Sat 9 March fixtures

Our biggest away win since we recorded the same score line at Cambridge United in September 2021.
We did it twice in the 91/92 season

It's because you constantly belittle us as though you are Real Madrid. You're a proper fucking weapon.

what do u mean I'm a proper weapon? Are you telling me I carry a proper weapon? Well yea I have been blessed but it is an odd thing to say chummy

I don't think I've ever mentioned that I think we are a huge club. Its your inferiority complex.

I agree the Jordan Rhodes red looked very harsh. It's one of those moments when nobody in the ground even expects a red until the ref reveals it like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat.

Blackpool were on top at the time. After that they were well organised defensively and we couldn't break through, despite hitting the woodwork three times. Would have taken a point beforehand though so there you are. Not much harm done after Barnsley's melt down and Bolton's dropped points.

It really dawned on me yesterday just how much Mousinho has had to change our style of play due to our crazy injury situation. For details, see this article from 8th Feb https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/...e-odds-in-league-one-promotion-battle-4510386 Since then we've also now lost Ogilvie, Lowery and more than likely Lang and Sparkes after today. All our ball-retaining midfielders other than Pack have disappeared so it's noticeable how we struggle to control the midfield like we were first half of the season.

So it's no surprise really that we're not impressing our opponents. However, it is surprising that Mousinho is still getting good results.

2 of our players butchered by Blackpool. I thought the sending off was a strange one even thou the Blackpool player never complained. The tackle on Lang should have been a straight red thou.
It'll be a miracle if we get auto promoted with all the injuries we have. I've never known so many injuries in a season. It makes you wonder if our training and facilities are at fault

Not facilities based at all. Poole, Pack Mcintyre, Lang, Ogivile, Morrell, Devlin, Lowery, Anjorin and Bishops all happened during games. Pack, Lang, Mcintyre, Devlin all from tackles. Pack and Lang both red card worthy challenges. Yengi was fallen on in training. Hardly any of our injuries have been muscular. Robertson and Anjorin were pulled hamstrings

What are you saying, Its bad luck?

How do you know all of that detail?

Probably because he actually attends games, and doesn't sit in his Mum's spare room eating crayons.

Its a bit of bad luck. What can you do in training that would stop Poole getting shoved over by Will Grigg and him landing awkwardly? McIntyre winning the ball and the Northampton player's follow through broke his ankle. Charlie Wyke smashing Pack's ankle, getting sent off, or Noborn from Blackpool's red card worthy challenge on Lang. There are some conditioning ones, ie.. Tom Lowery, Alex Robertson and Tino Anjorin as there are all issues with the players body. Michael Owen tore his hammy at Liverpool, you can't say Liverpool didn't have the best medical staff, or training facilties. Under Cowley there was definately a rush to get players back too early which definately didnt' help last season.

Fair play, beaten by the better side. Derby by far the best team we've played this season - quality all over the pitch.

Weird game though, Derby kept us in our own half the first 45 mins but we went in 0-0 after keeping them pretty much at bay. 2nd half we actually looked better but that played beautifully into Derby's hands as the more we attacked, the better they looked going forward.

We made it far too easy for them though, gave them too much time and space.

We deserved nothing but there was a clear pen for handball when Gayle put his hand up to stop Finleys shot
