14:56

Comment From andy

Jordan what are your thought's on Knight leaving his role as GK coach, despite the report in the paper it still seems as though there is a hidden story somewhere, Do you believe the rumours of an argument with Sullivan?

14:57

Jordan:

No, there was no argument with Sullivan. I've spoken to both Knightsy and John

14:57

Jordan:

Knightsy has been incredibly decent in the way he's dealt with it. I do think he's been made something of a scapegoat though

14:57

Jordan:

Anyway, the players are out

14:58

Jordan:

Time to focus on the football folks

14:58

Comment From bert

14:59

Comment From Skating on thin ice

Why does the scoreboard show us in pink and also have space for you to log your tea breaks?

14:59

Jordan:

It's a new one with the software we're using. I'm not a fan.

15:00

Comment From playuppompeyfanjake

Ertl... Again... What is he doing to warrant a starting place?

15:00

Comment From pompeyboy pouzols.fr

Comment From Young Journalist Joe

Although out of form, we have to remember the Ertl is capable and also loyal - he could have gone last season, but he didn't and we have to remember that. We need to be loyal back to him and he will turn back into the player that he was a couple of months or so back. Rant over, PUP
