Sounded like plenty of pressure towards the end, but still probably two points dropped.

 

A win on Saturday becomes that much more important, although if we'd been offered 4 points from the two away games beforehand, I expect we'd have been reasonably satisfied with it.

 

Makes me sick seeing bournemouth sitting in an automatic promotion place. The rivalry has at last been ignited in me.

 

As for tonight, 2 points dropped... who gave away the penalty? hang them.

4 points from 2 away games

 

A goal from Guly and nearly got a second.

 

Good return.

 

Must now win the home games.

 

When you put it like this it sounds ok. But still... Yeovil. And seeing ballmouth at the top of the table with brighton is doing my head in, not because its ballmouth, but because we've spent the money, we've got the players and WE SHOULD BE UP THERE!!

 

Hopefully a few more weeks and things will look more rosey.

Pretty poor result IMO. We need to win these sort of games when we take the lead, our automatic promotion credentials are looking dead in the water.

 

died ages ago as we wont miraculously improve adequately enough... its a lie that teams at the top arent running away with it... the lead is getting longer.

 

listening to pompey taters boasting is making me sick. how are they even in existence. skate ****s

Given one of those two games was vs Sheffield Wednesday I tend to concur with that, although with the results reversed of course. I'm sure if we'd got a draw against Sheff Wed at the weekend and won tonight you'd get a much different perspective and reaction on our position than we'll inevitably see on here this evening....

 

Funny how the human mind works (or not as the case may be)

How could you tell? Not following the updates on here I assume....? ;-)

I should just look at the database load stats to work out what's happening :lol:

 

We're going to investigate moving the database onto a separate server - there are pros and cons to doing it, so we need to weigh it all up. The main "con" is the cost and the added complexity, but if it runs faster then ultimately it'll probably be worth it.

Yep, it was Yeovil.

 

Truly f**king awful.

 

I understand what you are saying, but we don't have a god given right to win every game. 4 points from two away games is positive and an improvement (trust me I was at Swindon and Rochdale home). Saying all that it'll be a disaster if we don't get 6 points from the next two games.

Yeovil lost to Exeter at the weekend. Basically sums up how much of bad result this is.

 

It isn't the sign of a team who want to get promoted this season. ****ing awful and we are now 11 points of Brighton I think, if we couldn't make that up last season we won't be doing it this season.

 

I reckon Bournemouth will do us on Saturday.

Completely agree.

I expected us to lose at SW and win tonight.

 

Lets face it we are a L1 club with a big newish stadium.

But only 9 points from 9 games! 20% of the season gone and this is still relegation form! if we had 18 from 9 and had just taken 4 from 2 I would agree with you. The trouble is we keep dropping further and further off the pace!

Disappointed more than anything. I thought we'd really kick on once we scored the first goal. Stupid penalty from the sounds of it possibly a case of the ref evening up the earlier one which was apparently nailed on. IMO it is dropped points but on the plus side it could have been worse, try being a Leeds fan tonight!

Unfortunately if we look at games like....well we got unexpected 3 at sheffield and 1 today..so that's good....we won't go anywhere...we got 3 at sheffield and should be thumping this lot and the same again on Saturday. There are very few games where we should not be expecting 3 points with the set up that we have.

 

That isn't ignorance or blind faith..that is how it should be given the infrastructure and punching power that we have in this division. Unfortunately it's not panning out that way. 3 on Saturday will goa long way to helping and hopefully start us moving up a few places.

 

We can't afford many more bad performaces, home or away where we pick up single points where we should be expecting nothing less than 3.

If you can't beat Yeovil away then you have no right to win automatic promotion. I hate to say it but this current side is no way good enough for top two, we will be lucky to make the top six at this rate. Lallana is the only player that makes our team tick. Too many players putting in average performance's regularly, e.g. Hammond, Puncheon etc. Who knows what has happened to Rickie this season, perhaps when he gets one, many will come, we shall see but favourites for promotion.......... pppfff

Sounded like a good hard earned point and we could have nicked it at the end. I would have taken 5 points from the last 3 games with 1 conceded after our confidence looked shot at MK. Big game now on Saturday. COYS

 

Low and behold, a man of reason. Walking away from the Rochdale game I couldn't have been more depressed if I wanted to be, this is more positive.

They are a divison above us and doing reasonably well for a promoted side in 10th! I would swap anytime! (plus they got to see a ten goal match, we can't hit a barn door with a banjo at the moment with the possible exception of Guly!)

People,

 

If we'd drawn AWAY to Sheff Wed at the weekend and then won AWAY at Yeovil tonight (thus collecting the same net total of 4 points) would you be reacting in the same way tonight?

 

No? Thought not.... ;-)

 

 

Just because it's big club Sheff Wed it means **** all, our win against them was their 4th straight defeat, and they drew at home 0-0 vs Oldham tonight.... they're in terrible form.

Calm down girls. Unbeaten in three, six points off playoffs, 8 points off automatic, 111 points left to play for.

 

christ, that makes it look worse - sure it's only 111 points to play for?

 

if we want auto promotion we can only realistically drop around 15-20 more points. That's going to be one hell of an effort from the position we're in.
