No matter what the doom mongers say, top half finish + trophy = successful season, and we are on track to achieving that.

Les Reed OUT!

I look forward to the chants from the Fratton End: "Sky Bet League Two Goal of the Weekend, you've never won that"

:lol:

Just had a read back through the match thread. There are some classic posts in there

We need to improve away from home, that's for certain. Hopefully we will play like we did at Arsenal rather than how we did at Palace.

Liverpool losing at home to West Ham!

Only 4 points off 6th place The real test will be the two away games, we've got to win at least one of them. "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, jingle all the away Oh what fun it is to see Southampton win away"

First half was terrible Second half was much improved, and we were in complete control. A shame we didn't get that second goal, although it would help if Rodriguez didn't miss an open goal...

It's obviously not random. Cedric and Bertrand played on Thursday and will play on Wednesday. So will Long and Redmond I imagine.

I'd rather Martina played this one than at Stoke tbh Big game needed for JRod.

First 15 minutes I really hope we go for it and try and get an early lead. Middlesbrough will come here and play for a point, especially with key players out injured

The players will be coming onto the pitch to this from now on. Joy.

Apparently Gaston didn't even travel down here with the rest of the squad. Seems that our old friend David Nugent might play.

Now there's no European football, then yes. But with it being the Christmas period and there being lots of games, rotation will be the best way to go.

Martina shouldn't be anywhere near the first team. Shame Pied got injured really. Clasie coming back will be a good thing, he had a good game at Arsenal. Tadic and Boufal will be big bonuses too. The key will be scoring early on. If we do that, we will win easily. The longer it's 0-0, the more likely it is we'll get frustrated and they'll score on the break with their first shot on goal.

Long has to step up to the plate. No excuses now.

A brilliant, sensational victory as the blue army invaded Cleethorpes in their millions and roared on the best team on the south coast to victory as they go back to joint top of the real football league.

They've just got an 86th minute goal. Jammy bugggers.

Results so far are pretty good for us. Bournemouth losing, Stoke losing, hopefully West Brom will lose tomorrow at Chelsea.

ALWAYS_SFC always manages to get under people's skins, love it. He speaks more sense than most people on this forum.

Imagine the meltdown on this forum if we had only 1 win in 10. Everton have got some tough fixtures coming up as well

I completely agree with this. The players seem to have been given a free pass and the manager getting all the stick with certain posters.

I'm remaining positive. QUE SERA SERA WHATEVER WILL BE WILL BE WE'RE GOING TO WEMBLEY QUE SERA SERA

I think with or without Europa League, we are a striker light (and perhaps a couple more too). Maybe we were in for players and it didn't work out for some reason. Who knows. We'll see in January anyway what we do.
