with the amount of points everyone else below us keeps dropping. The scenes on here when we limp into the playoffs and get dumped out in the semis will be quite something. How many years left on his contract? Wake me up when its run out or Clowes grows a pair.
