Forget the Cowleys - it's the Portsmouth players who need to shoulder blame

@Michael_Eisner

Still in the playoff race. Need to finish strong. Play up #Pompey.

@brumborn

Cowleys are right fit for Pompey but they need the tools to do the job, namely some quality players. The current squad needs a clear out simply not good enough. Stick with us Michael.

@Pompeytucks

Michael the Cowleys have now seen what these players are generally like. Very average with weak mentality. They can all go as far as I am concerned except the Keeper and Johnson

@danieledmunds4

Fans want cowleys to stay and that’s after a defeat!!!! Very few of the players deserve to wear the shirt let the cowleys build a squad of players that want and roll on the first Danny and nicks blue and white army!!!!! #pompey

For now Michael, for now. Sadly the change came too late and now the Cowleys are expected to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. If you can retain the services of the Cowleys for next season, I believe we’ll have our best chance of going up in them.

@dmadscaff

Yet again another season passes bye, yet again another lot of youth players gets released, yet another player of the season gets released for free3,yet again we start again, time to get a grip, #brickbybrick

@surreypomp

Even if we limp into the playoffs we will limp out pretty quickly. Thing is nothing much will change next season. Club is just drifting under mick and Eric

@PompeyPedro

What else is there to say other than that Kenny Jackett built a squad of abject mediocrity. The board allowed his outdated methods and signings for too long and its why we are where we are. Summer rebuild crucial. Probably 3 I’d keep.

@PompeyViking62

#Pompey had all the attacking scenarios one could dream of to get 3 points early, but a combination of poorly-timed runs, decision-making, & control cost them every time. Setup was fine, but individual errors and inefficiency have handed the day to MK. 5 points dropped from 6.

@TeggartEoin

What a 3 years its been...Would like to thank everyone at @Pompey the great memories, friends and family ive made. It's been an unreal experience and one i'll never forget. I would also like to thank @GosportBFC and @cliftonvillefc for taking me on loan gaining senior experience

@G_Storey2021

Just want to say big thank you to @Pompey and everyone that’s helped me over the last 2 years, it’s been an amazing experience. I come away with new memories, friends, family that will last a lifetime. As one door closes another one opens #PUP
