So we, A LEAGUE ONE TEAM, lose £18M of talent from the pitch due to injury, and then people moan we don't have a deep enough squad when we can't replace them? Bloody Hell, just those two players are valued ten times as much as some entire squads in this division. Not having better players affects EVERY team, just look at Man Utd against us for your first example. Yes last nights result was disappointing, gutting even, but with our games in hand we can still get to 2nd. That point means we're now above Peterborough, that'll hit them pretty hard, especially as we have a game in hand still, we can match their results, have a slip up, and still finish above them. Huddersfield we're in an even better position against. So that's 13 points from the last 15. We may have lost Lallana and Chamberlain to injury, but we now have ten days for either them to recover, or for Adkins to work out how we play without them to give ourselves the best chance. It might end up not being pretty but I don't care if we still manage to pick up points. My confidence in this team has come right back up over the last couple of weeks, we might not be 'playing well' as some on here keep moaning, and it might not be the prettiest football, but the stats are always saying that Kelvin has very few saves to make compared to his opposite number, so our tactics are obviously working. We're giving ourselves a good chance to win, the nature of chance is such that you don't always take those chances, but we'll be set up all over again next game, with a good chance of winning, and I'm confident we'll do a better job of trying to take that chance.

Not the end of the world, would have been pretty happy with a point back when this was first going to be played, and everything still under our control.

Phook.

Think it was in on SSN. But that officials were right not to give it as there's no way they could have known for certain it was in, needed technology to know for sure.

So the last time we won at Charlton was a year we got promoted? Come on! Well up for this game now...

Win tomorrow, and be two points ahead of Posh with a game in hand, and CMS might start to make a few more noises about leaving...

Great result.

There's always the chance the speculation and interest will cause him to not be completely in the game tonight... would be handy if he doesn't play to his best, we could do with posh dropping points.

And the title be changed.

Results do tend to go our way when we're not playing...

Deppo, come on. Normally you know just about where the line is, and that in itself annoys some people, but here you've crossed it.

Nice to see him put a goal past David James there ^^

With regards to Adkins, I personally feel it's worth remembering he's still young in management terms. I reckon we've seen him improve a fair bit as a manager just in the time he's been here, and we could have a really good one there... Thomas, with respect to the fact you probably don't want to reveal who your source is, how confident are you in them? Have they had good info before?

It'll be funny if we both go up to see Bournemouth trying to make out they're bigger rivals to Portsmouth than we are...

But if you manage to get through today you know you can get through any day!

Handy that we've gone in level. We usually do better second half...

So basically... Saints are a company that they've heard of that uses Twitter?

So... One last chance being taken to rib us about being below Bournemouth then?

"We're all standing on a future block of flats" Arsenal supporters at Fratton Park... most I'd laughed in ages

Well you can't accuse this England team of playing boring cricket... I'm not sure I can take watching this England team AND Saints promotion race...

Highlights are up. http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/z8mp9/?t=44m26s

Whew. Thought we'd thrown it away after they equalized but we responded brilliantly and played some of our best football of the season after our second and third goals. Not a bad set of results for us elsewhere either, if we beat Bournemouth we only need one win out of three games in hand to go second.

36 is no age at all RIP
