Thread | We have more chance of going up now than next season
by PatfromPoole at 08:32 27 Jan 2026
For the club to just write the season off now, as Nick indicated on Solent last night, is madness.
Even with the big points gap to the play-offs, if we can somehow get 3 or 4 wins on the bounce, it puts us in with a chance of finishing in the top 6.
The Championship will be much tougher next season, in our final year of the big parachute payments.
Burnley, Wolves and (probably) West Ham will be strong.
Birmingham will be stronger, probably Sheffield United and probably Wrexham would as well too. Even Norwich may have some impetus.
If we don't go up this season, we could well lose Scienza and Harwood-Bellis, and would we really replace them with superior players????
If we can get in the play-offs this season, I don't think there would be anyone to fear.
We are in danger of looking back on this in years to come as a real chance wasted. |

Thread | Scienze injury

Word from the club is that Leo Scienze has a slight groin strain & early assessment suggest it's not too serious.
Will be assessed this week, let's hope he's back soon we really are dependant on him, he's been the only bright spot so far this season.
Come back soon Leo.

Had the second lowest player rating in the starting line up, yet he created Scienza's goal by controlling Bree's very high crossfield clearance with one touch and laying on an inch perfect pass for Scienza's goal.
He was also the man who put Armstrong through for the one and one on the keeper..
So that surely deserves a better rating, likewise Adam Armstrong, lower than Azaz he had two major chances both well saved yet polls lower than Matsuki. |

Thread | 5 Things About The Trip To Pompey
by SaintNick at 11:38 26 Jan 2026
1. It caused much mirth before the game, when one fella was soaked down his back because he had taped a Capri Sun pouch full of Whiskey to his back and he had leant on it and it had burst
2. Didnt seem that much in the way of catering at St Mary's the Dell bar was open, but ir was far from full at 8am
3. I'm not sure that safe standing areas are that safe, when we scored there were people standing on the seats on the bars and flying down the rows
4. The atmosphere wasn't that great, I think they are first and foremost haters of Southampton than supporters of Portsmouth fc
5. As above they dont make much noise for a stadium packed with 50,000 home fans |

Thread | 2 Poor teams at Fratton Park
by PJK1972 at 09:23 26 Jan 2026
I think those of us that haven't woken up yet, need to. The 2 teams that played yesterday at Fratton Park were very poor, even if it was an improvement on the showing at St Marys earlier this season.
To be slightly better than a very poor Portsmouth team should not be nothing to aspire to. They should have been at our mercy this season, instead we have come away with 2 bang average draws.
Of all the players in the Saints team, we have to think about who we'd keep to get a promotion drive going for next season. Judging by the last 10 games, we are so way off a promotion level team it's laughable. I think we are just about on relegation avoidance level form.
Sorry to come across as pesamistic, but this season has kind of worn me down.
So who would you keep? (obviously apart from Leo, who I think everyone knows deserves the shirt.) |

Thread | Danny Rohl
by DorsetIan at 17:29 25 Jan 2026
Working miracles at Rangers, after the absolute car crash of Russel M.
Only 4 points of the top now and great chance to win it. Can't help but have my fingers crossed for the guy. Not least because it makes Martin look like such a chump.
And I've always liked the theory that it is all started to go wrong for Saints when Rohl left.

Thread | Bree straight back in for Pompey
by GRIM at 10:56 25 Jan 2026
Strange decision.
We've brought James Bree back from his loan & stuck him straight back into the team against Pompey.
I can't work that one out.
Also Matsuki in for Fellows.
Thought perhaps Romeu would have been involved todayhe would have relished the battle.

Watching Bournemouth v Liverpool.
He’s been very influential in the first half. At fault for both of the goals conceded and scores off his shoulder from a corner.
He’s certainly not the player he was and they look defensively vulnerable. There will be more goals in the second half I reckon. |

Due to having to get up at 6.30 am to leave home at 7am, to check in at 7,30am for a coach that leaves at 8.30 am and arrives at Portsmouth at 9.15 am I need to put up this thread now.

I notice that JWP is in the West Ham squad to play Sunderland today, does that mean he’s staying or is he in the shop window? I know which I would prefer. |
