    It hasn’t though? Home support has been with the players all season long.

    Overall yes the crowd are with the manager and players, has there been moments where the crowd have been frustrated that we're not going to break the deadlock? Yes. I think we're talking about two different things here.

    You said “the crowd start to get on the players backs a bit”

    As @TopCat. said, it hasn’t happened all season, why would it start today?

    Here's what I said:

    "which can be dangerous for us if we haven't broken them down by the 60th minute and the crowd start to get on the players backs a bit."

    This is a hypothetical scenario, what's the problem?

    This could be a big win, and we are going to a rare situation first 13 games unbeaten when did we last do that ?

    If we got a penalty (or 2) who would take it/them? Would it be Roberts? Would Dan Neil step in? Wilson maybe!

    Roberts should be nowhere near it after his last effort. Isidor imo

    Surprised it was Roberts taking the last one to be honest, he is known for his grass cutters. I wonder if Hume might be a good shout? Loves a net buster and is a fullback so there's some tradition there.

    Heavy rain at the minute but no snow, worse conditions than the Stoke game but the lads can handle it I reckon this is going to be a big win but Pompey will stay up

    Make sure you pull your socks up above the knee for more coverage, it's going to be a cold un.

    Hope we turn these buggers over, they have some weird made up rivalry with us. Looking at their forum you'd think they were all mags with their weird "we're much bigger than (insert team here)" mentally.
