Massive game

Can we make it 3 wins on the bounce?

Think today was a bigger game actually.

Anyone know if Pompey were given extra tickets for the end of the sieve like last year? Assume they've sold out TBS

I wonder if they'll have such a following on a Tuesday night. Plus they are playing shite lately,maybe they wont fancy it.

Need us to remember they are a League Two team this year... not on a great run but I remember facing Ryan Taylor in a fairly big game a few years ago when he hadn't been able to score for toffee all season... Tubbs will also always be one to watch

Apparently Pompey have sold out their allocation and will be given the family stand with the family stand occupants in the sieve or carling stand.

That's the rub they bring in Tubbs and we sell a proven asset.

48 hours to the game and who is going to partner Doe cos it don't sound Ayo is happening.

Pretty sure they've won once away all season and that was back in August or something ridiculous like that...so if we lose on Tuesday then surely it has to come down to the fact that we can't face playing a "big team" like Pompey.

Our record over the last 2 seasons at home against teams with 600 away fans or more must be absolutely terrible...

Any news on Ayo?

When does the Loan window open again? Can't imagine the manager would have got to the point where Ayo may leave without another option? Even if Saah comes back in there is literally nothing on the bench with Partridge injured...

Must be soon. Would be great to keep him till May

It's probably too much to say him leaving will see us in big trouble... but I'm 110% certain we stay up, and comfortably if he stays until the season's end... Really can't see any other issues in terms of squad depth if we keep Abu at the back and Cousins is fit until May.

Not sure he will stay but then i was convinced in August that we had no chance of getting Cureton

Has Gayle gone or is he out on loan ? He can only improve and I felt he was blamed a bit unfairly for all the teams mistakes last time out.If we are writing people off because of one iffy game none of the team would play.

Yeah on loan at St. Albans, starting regularly, gives him more experience. Think he can be a good player for us in future.
