Absolutely, and I am a big fan of the play offs despite our loss to Burnley all those years ago. It wouldn't soften the blow of my worst case scenario though.At least there is now the insurance policy of the play-offs for failing to win promotion and a bonus promotion opportunity. For 80 years in the FL, 3rd place (2nd in Div III N/S) was no more than a "hard luck, try again next year."
We are 23 games in. Have a fantastic points total.
Like many have told me you can’t play well every week. But the disjointed nature of the team performances says to me something isn’t quite right.
If you watch Ipswich they have frailties. Yet what they do well is keep possession and that away from home might be the telling factor between us and them.
Sheffield Wednesday aren’t as good on the eye but they are a machine. Very well organised.
And they both have a weapon we don’t have in January. Ridiculous amounts of money to spend in the January transfer window.
We are a good side. We have a manager who is prepared to be flexible in his approach to games. I just think the engine room of this side is currently where we might falter unless we get one or two players in.
Last night, we panicked towards the end of the game and just lack a little calmness. When teams press us at the moment, it is a concern.
We now have a run of very hard away games. We will see if we are the best team in the league by the way we play in these games.
Yes the super computer that exists only in Yorkshire!Something tells me that Barnsley will finish above Ipswich.
Who says we need ridiculous amounts of money in the Jan window?? I think we have smarter recruitment than both Ipswich and Sheff Wed. It’s not all about money.
Cowley brothers must be packing there bags today.There's a Twitter video showing the reaction of the Pompous fans after the final whistle today against Charlton.
All the timeless classics are there - "You're not fit to wear the shirt", "that was embarrassing", "booo" and the new hit "we want Cowley out". 😄
It's a whole other level of hilarity. Bless 'em.Read the Pompey forum A) It's very funny reading the fan's reaction and B) By God, it shows how good Pasoti is.
This I thought was creative "We last won in the league 3 prime ministers ago."Here's an extract from one of today's contributors on TrueBlueArmy ... (talking about the style of footbal Pompous are playing) ...
