Turkish Posted 22 March, 2014 Share Posted 22 March, 2014 I thought a few weeks ago there was no way they'd go down, however they are in big trouble, aside from Torquay who look cents to go down they have the worst form of the bottom six, only 10 points from 10 games, next up for the is league leaders Rochdale away so could well be level on points with Northampton this time next week and they still have to play them away.

doddisalegend Posted 23 March, 2014 Share Posted 23 March, 2014 Speaking of loaning players haven't we got any we could loan to Northampton to help them out. I reckon Guly would be pretty amazing in league two, Jos would firm up any league two defence, is Forte still on the books? could notch up a few goals. Maybe Sam Gallagher to........anything to help out a fellow Hampton town and get pompey relegated:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right sider Posted 23 March, 2014 Share Posted 23 March, 2014 An Eastleigh home game against pompey would have issues due to lack of segregation. Moving it to Sms would make it massive for them in terms of income too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graffito Posted 23 March, 2014 Share Posted 23 March, 2014 I miss the derbies but to get them back would mean the 'muff moving back up the leagues. Wanting that to happen just seems plain wrong. Them playing Eastleigh in the Conference is a good substitute with the added bonus of them going out of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igsey Posted 25 March, 2014 Share Posted 25 March, 2014 Portsmouth losing 3-0 to league leaders Rochdale; Northampton are beating Wimbledon 2-1. If it stays like this, Portsmouth and Northampton both have 42 points and -17 goal difference; Northampton are in the relegation zone purely because they've scored fewer goals than Portsmouth!

kwsaint Posted 25 March, 2014 Share Posted 25 March, 2014 Not sure the bottom 2 will be good enough to pick up many points. Just 1 or 2 pompey wins could do it, maybe even just 1.

Saint86 Posted 26 March, 2014 Share Posted 26 March, 2014 They're fans really are starting to get it however :- "How do you guarantee an immediate return? Can't think of any clubs that have managed it. Can we even afford the upkeep of FP if we're in the conference? What a complete and utter ******* mess we're in" Then again:- "Someone one here said we're 7 months ahead of schedule with our debt repayments, so presumably we'd be ok as long as it was an immediate return to div4?" And look, the bestest deserting the team! Can't be true surely? "The club has had my blood, sweat, tears and tens of thousands over the last 45 years, and I've always said I am Pompey 'till I die, and I am, BUT, dropping out of the league will be one humiliation too far and while the clubs in its current dire predicament, I will not invest any more time commuting from Somerset to watch the likes of Salisbury playing Pompey! We need a manager with half a clue and twenty players who will give 1000% or die trying! Until that delirious day, I will following us on the internet only. I really can't believe we've been allowed to sink this low!" :lol::lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted 26 March, 2014 Share Posted 26 March, 2014 The board need to act now. Either by getting rid of Barker, or by coming out and explaining to us why they think they shouldn't. This is a big test of their mettle again. If they just maintain their radio silence, I can see pockets of fans at Fratton starting to turn against the board at the next home game. We were supposed to be the shining beacon of fan ownership. Not working out as we'd hoped, is it? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 26 March, 2014 Share Posted 26 March, 2014 Worked for us. We had money behind us and infrastructure, but I think any club sliding down the leagues like that needs to look to the future rather than a desperate attempt to bounce back immediately. Give youngsters a chance and stick with a decent young manager who'll improve young players and get them playing good football. PFC haven't done any of that, again. Still, I think they're right this time about sacking the manager. 7 games left, 3 home games and a poor squad, but probably better than 3 or 4 others at least. A better atmosphere, decisive action and a vaguely reasonable appointment would probably get them a win or 2 and save them. Lets hope not, eh?

They don't switch grounds in FA Cup matches these days. Yes they will. If they earn promotion, they'll get it. Especially if it's such a huge deal as going from non league to league. If Eastleigh get promoted this season, they will be playing in League Two next. SOMETHING will be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints Warrior Posted 27 March, 2014 Share Posted 27 March, 2014 I go to a few games at Eastleigh each season and they get good crowds, 500. 800. 2400 for Havant and Skatesville. This season Eastleigh have picked up to regain early form and when they play well you would back them to stay top so its a real knife edge end of season run as Bromley are very good. Only 1 goes up auto and Eastleigh did a few years ago lead 4-0 in playoff away only to lose the advantage at home leg. I don't think they want to go through this again and I am confident top spot will be Eastleigh`s. As for Skates they only 2 things in their advantage are that both Northampton and Torquay have been dreadful and its only in last few games they have picked up points. Stakes play Northampton away and it could all hinge on this, lose this and they could well go down. will be a massive game if both meet as loads Skates visit for the Eastleigh/HW game. Mind you half Eastleigh fans are Saints fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
