Leo and Ross were training yesterday, so can't be far off.

Tempered by the fact they lost to Derby who are now on same points as us. I hate Pompey getting anything but a draw last night would have been better for us.

Whoosh !!!!

I could be wrong but I don't think subs were allowed in World Cup Finals until Mexico 1970. Introduced in EFL in 1965.

Have you not heard of NHS Waiting Lists? Seriously though they always have to wait until the bruising/swelling has gone down. Suggests it is serious to my untrained eye. Personally not expecting him back for a few weeks, hope to be proven wrong.

Painer played against Mexico (2nd group game) which we won 2-0, but he was injured and that was the last of his 19 caps.

He was unlucky, but definitely a pen. There was no push and just think he caught the back of the ankle, probably didn't really need to get so close, but in the end it didn't matter.

Isn't Matsuki suspended?

Apart from last night he has actually. Like everyone else he seemed to be way off last night. The whole team and the performance stunk.

Other than the assist I thought he had seriously regressed since he first came back in when he did look sharp.

Think you need to rewind a few seconds, he tumbled over a couple of times following a coming together with their defender, got up and tried to run on but clearly felt something.

Slight concern that Jelert not on the bench. If Bree gets a yellow then is Jelert fit for the next 2 games, let alone what would happen if Bree were to be injured, guess we'd revert to the dreaded 3 at the back. Welington still not fit either presumably.

Bree is on 9 as well, apparently.

Since when is it the Quarter Finals? Will always be the 6th Round for me. 😉

Are you sure this is how it works? I think its up to and including the team's 37th game, not gameweek. I hope you're right obviously. Managing Downes and Bree for 2 games is a bit of a problem.

Both got booked against Doncaster so both will miss 6th round. Yellows are competition specific these days. 2 yellows for teams that entered in the 3rd round means a ban.

Beginning to wonder if there's a game today. And just as I posted the team news came out. Charles and Stephens missing.

5-0 home defeat to Chelmsford did it for Wotton

Who hasn't scored a goal since the beginning of December, 15 games in total.

Paul Wotton sacked at Torquay. Neil Warnock in temporary charge.

Remarkable that Leo has been involved to some extent in 8 out of our last 9 league goals. Goal and assist stats don't tell the whole story.

Bit like us then.

Stewart and Jander both missing altogether is a bit of a concern, Presser yesterday said no new concerns. Arguably Jander not so much of an issue, Charles and Bragg certainly capable with Downes and Romeo on the bench.

St Mary's is correct. The Club was originally formed as St Mary's Young Men's Association (YMA), which was an association connected to the Church "of St Mary" (hence St Mary's). So the Stadium name is a nod to our founders in 1885.

Why make changes, no one can be tired after 25 minutes of walking football at the end of last night's game. Slow walking at that. Only change I would make would be Charles for Jander, assuming Weli is still out.
