Chapter 1: What are the latest updates on Pompey news?
The latest Pompey news, updates every day from the Pompey Sound Newsdesk. Obviously, sickened with the result, I think the way that the game panned out towards the last 15-20 minutes. We looked at that point in the game like we could try and make the subs and freshen things up. and really hit them on the counter-attack and for large parts of the game I thought we did that really well.
Not just doing that as well, I thought we had some really good composed possession but I thought final third we just didn't create enough. I thought we had some really good opportunities, we didn't create enough and there was just one moment in the game. I don't think there was anything else in the game. That's where it went wrong in terms of the result.
Chapter 2: Why is the manager feeling sickened by the recent result?
I also think we just need to be a lot better when we break and a lot better in the final third. I thought we defended well. contain Swansea for large parts of the game. We had quite a bit of composed possession as well, but yeah, just ultimately just didn't have that killer instinct when we got into the final third and we got balls in the box or we had the opportunity to get shots off.
Yeah, it feels like a real kick in the teeth after such an amount of hard work, I think, from everyone to come here and execute the game plan and really try and put Swansea under a bit of pressure, which I thought we did. We did really well for the majority of the game. So, yeah, it feels like an extra blow.
Chapter 3: What changes did the manager consider making during the game?
I don't think we needed a reaction to anything. I thought the longer we stayed in the game, the better. We just needed to have a little bit more belief and a little bit more confidence when we broke from those deep areas and players at the top end of the pitch maybe giving us a little bit more. I thought that was the big difference.
Obviously, the run of results isn't helping, but I still expect our players to have a little bit more. There's plenty of reasons, I think. If we look back at the goal, we just look back at the goal and there we do things wrong in terms of the press at the top end of the pitch. I think we get it wrong with the substitutions that come on and get it wrong.
I'd given the information across and obviously it didn't land.
Chapter 4: How did Pompey perform in the final third of the match?
That's my responsibility. In terms of what we do for the rest of the game, we just need to be a lot better in terms of making sure that we try and create more chances. Reading between the lines, I think John Massino is kind of saying what I think everyone who saw the game, either were there or on a screen, agrees, which is that 0-0 was the fair result.
And we should have been travelling back home with a point, a really valuable point, a solid point, a point well earned. There was just that one moment. And he says that it's down to not pressing properly at the top end. But it resulted in a player having an opportunity to hit one. And how many times out of 10 would he manage to strike the top corner in the way that he did? No offence to the guy.
We know him well. But one out of 10 at most. And there he was in all that wind and weather. And he did it. Squeaky bum time has arrived at football news agency The Football League World. They say this. After staying up relatively comfortably last season, Pompey are in for a much tougher scrap to keep their championship status this time around.
The South Coast side has only managed to win four of their first 19 matches, and just two of those victories have come since August. While other teams that started poorly, like Southampton and Sheffield United, have started to find their form, Portsmouth has been sliding down the table and into the relegation zone.
A huge part of their survival last season was turning Fratton Park into a fortress. Pompey picked up points in 18 of their 23 home games, and their 11 wins there were crucial. That home advantage has completely vanished this season, which is a worrying sign.
Messina's side has won just three of their first 10 games at home and have already lost five times, the same number of defeats they suffered at Fratton Park through all of last season. With points so hard to come by the recent match against Swansea City felt like a massive opportunity.

Chapter 5: What was the turning point in the game against Swansea City?
Like Pompey the Swans have been struggling badly, so much so that they sacked their boss, Alan Sheehan, and brought in Vitor Matos. It looked like the perfect chance for Portsmouth to get a result against a team still adjusting to a new manager, it was a tight contest, with not much separating the two sides.
But with just 12 minutes left, Liam Cullen's goal proved to be the difference, snatching all three points for Swansea and pulling them further from danger. The result left manager John Massigno gutted, he opened up about his frustration to the club's media team after the match. Sickened with the result, Massigno said.

At Pompey Sound, we're disconcerted by the fact that so many so-called experts and professional commentators, if that's what they are, are reminding us that Pompey avoided relegation comfortably last season. No, we didn't. And are also suggesting that we are in worse shape than we were this time last season. We're not. At the moment, we played 19, we got 17 points.
At this time last season, we played 20 and we got 17 points. End of. Mick Robertson is ruminating on the Swansea game. I so easily get knocked down. Chumbawamba. Last century, you will remember tub thumping. I so easily get knocked down. So I can rise again. And John Monsignor's six changes after Bristol City got me up, got me interested. And 11 minutes at the Valley... made me hopeful.
And to be fair, the first half at the Vetch, which is now the swansea.com stadium, oh dear, the first half at the old Vetch, well, the swansea.com stadium, the first half, I retained some hope that we'd get something from a very ordinary game.
Devlin and Swanson both got skinned in the first few minutes I noticed by the respective wingers but they turned in aggressive performances of some merit in the end and Matthews and Bullock were imperfect but they did okay or perhaps a little bit better than that to be fair when you consider the number of first team games they've played and and that they are a new pairing.
So the ever-reliable Schmidt and the back four did okay. Pack and Swift lacked power and mobility to be able to exert pressure and momentum consistently into our side. Min Hyuk had one of his just-out-of-the-academy, brushed-off-the-ball sort of games. Chaplin looked as if he would if Ipswich were happy to have sent him away on loan. If you see what I mean.
Lange is in some sort of nine role now and it's not him back to his best after a long layoff and perhaps he won't get back to his best with so little Help around him. And then there's Murphy. Our Josh Murphy.
