Second half performance will say a lot here. WBA are absolute dross... if the players can't be roused for the 2nd half then it suggests we probably aren't going to make it this year. I personally would bring on Larin and see how they like having a big man shoving them around for a bit. We have the quality behind, just go 4-4-2 and give them some carnage to deal with. They're going to conceded chances with larin and stewart on the end of balls into the box 🤷‍♂️

Silver lining... if we lose this, it drags pompey right back into the shitter

Yeah, well off it.

Championship 101

And there it is. Think we can write this one off tbh, and Scienza injured as well. Not a good night.

Don't think we're winning this. Tempo far too slow, lots of possession but mostly easy for WBA and we're just tiring ourselves out after putting a lot in vs fulham... Need to sort it out at half time. As it stands, WBA look more likely to score (which isn't saying much)...

Wrexham missing a few for the next month at least, some for the season. Its there for us to take... Just have to keep this form going. Will be a tough playoff semi final though as we're almost certain to be away for the decisive leg.

1month is the rumour on the wrexham forums. Will be back to play us if the game gets moved.

It kind of is the least important game of the run in though, he isn't wrong 🙃 - they're top of the league and most teams will lose there. If you were picking any game for saints to drop points in, it would be that one.

You would like to think that the results tonight, coupled with the confidence of beating Fulham, will lead to a very focused performance vs WBA... But maybe even saying that is tempting fate.

There is a discussion on the wrexham board that Moore is out for circa 1month with a hamstring injury. Harsh on them, but would be good news for us in all seriousness - he's a very important player for them and they would miss his goals and attacking threat.

Its all falling into place quite nicely... Just dont drop a bollock vs wba!

I mean, we lost this game because of him if the ref didn't have an absolute howler 😄😅

Get in!!!!

No yellow card for dissent there for the fulham player after fouling azaz, yet Downes was given a yellow for the same thing 5min ago. No blatant foul given for the pulling on THB in our box

Not delighted to see Iwobi coming on...

Another error by the ref It still a foul mate, you can't elbow people in the face 😄

Jander elbowed in the face, free kick to fulham. Fulham player even came over to check he was okay. Ref is appalling. Goes from a much needed chance for us to load their box, to them attacking ours - which in the cup vs a higher opposition side is a big difference.

Free kick only got given because larin got annoyed at being fouled repeatedly, 3or so times now, and the ref giving that drop ball to fulham when we had possession. Just a joke. Larin should not react like that, but ref needs to sort it out. Hopefully it fires us up.

Ref is having a shocker this half, almost like he's decided to make up for the first half disallowed goal. Blatant bias in multiple calls inside the first 7min.

I would say this is on for us if we get a bit of luck and take our chances. Quite a few of our players standing up well to their level.

And yet, it is absolutely inappropriate that parliamentarians are behaving like this at at time when the UK is being reprimanded by world powers ranging from Cyprus to the usa, having foreign service personnel reliant on the Greeks for defence, unable and unwilling to act in self defence against iran, and unable to even get a single evacuation flight out of the middle east after 6days, whilst even countries as small as Thailand can manage it, and the USA has rescued 18,000 of their own citizens. And its not like the economy is doing well, unemployment isn't spiralling etc. I bet the students they're trying to shaft by freezing the repayment threshold are delighted to see them dancing around enjoying themselves. Newsflash for the government, when you're one of the worst performing ones in recent memory, don't draw attention to yourselves pissing about. Just shows that we've got a load of incompetent unserious cockwombles having a jolly on the taxpayers dime... certainly getting our monies worth out of them.

We need to badly hope boro need a win in that last game at Wrexham as well i reckon. Unless we fluff it up before hand, its going to go right down to the wire.

Arbitrary rankings FTW... but unless we implode away at Wrexham, we have easier fixtures and i reckon we'll catch them - plus GD will be on our side.

He has the highest points haul since his appointment, and he could have done even better... I was very critical of him early doors, but since the change in tactics (and adoption of the back 4 with a target man centrally up top) we've looked a very solid side. Its frustrating to watch him walk into mistakes eyes open time and again, but he's a rookie manager and its sadly to be expected... however on current form, he looks to be someone with a pretty high ceiling - we just have to be prepared to accept the learning curve.
