Broom finally playing in his proper position, now I’m not saying I’m optimistic…….

Interesting no defenders on the bench. Up to Broomy now to prove midfield his best position.

Yes very interesting. I assume if a CB is injured then Jackson moves inside and Broom to RWB.

When Williams, Freestone and Goodwin return competition for a seat on the bench will be fierce, let alone the starting eleven!

This is a top half squad when everyone is fit.

Taken from JP on Twitter:

Starting: Southwood; Long (c), Taylor, Raglan; Jackson, Bonds, Broom, Perry, Ferry; Keena, May

Subs: MacDonald, Sercombe, Brown, Norton, Barkers, Olayinka, Rea

Perry keeps his place and Sercombe drops to the bench... Broom and Perry both need to show something today or else they will surely lose their places to the boys on the bench.

Might just be a fitness/recovery thing after Sercombe’s gut busting midweek. No excuse today for Broom or Perry to have any energy left after an hour, as they have replacements ready to come on. Our midfielders need to be worked and flogged incredibly hard from now on and run the team to safety.

Other than Sercombe/Rea for Perry that's the best team we could name.

Bloody awful defending. Seems we can only show up once every couple of games. Standing off around the edge of the area again.

Surely there was Portsmouth player standing offside in Southwood’s line of sight when the ball was struck as well as the ref screwing up the free kick in the first place!
Can’t understand why Olayinka isn’t playing.
This is just a bloody shambles. Elliott’s team selection is hopeless.

Don't want to see Perry in a Cheltenham shirt again. Yet he seems to be first on the team sheet

Perry just jogs. Useless. Minimal effort. Waste of a man.

Sounds awful. Glad I have spent no time or money on it.

Currently other results going our way.

That's the only silver lining, we're going to have to hope they continue to go our way because this is worse than Barnsley and that's saying something

No pressure on the ball.
Same old story.

Gonna be worse than that Crewe result the way this is going. Midfield even more absent than usual. Rea must be sat there watching and wondering if he's joined amateurs.

Raglan is all over the place.Shocking.Perry? As poor a performance as your likely to ever witness.
Have had enough of this "C'mon lads, we go again next week" sh!t3.Next weeks are running out and League Two is flying towards us.Sort out that midfield for a start.

Halliwell: "you can't just change formation and match them up because they haven't played that formation and done any work on it"

How could it be any bloody worse?! It doesn't look like they have done any work in THIS formation and they've been playing it for years.

Raises the question if we are this bad do we really want (or deserve) to stay up?!?!

I'm not even sure we'd be any good in League 2 honestly. I try to like Wade but the fact that I'm starting to care less and less about the outcome of this season is worrying.

Let's remember this is a bang average, mid-table Portsmouth side. They started today only 9 points ahead of us and we've made them look like 2010 Barcelona. Christ knows what's gonna happen on Tuesday

If we finish above four teams, then yes it’s deserved as we would have won more points than the four teams below.
