 Pompey v Swans : John Mousinho speaks plus do Pompey have a weakness 3rd Nov 2026 08:00The Swans are already in preparation for their trip to Hampshire for tonight’s game against Portsmouth (7:45pm) Head coach, Vitor Matos, who we reported exclusively yesterday will not be joining Portuguese club, Sporting Lisbon will be looking for the same domination and effort that saw his side demolish Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.  0
 Portsmouth 3 Swansea City 1 : That’s eight goals conceded in two away games 3rd Nov 2026 22:38The expected Portsmouth tactics showed up tonight, coupled with a rank-awful Swansea performance for nigh on seventy minutes, resulting in another away defeat. The time-wasting, fake injuries and targeting of Swansea players, which left Stephen Welsh unable to walk off the pitch, pretty much sorted this game out. Portsmouth, though, had the desire. Swansea did not. 1

We pissed about last night and it has cost us top place (if for a while) I hope the players realise that. |
Agreed. |  |

I understand backing Cabango, and you're right to point out that fatigue could be a factor. But it's clear that for a long time he's been a regular starter, and any other centre-backs brought in have simply been to partner him. Consequently, I don't think he's ever faced that reality check of feeling his place is in jeopardy—the kind where you realize it's time to step up or end up on the bench. |
Cabango is a decent championship centre half with limited ability on the ball which holds him back. My biggest frustration is we use him 99% of the time to start our moves, 98% of the time it goes backwards or sideways as he doesn't have the ability or confidence to move it forward.
We have to be less predictable and switch things up from the back, use the full backs more and stretch the pitch or go longer to the wingers as we dont have a front man that is capable of holding the ball up effectively - our preferred option is to give it to Cabango to start the old 'to me to you' scenario or boot it into touch with neither proving that effective and netiher causing the oppo any threat. I have said it before the coaches must work with him to improve his passing skills if he is to improve as a player and add more value to the team.
It's a mystery why the coaches haven't been working on this with him? | |

Good post
He’s a standard stopper
Very limited
Greetviro
Marvellous team man
Not a great leader or inspiration though IMO
He has been mismanaged many times the first being deployed as a right back , the most grotesque act of “ coaching” I’ve seen under Russ | |

Decent write up that, I can sense that Welsh looks like he'll be out for a while, how long a while I don't know, but it didn't look good last night, Pompey were over physical last night and the referee should have been stronger, they were trying to kicks off the pitch in that first half, if I had been Matos I would have been in the refs room at half time, the game reminded me of the Luton Town game up there a few years ago  [Post edited 4 Nov 15:57]

First tackle on one of our subs (welcome to the game!) was worthy of a booking, not even a stern look or word from the ref , who was a but iffy at best...if you watched the game on sky sports + , there was an interesting comment by one of the commentators |  | | |

The Commentators on the night got on my nerves, if they weren't homers they clearly made their preferences clear, for me anyway, I turned volume down around halfway through the second half, they got right on my nerves. |  | | |

He wasn't wrong in fairness and his comments confirms my thoughts about the game being very similar to that Luton game and how they approached that game, that game like Tuesdays game should been refereed firmer. | | | |

Hers just having a snide go, something kicked off at the end also, that seems to be not mentioned. | | | |

Always liked to see Graeme Jones when it went pop.
Was in the home end v Bristol Rovers with a load of mates who support the Gas. I think Swans fans were banned ?
Beuatiful timing. | |
