  1. But if we win two in the play-offs we will not get promoted because we will have lost in the final.
  2. I wouldn't have replied if you hadn't said it - "but also a lot of time to specifically prepare for how we play"
  3. Boro had 9 players on international duty so there is no logic that they can prepare better than us.
  4. Yeh, I sort of guessed that's what it meant. But what a meaningless award. Look forward to selling him for megabucks in the future based on the award. Perhps they could have called it "Player of the Tournament" or perhaps that would be too simple these days.
  5. Good to see SAA was awarded MVP. What the hell it means I have no idea, but assume it's good.
  6. A Hornby Doublo sinks Saints.
  7. Would have to beat WBA or Hull (or Coventry or Norwich first).
  8. Think you're struggling with your own argument 🤣
  9. Very sad, wonderful to read about his heroics, not something I was really aware of previously. Is it too much to ask what name he posted on here as, maybe obvious to some.
  10. It is interesting to see Man City u21 in 24th place, considering they have won PL2 for the past 3 seasons (if the information I have read is correct). They have been the most successful club at this level for some time, what has happened to them? Perhaps it has something to do with them selling or loaning so many young players to us, or perhaps the departure of Jason Wilcox. Not sure I'm surprised at any of the other Bottom 6 dwellers, Newcastle have been notorious for years at youth level, and clearly the dirty Saudi money has not yet filtered through. Everton and Derby are recently at least basket case clubs.
  11. They would have played as Guests during the War, but by the time the Football League resumed in 1946 the players would have all been registered with Pompey, not as Guests. Some of the players were indeed recruited from the Navy though.
  12. So how come we won every League game that followed an FA Cup game this season?
  13. Didn't we? How do you know that we wouldn't have won more than we did, or scored more goals if Stephens had been available. You don't, nor do I. But there were a lot of people on here moaning (unrealistically imho) that we drew too many during the 25 game run. Having Stephens as an option during the run may well have helped, we will never know, but having to rely on two CBs and with only Holgate as backup was a big risk, fortunately we got through it.
  14. BC wasn't after a cup game, it was after the Huddersfield debacle. 4 changes, 2 for injury was not really that radical after that display, especially considering that 2 changes were to bring in attacking players who had dug us out of that hole as substitutes. If Martin hadn't changed the team after the Huddersfield display there would have been hell to pay.
