Daniel Bielica

Looking at it, I think the Derby game and the Scum game are the only two games you can point the finger at Massino.

The Blackburn game was on Bielica, and then he got dropped.

So Massino's done the right thing with that.

I don't remember.

We're not quite familiar with them.

So it took me a while to get my head around Bielica, for example.

And there's Chivedu Agu, who's in the first team squad.

And we've got Michael Ami.

Yes, but there wasn't originally, was there? I- No ...

I actually saw a team sheet last night before the game that had Tyrese Shade on it, that, that- Wow ... a team sheet was produced which had one goalie, and it would've been Bielica rather than Killip, but, and it had Tyrese Shade.

And then the later team sheet, version two of the team sheet, had two goalkeepers among the subs, and it seems that, uh, Shade had, had a little fitness test in the morning.

At that point they were hoping he'd be okay, but eventually they decided against it.

He actually has the best save percentage in the division.

That's Daniel Bielica, uh, the new Pompey goalkeeper.

So yeah, new faces have sort of freshened things up.

I, yeah, I think that they're gonna, they're gonna try and make this ugly.

Mm.

And who, who would you play in the green jersey for this one? Because Bielica has been less than perfect with his feet, but superb at blocking shots, which of course should really be not the be all and end all of the-

Yeah

... keeper's remit, but it's-

...

he should be number one.

I think I'd stick with Bielica for now.

Uh, and I think, I, again, no inside info here, it's just a g- a gut feeling.

I don't think Nico did anything particularly wrong to change when he did.

Then with Bielica making the errors he did against Blackburn [clears throat], do you force that change again already? Like how often are we gonna be changing the goalkeepers? So it's more the-- and then you kind of push into midfield and we're still having the same issue that we had when we first came into the championship which is Marlon Pack is still starting in that midfield, in that number six role.

So the front end of the pitch is like a Ferrari and the back end of it is like having Derek Trotter's three-wheeler.

You-- Where are we? Like we've not recruited well mostly in that kind of that triangular of the center halves and, and that number six role if we've massively failed again despite knowing the injury records of the center halves, despite knowing that although Marlon Pack still has championship qualities, he- his body says no to playing so much football consistently for 46 games a season.
