Bit of a gap between us and Pompey/Mackens ...

Just goes to show how good our Academy graduates are - that works out at between 6 and 7 youngsters on the pitch at all times in all matches; 1.5 more young players every game than even Wimbledon. Suggests Pompey had one player under 23 on the pitch for less than an hour every match, which is either odd or a very old squad!
