Could be a timely return!

Harding in the squad? Gee ..... that really fills me with optimism !!

I struggle to see where we go from here. We have changed the manager and signed some new players but the damage of Knill's tenure is probably too much for us to overturn. A gap is starting to appear and ourselves and Northampton look as though we could get cut adrift fairly soon. It's depressing bu...

I think it's to do with THAT dress he wore at Oxford. He hasn't been released yet .......

Seems it was a 'close shave' between us and the Cobblers who he signed for ..... ha, ha, h ..... oh well, please yourselves =D =D =D

Burnhamgull's comments are all fair. Brucie is right though that the referee made a decision that changed the game. After that decision we were woeful, but it was the disgraceful incompetence of the referee that changed the game from one in which we were playing reasonably with Billy Bodin looking ...

:~D Thank you Tommo that is very kind of you. I have done 4 or 5 of these in a similar vein on different threads and have to admit that they have been a little tongue in cheek (albeit also containing some things that are fact [like 7 pts from last 5] and some things that I do believe [like some of ...

Cheers Ethan - thanks.

The two bottom clubs in League 2 both change their managers in January for the relegation dogfight to come. Northampton in Chris Wilder and Alan Knill appoint two very experienced managers at this level who immediately strengthen their team. We appoint a former good player and captain who has no ma...

I agree with a lot that is said here , also poke was terrible in the 2 goals last night ,which is unusual.why not play goodwin up front with stockley, will somebody explain how probably the worst footballer in the country keeps creeping into our team (benyon) he cant score ,, he falls over at every...

Hector, that's what is so puzzling. As awful as they were from what you saw last night they were the polar opposite away from home. The fans at Pompey were loud and very supportive, could it possibly be the negative influence of a home crowd? If not then what could possibly cause two such contrasti...

Hargreaves sounded very downbeat after the game - I wonder if he knows the writing is already on the wall. For me our chance went when Hawley replaced Benyon - I actually think he looked completely disinterested and managed to spurn a great chance heading wide. Hargreaves sustitutions were really j...

Forever and Bengull have said it all really. Matt has exaggerated - Northampton had a game plan to close us down very quickly and they stuck to it effectively. With Emile Sinclair in their side and now John Marquis, they have players who can score goals which will win them matches. Northampton won't...

I disagree. Tonight was a hard slog in the mud and I don't think either team will go down.

Not the groundstaff fault at all - however I reckon we will need no rain at all between now and 7.45 pm tomorrow for the match to go ahead. There is a difference between being negative and realistic. A thorough soaking of the pitch overnight will lead to exactly the same scenario as we have had for...
