I messaged the keeper coach on Twitter about the short goal kicks, he's pointed me firmly in Williams direction so it's obviously his footballing vision or car crash in reality!
Modern football, ladies and gentlemen. |

A part of modern football we clearly need to stop following as there is very little benefit to be obtained from it and a whole lot of risk. I reall fail to see what the point of it is, especially in shit weather like today.

I think the idea is that long goal kicks immediately create a 50/50 situation whereas the short routine should ensure posession.except that in our case,it doesn't.

That's more like it. As bad as it gets, is it as bad as April 2000?!
Frank Talia
Mark Robinson
Adan Willis
Alan Reeves
Gareth Hall
Scott Leitch
Lee Collins
Michael Meaker
Wayne Gray
Charlie Griffin
Giuliano Grazioli
Subs:
Steve Mildenhall
James Williams
Steve Cowe
Sol Davis
Paul McAreavey
Edit: Swap the front line and maybe the centre backs (although both Reeeeves and Willis could have their day) and there's not a great deal in it.
I absolutely loved Scott Leitch |

Scott Leitch was actually pretty good, how you can put him in ahead of Rodgers or someone like Darren Bullock who was a thug not a football player I'm not really sure....
Oh and Tony Thorpe was much worst than Grazioli!

I did as well. Especially when he linked up with Walters. |

Yep, I'd hazard a guess that short goal kicks are not the problem. Rather the problem is that we're just not that good at it..... yet. |

Fucking woeful start. Really woeful.
I had a pact at 3 zip to the pub and Southend really should of sent me there when they squandered a great chance to bury us.....they paid a high price for it.
We turned it round....
They were second best throughout the second half and the result was well deserved
Bizarre match and three points on the board towards safety...amen...

I absolutely loved Ajose's 2nd goal, you don't see a breakaway 1-on-1 often enough  |

Wait till you see the highlights. We persist even when the short one is not on. It's fucking embarrassing. |

Likewise. Not all bad in there. Pompey got quite a deal getting him for about £25k I think. I actually thought Adam Willis could have been decent. Had a string on MoM performances one year... |

I have seen 'that' goal, what a mess. I still stand by what I said though. It may not be the notion, but rather the execution. |
