We are in for a,barrage of long ball, crosses raining into the box from everywhere, no tippy tappy. If they're right then that wouldn't necessarily suit a purist like me but if we win - to hell with being a purist.😊 The opposition's box presumably ... |

With a win ratio in and around 47% whatever his choice of tactics are, they seem to work consistently well. That’s good enough for me.👍

I don't mind long balls into box I don't mind tic tac passing. As long as there is a purpose to it and the players are brought into it. I think we lacked purpose last year with our style.

Well considering I spent most of last season yelling at them to get the ball forward, that suits me fine. Pompey supporters on the forum I was looking at last night were overwhelmingly positive about us appointing him. There are a few people on Twitter who are gloating that we will regret it. Those are the Portsmouth equivalent of our Twitter pre-teenagers. As my Granny used to say "If you can't say anything nice, go on social media".

I always thought one of Slade's strengths was that he knew players, often managing to find a good player on loan or the right fit on the transfer market. Evidence of the last two years says that playing around with formations doesn't really work at our level.

Promises of balls into the box and direct football music to my ears. After a season of witnessing a preference for free kicks and throw-ins in attacking areas to be played backwards to the defence or the Keeper - this would be a welcome gear change and arguably more suitable to the standard of player we see at this level. It also gets fans more engaged and vocal in their support. Can't wait for next season to begin!

Reported on Portsmouth forum that Jackett was on roughly 7K a week . So for Orient to be paying anything near that figure is astonishing. Time will tell if he going to be the messiah.

I want long balls, I want balls into the box, I want the goalkeeper to do balls upfield, I want the goalkeeper to play out from the back, I want attack, I want skilling, I want dribbling, I want defence. What I don't want us to play is the same style and tactics every game so the opposition know exactly how to play to beat us. Mix it up, keep the opposition guessing, play to nullify the opposition tactics. Variety is the spice of life.

Yes please, old fashioned wing play and cross the ball . This season has been so negative it’s unreal, possession for possession sake with no end product and I’ve lost count with the number of times we could have crossed the ball but played it back to our defence so the possession nonsense can start all over a game.

Jackett had a 50% win rate there, sadly Portsmouth fans still think they are a big club that should be walking, the league the truth is he did very well there considering they're a shadow of their former self.
Yes the football isn't going to be beautiful or the signings aren't going to be massive names (he signs players to suit his set up) but it's a results business and he gets results.

I was impressed with our new manager's comments about playing attacking, pressing football etc. He sounded as if he meant it. It's these sorts of remarks that will get me through the summer and persuade me to pay 55 nicker right away, without flinching, for a Pre-Match Knitted Jacket (Metal Grey).

If they're right then that wouldn't necessarily suit a purist like me but if we win - to hell with being a purist.😊 Couldn't give a hoot at a cows arse about about long balls and crosses raining into their box, I don't just want us to win, I wanna murder them, smash them into the ground larf at'em call them lots of bad names anything, just so long as we win. Kenny will not let me down, we're going up that's all that matters. Nige' and Kent, thank you so much. |

With 30 years experience in League football he knows how to win games . He will sign players who will be leaders on the pitch with passion something that we have truly missed over the last couple of years.Players who don’t have that desire will be sorted out quickly.A great signing for both club and fans.

If we are going to play with a big fella up front, perhaps DJ will be encouraged that he may get a few more chances than the thin scraps he had to live on last season. I am sure DJ will be asking the same questions before signing. |

Is it just me, or does anyone else not give a toss what Pompey fans think?

...sadly Portsmouth fans still think they are a big club that should be walking, the league ... If you think that, and as you've posted it I guess you must do, then it proves you know absolutely nothing about the club. The absolute vast majority of Pompey supporters know what we are and that's a L1 club in every way, but compared to the alternative we were presented with eight years ago we're more than happy to be at the level we're at, being able to watch a Pompey team that still exists play in the crumbling relic we call home.
The vast majority of Pompey supporters were also overjoyed to see the back of Jackett when the board finally sacked him in March, especially as it was a year overdue at the very least. I'm sure a leopard won't change his spots so prepare yourself for a tactically clueless, dispassionate robot to manage your club for however long he gets away with it. Be prepared for your players to have brief daily training sessions, have fitness routines left for the players to sort out (which will backfire after Christmas each season as their lack of stamina begins to show) and then sit back and watch the awful, route one football and any player that shows even a hint of class being bombed out. Oh, and defintely be ready for the jaw-dropping substitutions and hope and pray you never find yourselves 3-1 up at home to nine men before Kenny demonstrates a masterclass in changing the team around to pull a draw out of the hat.
Also be ready for the weird and wonderful signings - I'll grant you he signed Lowe, Curtis and McGillivray for us, but balance that out with Hawkins, Morris, Bolton, Downing, and some guy named Louis Dennis (the next big thing from the National League apparently) although I'm not sure what happened to him. There'll be players signed you'll never see grace the pitch and players you'll see but wish had never graced the pitch.
I've got to hold my hand up here and say I have a soft spot for the O's as I used to have family living in Preston Road back in the 70s, and spent time watching the occasional game in the days of Hepolette, Grealish and Laurie Cunningham, so when I read the news that Jackett had been appointed I really felt for you. For your sake I hope Pompey was the blip in his managerial career and he takes you on to bigger and better things, but I just don't see it. Christ, you've suffered enough over recent decades and deserve so much better.
In nearly fifty years of supporting Pompey I've seen some bad managers, and I mean some real shockers, but Jackett is the only one who made me give up my season ticket and take up gardening with the wife instead. He really is that bad.
