Actually I'm not too worried about that. I've no more idea than you have but get the vibe that this was going to give him experience in the team, and a not easy away game too, and that he came off as planned with a "well done, you helped keep a clean sheet". Either way, part of a great team effort..

I thought Dobbin and Edozie also made decent contributions which should be acknowledged. Jander obviously not fully fit yet with that touch of cramp at the end. Good to give a few players a rest and some time for others; all in a good evening and a happy PO10 pub.

I see Portsmouth are also on Sky + as well as Citeh v PSG. Just hope my PO10 area pub shows Saints; they normally do when I go..

So Edozie's job is to attack the full back and get him booked, and then Scienza can come on against a tiring defender and hopefully not get clattered too much..

I'm not saying this in a disparaging way, but I haven't thought about him since he left and haven't really missed him. Not to say that we wouldn't be better with him and I couldn't think who the alternative was when I saw Stephens playing yesterday, but no gaping hole left. Schlotterbeck and the other defenders really proved their worth yesterday with all the blocks they made. Farmer Saint, what aspect of his game are they disappointed with? Surely extensive scouting covers the main attributes?

I wouldn't have quite used that vocabulary selection, but you have correctly identified the empathic, sensitive, infrequent and not at all self-opinionated contributions of that poster.. Whoops, I only noticed Tamesaint's contribution after I had typed the above, so wouldn't want to be thought of as joining any mass pile on. I'm still going to leave my postn though.. Edit: too many 'contributions'..

Ah yes, Wednesday; that's why I initially couldn't find it on the listings..DOH! On Sky Sports +, so down the pub it is.

Actually that friend really does have a PPL(H), and she's always looking to build her hours!..

I'm on the train but my friend has just phoned me to say that she's been held up on the M27 by the convoy. Lots of blues everywhere and even a police helicopter! It really is over the top..

Luckily I had no one to explain to but the neighbours must have wondered..

Perhaps play Scienza slightly more inside so that when (not if) he gets taken out and if (not when) he gets a free kick or two that it will be in JWP range. It seems odd that after he left us his opportunities for free kicks and resulting goals completely fell off a cliff, so let's hope he's been practising again..

Is TCWTB still on our banned list?

Like DBH above I shall no doubt be raucous occasionally in my support especially if er.. I get an early train and stumble on an open pub.. But living as I do over in a PO area it's all a bit of banter whether it's down the nearest pub to watch football -"Oh, are scummers on then?", or the guy on the next plot at the allotment or my old team mates from football, some of whom actually go to Fratton, occasionally.. I've occasionally had a few Portsmyths thrown at me in the pub, but there are stupid people everywhere, and the same ones are the sort who tell me why my EV can't take me across Europe, solar panels don't work at night (doh!) and other easily ignorable crap.

To avoid going on Tw*tter, did Steve Grant get a reply from the Tw*tter-in-chief?

Did you point out to him that it was eventually 0.4p in the £ after the second bankruptcy? I genuinely burst out laughing at reading that!
