Nearly every player Jacket has got rid off would walk into this team ...... Naismith !! Hawkins !! Pitman !! Rose !! Chaplin !! Roberts !!
@Mike50618589: 1st loss since last April at fortress Fratton....don’t worry though ...the board think this is the manager to get us to the championship....NO CHANCE
@mikeythomas2017: Time to go Kenny & Joe. Boring football is fine when you’re winning but we ain’t! Lost the fans months ago but the players ain’t playing for you now. Shambles.

@chrisha73699484: Nothing to be surprised about, players not playing for the manager. Get him out.
@barnard_mr: @Pompey Should count yourselves lucky that fans weren’t allowed back in today.
@oscarjpearson: First time I’m saying it because I’ve always respected him, but that’s enough. KJ has to go. This weekend. PUP.
@GregAdampfc: Losing to a team in dire straits, enough is enough, he's lost the players & fans.
@beiderbecks: How much more of Jackett do we have to put up with?
