Our goal scoring ratio has gone up since he left. We are also closer to the automatic positions now.

Thank you and so pleased for you!!! Good luck in the run in, and if you overhaul Barnsley because I don't think my beloved Pompey will, then you will have achieved promotion the nerve-wracking way, or in 800m terminolgy, come with a storming finish in the last 100m from way back. OK it is 6 points!!!

So, the League 1 playoff final is at Wembley? - if the table remains the same as it is now, we're looking at a rematch. Won't that be somethin'.

65% possession in the first half. Honeyman is actually a good player when he runs. We should pitch in and buy him a treadmill. He went back to jogging in the second half and effectively disappeared.

Is O9 a championship fullback, a championship midfielder? Thought he did great until Curtis went off, not so sure about afterwards. He seemed uninterested in shifting towards the widest threat when his side was overloaded.

The commentator said Hume was the fastest player at the club, faster than Watmore, that's pretty fast. A weapon for sure. But James has been pretty solid, tough choice that one.

You're looking at Charlton then but I think you;ll reel Pompey in. so it is either 2nd or Donny!!

I'm not sure we'll do it fella. 6 points behind with a worse goal difference and 3 games in hand. I think I'd just about rather be in Barnsleys position. Our managers defensive approach which he repeated today by trying to sit on a lead and even replacing our sole striker with a midfielder is the reason I suspect we will fall short.

I wonder if @Gil T Azell left early to catch his train?

No I stayed till the death and left slightly disappointed.

On the train back home now. Disappointed with the result, but it was a great day out with both sets of fans a credit to their clubs and a record crowd to boot.

Thanks again to @Smug in Boots. It was good to meet you and Bri. Safe journey home lads

His subs were forced due to injury. I get that, even though a straight swap for Wyke would have been more logical, he did plan to bring Wyke on.

My main question to Ross is why play Grig at all if he is carrying an injury and hasn't been training all week. He wasn't going to be on form of that's the case.. Plus As much as winning the trophy would have been great, getting Grig back to full fitness for the league run in has to be the priority. Wyke could have started and kimpoika could have been on the bench.

Been to Wembley twice. Penalties ****ing twice.

Great weekend though!

 

[The Little General]

Clock set awaiting the Cattermole bashers

He played well, got leggy last 15 mins, would have had Power on earlier, not taking the p ss Marcus, Ross was out done by Jackett , we are a one trick pony. MCGeady or struggle.

 

[Sharpe*]

Wasn't to be gents. Commiserations.

It was unbelievable game!

Not sure I’d say out done. We massively outplayed them first half and they did the same to us second. Extra time was Fairly even. They kicked McGeady out if the game second half. How their no 11 wasn’t red carded for that challenge is beyond me. Ref saw it and must’ve felt sorry for him cis it was Wembley. Ref the game not the occasion!!
