Had the second lowest player rating in the starting line up, yet he created Scienza's goal by controlling Bree's very high crossfield clearance with one touch and laying on an inch perfect pass for Scienza's goal.

He was also the man who put Armstrong through for the one and one on the keeper..

So that surely deserves a better rating, likewise Adam Armstrong, lower than Azaz he had two major chances both well saved yet polls lower than Matsuki.

Leo Scienza has 5 goals and 4 assists, his conversion rate is 9% per shot
.

Adam Armstrong has a conversion rate of 13%

Different positions yes and Armstrong gets more chances in a game, but he is a better finisher than Scienza

I agree, he kept us in mid table when he had absolutely no funding due to Gao not being able to get money out of China.

Had he been given a striker at the start of the season then we would have stayed up

5 Things About The Trip To Pompey
at 11:38 26 Jan 2026

1. It caused much mirth before the game, when one fella was soaked down his back because he had taped a Capri Sun pouch full of Whiskey to his back and he had leant on it and it had burst

2. Didnt seem that much in the way of catering at St Mary's the Dell bar was open, but ir was far from full at 8am

3. I'm not sure that safe standing areas are that safe, when we scored there were people standing on the seats on the bars and flying down the rows

4. The atmosphere wasn't that great, I think they are first and foremost haters of Southampton than supporters of Portsmouth fc

5. As above they dont make much noise for a stadium packed with 50,000 home fans

Im surprised at the stick that Armstrong is getting here, he had two chances, the first one was not the greatest finish, but it was low and hard and the keeper did well, not every chance in this position goes in.

The second saw him come through a crowd of players and hit it well.

Leo finished clinically, but he has missed similar chances to Armstrong's first chance in other games.

If things had been reversed and Scienza missed the early chance and Armstrong scored the opening goal, I don't think anyone would be nit picking about Scienza

Due to having to get up at 6.30 am to leave home at 7am, to check in at 7,30am for a coach that leaves at 8.30 am and arrives at Portsmouth at 9.15 am I need to put up this thread now.

Baz out injured

I dont think Saints will take him back to pay his wages for the rest of the season, he was injured whilst in Stoke's pay, why should we pay around £1.5 million in wages

Parsons
at 09:17 21 Jan 2026

You are right, on the operational side of things we have done some good things.

Parsons has tried to not only generate income but get the fans engage with the club and get people using St Mary's 7 days a week.

The Fanzone - as you say, there are thousands of people mingling around St Mary's 3 hours before kick off in 4 different fanzones if you include the away one.

The Dell bar is in use not only before and after games, but during the week and although i have not been in level 1 it again gets kids engaged with the club

In truth fanzones are not our invention, we were fairly late to the party, but they cater for a section of the fanbase and have some decent offers, they sell their Premium Lager at 4 pints for £22 with discount for season ticket holders meaning you can pay less than a fiver a pint, compare that for what you are paying for the same beer in the chain pubs at £6 plus.

But all of them were fairly cheap to build and generate revenue, those that say that they would rather give their money to local pubs/businesses, should consider for instance just how many pubs are not actually local businesses, but part of chains and big companies, virtually all of the ones from London Road to the Royal Pier are owned by the big pub companies such as Wetherspoons/Yates etc, likewise the fast food chains and restaurants.

I was never a fan of moving the away end and it still has issues as in they can't split it into sections when the away club don't take a full allocation, so that home fans can use it.

But the only real issue is that those that the Northam end havent got anyone to bounce off, but why should that be a problem, most of the clubs who are known for their atmosphere, have their "singing" section at the far end from the away fans, Liverpool, Everton, Forest, Man Utd, Sunderland, Palace, all clubs who don't rely on sitting next to the away fans to generate their enthusiasm and dare I say it Portsmouth.

So the issue isn't moving the away end, it is our own ability to get things going.

Weather forecast is 7 degrees Sunday morning and dry, 20% possibility of rain at midday, but we will be in the ground then so it should be ok on Sunday.
