Baird of the land

They were never going to be able to play every sat/tue, which is why I expected the wood change.

We really could have done with Leicester/Oxford results going better, to keep their games vs millwall meaningful.

The obvious rotations to freshen the team up will be jander, scienza, azaz, Stewart. I do wonder if we might play wood in this one and give Stephens a breather.

Yeah we were pretty rocky playing a back 4 against Donny, with peretz (debut), archer and jelert. The hull game after that is the one where we shouldn’t have reverted to 5 at the back.

The guy went down softly but it was a completely needless contact by manning.

He was very close to giving away a penalty, bundling into their player needlessly.

Probably not but this is an incredibly fun run, and free of much stress because it seems so inconceivable.

Is that like pompey was a supposedly easy game for ipswich

As I expected archer starts. Surprised to see fellows starting though.

Watching the numerous goaline blocks in their weekend game leaves me little hope pompey will get a result vs a better team in ipswich

So is shirt grabbing also a red card offence?

After being whacked in the face(not violent conduct) reaching to grab hold of something was probably instinctual. Still a bad modern law invention.

The whole hair pull red card thing is stupid.

So it’s going to be an archer start game

What looked like a very close playoff race looks pretty much decided now.

Disappointing that Norwich couldn’t get anything. Weren’t helped by the dodgy penalty, plus ref refusing to send off Nunez.

Might be the best result for us. WBA have Ipswich at the end of the month, so we ideally want them to still have something to play for rather than be clear of danger.

WBA certainly competitive in tonight’s game so far. Millwall have looked more threatening though.

Was very concerned about the gamble appointment at the time. Though fair play their next gamble appointment has been stellar. Was really unimpressed by him tactically. He didn’t seem to have any clue how he wanted u to play or how to attack opposition weaknesses. Players have gone out of their way to talk up tonda in this regard, which implies to me that the players were unimpressed too. His player identification was bad. He looked at bree and thought he wasn’t good enough whereas under tones he’s played every game since his return and looked great. Ending up at a game and having to taxi Bragg to the game with no preparation hardly smacks of good player management. i know some people liked the way he talked but I thought it was very amateurish. curious what his previous team actually thought were his strengths.

Agree, with flaws of the teams above us 84 might do it but I can’t see us winning out.

Cmon Norwich,beat Ipswich in the derby at the weekend.

With a 26 man squad take both.

That equally applies to Stewart

Lovely stuff. still probably too late to grab 2nd but if we keep playing like this we’ll make someone earn it.

To me he shouldn’t get sucked in and instead make windass shoot with his left.
