Would be nice to get something from this game, though I suspect it will be one way traffic towards our goal! I think there's a fair chance Pompey could be crowned champions so I expect an exciting game and decent atmosphere for those lucky enough to be in attendance.
I know we sold out our allocation but how many tickets did they give us? I'd imagine no more than 500. Still, a decent effort from the Robins fans on what could well be our last ever league visit to Portsmouth.

Really wanted to go but after Saturday I can't see anything but an absolute hammering!

Pompy with a title to play for, our lads relaxed mentally after a massive effort last week, a big wide pitch and our narrow diamond in full glory. Quarter back Rowe spraying balls around with Cranners trying some crunching tackles to earn himself a new deal......
Could be double figures.

Diamond is in the past thank goodness. 4-4-2 saved us in the nick of time.

Pressure off our boys. Let's play with relaxed confidence.

I recall two league defeats by Grimsby in 2005-6, and others before that

We should play the trending 4-2-3-1 system which gives protection for the defence and makes you more competitive in midfield.But it depends on quality of players and we just don`t have the finance.horlickfanclub wrote:Diamond is in the past thank goodness. 4-4-2 saved us in the nick of time.

3-5-2, 5-3-2, 3-2-3-2, or whatever you want to call it.
Always gives you a spare CB and CM whilst keeping the crucial width and two up front.

That system got us in the bottom two. We only escaped in April with 4 4 2.

Players weren't good enough. After a summer of rebuilding, backed by good season ticket sales, the quality in the squad will be there.horlickfanclub wrote:That system got us in the bottom two. We only escaped in April with 4 4 2.

3-5-2 should provide plenty of width but we seemed to get overrun easily although I think that owed more to having square pegs in round holes
