All depends. If Larin and Downes start, we've got a chance of at least a draw. If Jander is in for Downes, still a chance. If Larin is out though, I just can't see where the goals are coming from, not just against WH but every team. It's not just his goals, it's the way he battles and occupies defenders and holds the ball up to bring in runners. So if Larin is out, 2-0 to WH.

He could have taken another touch, then rolled it either side of Bazunu or there would have been a chance of being taken down from the clumsy arses behind him. Lack of confidence makes you hit it too early.

Good, professional performance. No crazy errors from JS in two games now. Sensible subs from Tonda. Winning when you're not at your best is a really good sign. Now let's smash Bolton and start frightening this league.

Speaking after the match it sounded like Tonda suggested he wanted to start Matsuki - but because he was called up by Japan in the international break, he was considered not quite ready after all the travelling. Bragg got the nod. So he got his chance but it just proved too much for him. Agree with others that he needs to bulk up a bit.

Working today so couldn't watch it but enjoyed seeing a bunch of miserable Pompey fans sat in a pub in Dorchester (Of all the odd places) looking like someone had shat in their beer 🤣

I guess I was so laser focused on our punishments that I've missed the fact several clubs in League One are all on minus points. What's that about?

That's really interesting. Goes against some key reasons why the EFL went so hard on us. I'm with the view that in years to come evidence will come out of seriously dodgy behaviour by the EFL and their crony matres. The panel was organised and led by a company listed as a supplier to the EFL for goodness sake.

That's 40 pages more than anyone at the FA will do 🤣

Whew. Two thoughts. The Bielsa situation caused a precedent that made it harder to be much more punitive with Tonda; and it may be that the Man City announcement made ours look significantly less of an issue, so going hard on us would mean having to destroy Citeh and I don't believe they are going to do that.

An injury to a key player, all for the utterly pointless, money spinning Nations whatever tournament. I hate the way football is going.

Making everyone wait this long is a typical tactic of people who do fuck all to earn their money but want to make you think they're incredibly busy. Like Rasmus.

If Larin isn't scoring we're short of options and that's a glaring error. Plus always conceding means we need at least two goals every game to win. Jander will strengthen us but the lack of back up for Larin will costs us automatic promotion IMHO.

Absolute charlatan. Even The Charlatans are less charlatan than this guy.

Just want us to start well. We've been really vulnerable first 20 minutes in most games. Start with confidence, get an early goal and hopefully build from that for a change.

Great win, great performance, so different to Saturday. More of this style and we will be right in the mix at the end of the season.
