Yep plenty of positives. Was angry last night and just needed to vent/rant.
2 huge take aways for me:
Rothwell and Tanaka (although a shaky start) showed they're a good enough pair to control large portions of matches at tough grounds. Bodes very well.
Piroe's all round game was very good last night. He won a few balls pressing. Made some great runs. Had some lovely touches in tight areas. Held it up. He looks confident as fuck (that chest down and volley was going in btw). He made his goal look easy. If he can play like that regularly then what a difference having a prolific striker up top could have to our season. Yeah I know I'm fickle , but he just really impressed me.
Can’t help but feel that our own fault, we took foot of thr gas yet again, We really need to understand the 1 goal just isn’t enough. Horrendous from Meslier but we should have been out of sight. 2 points dropped not one gained for me.

No need for Bogle to give the free kick away in the first place either.

We've conceded 7 goals this season. 3 should've been saved. Pompey 1st day, that pen last week, and this.
Balls just go through this guy.
Rodon fucked up last week but you know it's a rare thing so it's not a concern. However, this keeper gives me a heart attack everytime ball goes near our box.

I'm not sure about the pen.
Fair dos. I only saw one replay but it looked pretty bad to me.

Nope. He’s not the best defensively, bit like firpo, good going forward but !!!

Fwiw after 9 games last season we were 12th on 13 points
Plus after our next match we'll have played most of the automatic and playoff favourites in our first 10 games. A very tough start.
It was the park the bus lesser teams we fucked up against last year. Just can’t tell with farkeball what we will do.
It’s nothing new Sid. Bielsa faced the same problems and we didn’t always break down those teams under him. I get it. You don’t like Farke. But not everything has to circle back to him.
, but he just really impressed me.
