I'm sure they'll console themselves having scored a last minute winner and sit 5th in L1

Couldn't care less.

1700 Pompey.

Couldn't care less.

But you care enough to check their attendance and find out how many visiting fans there were to compare with us 🤷🏼‍♂️

So which would you prefer, getting 10k at home every week & finishing mid table, or getting 6/7k and getting promoted?

[JBZ]

Attendances are not generally regarded as a measure of success.  I suspect that Sunderland and Newcastle are acutely aware of that.

So? Who asked you?

Unfortunately we don’t have the depth to make game influencing changes. Players form will dip in and out however would still have Conroy, Reed and Payne in my starting line up when available.
Equally we have been dealt a blow having all of our first half of the season loans and momentum ripped apart by losing them to their respective parent clubs.
New loan players don’t look bad and something to work with but need to get some stability and that winning momentum as soon as possible.

The latter without a doubt.
But hey we have to console our bitter disappointment some how.

Just an observation, but presumably as it doesn’t agree with your view I’m not allowed to express it.

Indeed, but I’d prefer it was because the bastards had lost

Out of interest - who would you drop for Conroy? Despite conceding 2 goals I thought we strangely looked good at the back yesterday, the issues were in-front of the defence.

Couldn't care less.

Can't wait for the next attendance update.

Start of second half, Town upped the tempo, thought uh oh, now on the back foot. Then the Tomlinson goal ( what a prospect you have there ). As Garner observed the team seemed to switch off, physically or mentally, to sit back on the lead. Change of shape helped our cause, and had Man City scored our first the pundits would have been purring. Think we deserved it on the day, but Town away at ours on a Tuesday night will be a whole different prospect undoubtedly. Hope you all make it to help boost our coffers, as we did yours, should be another cracker.

FGR will go up on attendances of 2500.
