What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
There's always enough to talk about when Steve Bone pitches up at the Pompey Sound microphone, but today it seems extra very much the case. So Steve, welcome, and first of all, your thoughts on Watford.
Yes, hello. And Watford, where to start really? I mean, I think before the game and in the days leading up to the game, you know, if anyone had said, would you be happy with a point at Watford after getting three at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday? I think everybody, not everybody, but most people would have said yes, please. Point would do nicely. That would give us four points from two games.
What are Steve's initial thoughts on the Watford match?
That's a decent return, you know, look at our away form has been patchy so to get four points from two away games is great. You then come away with a point, that's exactly what we got and yet you've got this feeling of two points that got away because we go 1-0 up. 17 minutes to go of the 9T. Segacic again, great finish, he's proven his worth at the moment isn't he, in that position. And then the goalie gifts one back to Watford six minutes later. And actually at that point I was thinking this is going to be the sort of game we're going to lose 2-1, but luckily we didn't do that. I think we have tightened up a little bit at the back in these away games. So it's mixed feelings really, isn't it? As I say, you'd have taken a point beforehand, and we have got a point, and I think generally people were happy with the performance.
A lot of endeavour on show, solid at the back, bit of a threat going forward, and yet you're thinking, wouldn't it have been nice to get three?
What do you make of the Callum Lang controversy?
Well, yeah, I'm glad you've asked about that because it'll be interesting today to hear John Massino say he doesn't want him to go, he wouldn't want to lose him. We've had this rumour and talk of Preston lodging quite a significant bid for him this week. I don't think that's been absolutely confirmed by either club, as it wouldn't be really until it's resolved one way or the other. But I was surprised, and I did wade in with a few replies on X on Tuesday, I was surprised when the question was asked, Preston had made a bid, would you as a fan be happy to see him go? I was surprised that the majority of people who replied said yes and some people said yes he's never available he's always injured one even gave a two word don't worry it's not a rude two word reply but one person just said get rid and I just couldn't believe it this is a player who's played 53 games in just under two years scored 16 goals
Countless assists. One of our most dangerous players, one of our key players. I know he's not fit at the moment and he's missed a fair bit of this season. He's missed most of this season. But people are so quick to write players off, aren't they? When they're injured or when they're out of form. I was just surprised at that and I said no way would I accept a bid for Lang. I mean if he wanted to go that would be different but I don't think there's any evidence that he does. He seems quite happy here certainly judging from past interviews he's given. And yet some Pompey fans can't wait to get rid of him. You know what they say the same about Josh Murphy because he's missed a few games. They probably say the same about Colby Bishop.
They'll be saying the same now about Connor Shaughnessy because he's injured again. I just think sometimes you've just got to be patient with your best players and hold on to what you've got.
yes we used to call them misery guts when I was a boy and I noticed that almost all of them make these posts anonymously or at least they've got silly little catch strap lines you know mingy wongy doodah 666 I don't read them personally I understand why people do Mick Robertson has an almost weekly pop at them they're really getting under his skin because he sees it as doing the club harm
Yeah, is it doing the club harm? I don't think the club is all that bothered. I don't know, I suppose an individual player, if he's reading it, might be quite hurt by it, if he sees that sort of reaction to the prospect of him being sold by a club he's done well for.
