Its a good point, we are already guaranteed to be playing 57 games this season, plus maybe a JPT final, more FA Cup, and maybe even play off games.

I have missed 3 games so far this season, hats off to anyone who does the lot.

Current L1 games off -

 

Brighton OFF Brentford, 15:00

Bristol Rovers OFF Stockport, 15:00

Charlton OFF Hartlepool, 15:00

Gillingham OFF Tranmere, 15:00

MK Dons OFF Swindon, 15:00

Oldham OFF Leyton Orient, 15:00

Southampton OFF Huddersfield, 15:00

Yeovil OFF Colchester, 15:00

 

only one that looks likely to go ahead is the Norwich/Exeter game - dependent on Exeter getting there that is.

 

there's a few that haven't been called off yet - but are likely to be by the end of friday.

Pretty sure that the Norwich game will be called-off as the forecast for East Anglia/Eastern England in general is horrendous for tomorrow & saturday with strong bitterly-cold winds too.

I realise that there maybe an issue with people actually getting to the ground, but that aside I thought that we had undersoil heating?

 

I'm sure I remember Wupert saying it was hardly needed in the 'mild south' and that it was also very costly to run even against getting the game played. It's also been mentioned that it can ruin the pitch by damaging the grass roots and, as you say, after all that it's usually unsafe access to stadiums for fans, players and emergency services that get them postponed.

we've not got much momentum atm tbf, we've stuttered a bit over xmas if anything - for me, this break is a bonus.

 

To clarify, by momentum I meant the general good run and climb that we've been on since Yeovil, but yes we have coughed a bit recently, and it could well be down to tiredness.

 

Certainly this break is a chance for any minor knocks to heal. Scneiderlin has been through the mill in recent matches and as many have said, Lambert too. I've been amazed how well Dan Harding has kept going as he rarely seems to get through a game without taking a heavy tackle or two. Having seen every game since Huddersfield away, I feel that these 3 players have been targeted in particular by other teams.

worrying isnt it...I was hoping we would have given the FA cup a wide berth and rested 4-5 key players as they simply cannot go on and on and on playing as good as they have been

 

now we have a little rest..

Happy with this news as I'd told my wife I wouldn't go as it's our daughter's birthday on Saturday.

 

This way I should get to go to the re-arranged game, plus brownie points still intact with the missus.

 

:)

 

 

 

Good for you - it's a total pain in the ar5e for me on the other hand as I've got 2 extra tickets for mates to come and they'll never be able to make a rearranged midweek date .

what momentum...we lost a couple and were playing badly

 

Thought our performance at Leeds was very good personally. Colchester we had a good half and they had a good half. I would not be too down hearted by those results. Leeds are us a year in the future and Colchester are a very organised well disciplined team. If we play like that against the majority of teams in this league were win most of them. We have actually only lost 3 games out of the last 20 or so. I'm sure 4 months ago if someone said that we would all be very happy with it :)

But you would have found out a way to go to the football had it been on, right? :)

 

Nope, I'd have had to have taken one for the team (ie my b@llocks) and missed the game...

Time to find a new wife who wont do a job on the b@llocks for going to the important thing in life. Find one that checks the fixture list before organising anything :)

I'd say our form in December was more down to the standard of opposition - Leeds, Norwich, Colchester, all teams in the play off zone and more capable of countering our game plan. Lambert didn't do well against any of these teams. OK, we beat Norwich, but we were still poor on the night.

 

Tiredness may well have been a factor for certain players, but lets hope that can be resolved by bringing some more quality into the squad.

I hope they replace the excited of a match by announcing 4 signings on the OS on Saturday.

 

At 3pm a centre back

 

At 3.45 a striker

 

At 4.45 a midfielder

 

At 5.00 a right back

 

Still , the perils of Pompey warm the ****les of your heart in these cold and difficult times :)

 

Yes indeed. But let's hope their match is not called off. It would be a shame for it to be rearranged for after their African Nations Cup players get back (assuming that their club still exists then :D)

I'm not even going to tell the missus the match is off, then I get a free whole day out on the ****.

 

She'll never find out.
