Pompey Talk is back as Jordan Cross and chief sports writer, Neil Allen, discuss another tumultuous week as Championship leaders Leeds were dismissed at a bearpit Fratton, before defeat followed to rock-bottom Plymouth. Plus we give you the inside track on all the other news from PO4.

00:00Yeah, yeah, he came. Yeah, he was very reasoned afterwards. He was saying Pompey aren't used to having possession at this level.
00:08They're a high-pressing team trying to win it back, aren't they?
00:12They're not used to, well, they used to under Paul Cook's team, Kenny Jacket's team to an extent last year where teams come to Threatened Park and, as you say, sit in.
00:20But this year, they're not used to that. Teams don't come to Threatened Park to sit in.
00:24And they didn't have a clue how to break them down, did they?
00:28Zach Swanson's second half had the ball on the right and every time passed it inside or behind.
00:34He didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to attack.
00:37At least Bramwell was trying to attack down the left.
00:40And they just couldn't find a way through, could they?
00:43Plymouth defended their box extremely well. Far too comfortably as well, didn't they, really?
00:50We go back to that 11-minute timeout. It's 2-1 against 10 men.
00:55Right, cracking finale.
00:57Atmosphere cracks up. It's brilliant.
01:00Pompey did nothing. They barely had a shot.
01:02John Massini was talking about afterwards about how they kept making silly fouls and giving Plymouth the chance to time waste.
01:09And he rightly pointed out Pompey would have done the same in the same position.
01:13You give opposition teams the chance.
01:17And we even saw them, I mean, this is getting worse and worse.
01:20The goalie, the Plymouth goalie, he sat down, didn't he?
01:23Literally, the tension. Sat down, he's not done anything, OK?
