Family stuff came up so I phoned in and released my ticket for somebody else to use.

Settle for 3.2

I never thought seeing Pompey sitting 14th in League 2 would feel so good!

Have to agree with that. In years to come, the way things are going, we will all look at this season's table and think "mid-table, that was a tension-free season then" before remembering what it has really been like. Now, perhaps, we can start to move onwards and upwards.

We still have a problem in defence. Another two goals to the Pirates. OK, they were fighting for their lives and one of theirs was deflected, but teams that aspire to promotion slots next year, should be showing signs of clean sheets and shutting down the opposition's supply lines, which was clearly not the case today.

AA thinks that should be enough? What? With three teams on 47 points and one to go down for certain?

Say we lose 0 - 5 to Northampton (remember Brum a few seasons back to whom we lost 5 - 0 and they went down and we stayed up?), then we are only 4 points above the drop zone - too close for comfort. We need either two more draws or one win as a minimum to be mathematically "safe" with only three to play. I would say that we are cutting it mighty fine.

Some said we should have got rid of our previous Manager earlier, some say we should have stayed with him to season end. 4 wot it's worth, IMHO, we did the right thing at exactly the right time. The only caveat I would ad
