Hmmm, I wonder if that was Nigel's 'mistake' or the press office? (I would imagine Nigel would tip off the latter about player availability before the match build up article goes up on the OS?)

Have just read the article and can't see where they say that Sharp may play tomorrow....?

It is (also)

I wonder why Adkins has decided to break his personal "never let the opponents know who's fit" rule for this tie?

In other words, Falque off?

So, 'Arry's defence summary to be heard in court today.... Any script writers out there care to pre-empt the likely prose...?

So, you'd swap a 'great idea' 99% of the time to cover 1% of the time that a keeper gets injured? (I made those percentages up but probably not far from reality). I won't be convinced that it's a bad idea to not have a keeper on the bench until someone (MLG?) can throw up the statistics and/or mathematic probability that it affects results adversely (on average, over the course of a season)

I think NAMG or Asturius got in there before us...

Crikey - sounds horrendous. I don't think I'll ever moan again about getting caught in traffic for a few minutes on the M3 near Winchester on the way to a home game after reading about your travel woes!

Sounds quite scary when put like that!

c. 4 hour round trip to London every week day. Been doing that for nearly 26 years now.

My gut feel is not to have a goalie on the bench as my hunch is that you're more likely (over the course of a season) to get an improved result by having an extra outfield player on the bench than you are to get a worse result by not having a spare keeper to bring on. That said, I've no idea if the statistics and mathematical probablities back-up my hunch, or shoot it down in flames.

Ah....in the words of James May...."Cock"

Shouldn't the kit man's son be helping his old man wash the kits rather than attending Portsmouth Football Club board meetings? That said, I guess the kit doesn't need washing after this weekend's convenient postponement....

1/2: @pn_neil_allen: RT @pfcespana: @pn_neil_allen strangely not his fault that he deposited funds exactly 33 secs before accounts frozen. Damn bad luck he told Prince Wills

@pn_neil_allen: So Chainrai claims in the South China Morning Post he and Kushnir have covered January's wages. Why have staff yet to be paid then? #Pompey

Close the thread. They're safe. Damnation

The following starting 11 please Mr Adkins: Bart Shaw Jaidi Fonte Richardson Lallana Lee Hammond Cork Sharp Lambert

AA has as many liquidations on his books as he does administrations. A man of many talents it would seem....

"Damned if we do, damned if we don't"...

Cheers. There definitely seems to a 'fait acomplis' tone to the Pompey bloggers' articles recently

@joshooiveld20: Best result possible! Great saves from our goalie SKD! Better pitch would have resulted in more points.
