Re: Getting hairy: Portsmuff at home 13/4/24 3pm KO

Bollocks, Derby leading 2-0.

Lovely bit of play resulting in about 6 shots. All blocked. That's the difference at the minute, when we've attacked they've had bodies back, blocking shots. When they've attacked, they've caught us on the break.

Wonder if they’ll be getting the special Pompey Penalty too.
They've had twice as many penalties as we've had this season. That would've made quite an impact on the season.

Their 49 needs to calm down, the tit. Also that’s a red
Only when Thomason does it earlier in the season apparently.


That's two questionable offsides against Collins now.

Fortune favours the ... opposition sadly.

Re: Getting hairy: Portsmuff at home 13/4/24 3pm KO

Apparently we're 1 down. Don't know how as they're too busy showing a fecking replay. Nat getting left for dead by a short ball by Sheehan. Kamara causing us issues. Will Ian sort it? Ah the old ifollow decision making of showing replays of offsides whilst attacks are underway. Crazy stuff. Well, t...

Re: Getting hairy: Portsmuff at home 13/4/24 3pm KO

Well, that's twice he's done Ogbeta.

Don't get the impression that Ogbeta is dirty or petulant enough to nullify that level of pace and trickery from their right winger.

Plenty of time left.

Re: Getting hairy: Portsmuff at home 13/4/24 3pm KO

Well Jones comes back into the starting line up. I'm a little surprised by this but its clear that Evatt believes Jones can be relied upon to offer exactly what he requires.

Anyone reckon it'll be a "what were we so nervous about" game? No? me neither.
I've gone through thoughts about that exact scenario and come to the belief that i'd be a little crazy to be thinking that.

They're a win away from taking the title. They're going to want to win it as much as we are.

Re: Five Year EFL Deal: Death of the 3pm?

As ever, money, investors, betting and corporations rule the game. Football actually has little to do with any of it. Might as well just flip a coin . Results, not performance or entertainment are the priority....How many of the EFL committee actually own a season ticket to any club, or go to any f...

Re: Getting hairy: Portsmuff at home 13/4/24 3pm KO

Dream big, a Derby and Peterborough loss today and two wins for Bolton would give us the chance to get automatic promotion at home on our final home game of the season. Dreaming bigger, Portsmouth losing all their games would mean we'd have the chance to win the title on the final day of the season....

Re: Five Year EFL Deal: Death of the 3pm?

The business model is shifting towards being able to watch games online. They should probably embrace it, rather than fight it. I think it's difficult for lower league clubs to attract new supporters through an online streaming model. Of course, but its a damn site easier if they have the ability t...

Re: Getting hairy: Portsmuff at home 13/4/24 3pm KO

You'd have to imagine that would be the case with Dion on the bench. Certainly think that JDB and Collins combo has been well worth it so it would be a shame to disrupt that. Earlier in the season it seemed like JDB hadn't justified his contract extension but I thought that was down to lack of game ...

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign

They have 4 chances to do that though. They can play and be relatively relaxed. Will they match our intensity if we get into them early? Could work either way. The most points any other team can get is 93. Should we win that'll still mean they need to get 4 points to mathematically win the league. ...

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign

Orient are still in with a (very) outside chance of playoffs. Totally out of their hands, like, but I can see them being well up for their match vs Derby. Course, we've got the hardest match of the weekend, against a Pompey side for whom victory could seal the whole damn season. But we've no need t...

Promotion back in our own hands. Need to keep winning to get promotion, which makes things slightly easier to think about rather than worrying about results elsewhere. Do the business and get promoted, its as simple as that. The games we've got are not going to be the easiest, but at least we've got...

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign

Going into the playoffs in really good form is crucial. In which case Lincoln are clear favourites. If I have done the sums right they have 35 points out of the last 39 And scored 33 goals in that time Their last league match is home against Pompey. Lets hope Pompey still have something to play for...
