@TonyHusbandBBC: #pompey "keep the faith and we will survive." Trevor Birch thanks fans for support at FP yesterday. Seems he was bowled over by atmosphere.

HTH? Yes, lots. Many thanks.

@bigadamsport: Greg Clark's excuse today for failure of fit & proper test was effectively a lack of resources - not good enough!! @football_league #pompey @bigadamsport: Clark said @football_league always answer questions etc - that's rubbish. @solentsport have requested interviews - repeatedly turned down @bigadamsport: We've had #pompey #saintsfc #afcb & Weymouth FC all in admin - thousands affected and @football_league still fail to own up to failings

@solentsport: Audioboo: #football league chairman Greg Clark defends league's position over #pompey http://t.co/2gvzoBcJ

If a Tory MP had assaulted a Labour MP we'd have had a thread about it by now... ...along with the obligatory link to a Guardian article... ...probably. ;-)

The more Saints fans that are unimpressed by him initially the better IMO. Gives more pleasure later when he proves people wrong. :-)

Maybe Adkins was being proactive rather than reactive. If the state of the playing surface was causing Lallana some problems due to his natural style of play (twists and turns etc, then Adkins may have simply pulled him off to stop the likelihood of a more serious injury. Yes, you can argue that the state of the pitch was known before the game started but sometimes a manager is damned if he does, damned If he doesn't.

Maybe include useful info like this in the opening post then...? :-)

Were you able to eavesdrop on anything he said during the game?

Jaidi posted on Twitter that the injury to Lallana is minor (confirmed by THEVMAN) and that Rickie isn't injured at all. Edit: but this just posted: @jordansibley: Adkins confirms knocks to Lallana (groin) and Lambert (ankle) post match - too early to say if serious. #saintsfc

@pn_neil_allen: Fans singing 'Super #Pompey are staying up'. Game ended 20 minutes ago and they haven't drawn for breath! Incredible!! http://t.co/wXhRor9c
