Ian Darke - Manager and recruitment dept at Pompey need to explain how summer signing Downing can’t get a game when whole defence is unavailable. Decided to weaken midfield and defence by moving Naylor back. Day to forget.

Chris Overthrow - No excuses for this. Players have not been playing with even half the effort of Accrington. Changes may have had an impact and makeshift defence isn't helpful but that's no excuse for this scoreline.

John Tucker - Why disrupt midfield and play Naylor at the back when he has Downing? Even if Downing is shot of confidence has to better. Also now what has that done to Downing?

Portsmouth's finest - Pompey handing out early Christmas presents, hardly surprising though, two cdms that offer no cover what so ever, we move on.

Rob Morris - Can we discuss Brexit instead?
