Yes, sir Paul Mariner only played for us at the end of his career but he never lost his scoring touch.
Micky Quinn. 'He's fat, he's round , he's worth a million pound, micky Quinn.
Outside the box he was nothing, inside the box, he was absolutely lethal. Great days they were.
Plymouth were easy on the eye and I expect the same from you. They were exploited out wide and we should have been out of sight by half time and a man down to boot.
The standard of refereeing in this league made sure they were still in touch luckily. I'm sure we are not the only team to think refs are abysmal in this league.
Schumacher made changes and after they equalised were all over us for 15 mins. It took Cowley that long to reset. We got a deserved equaliser in the 90th minute and could even have won it after that.
My fear is that you do play through us in the middle. We press higher and faster than any side I've seen including Plymouth.
If we are still nils apiece after halftime, pompey fans will be expecting us to score. We've only failed to score once against Lincoln at home. They came for a point and didn't play in any way conducive to winning the game.
In tight games, Dane Scarlett has normally been the difference. I don't think any defence is going to feel comfortable with him around. We got very lucky when we got him. |

I know there are some decent posters here, who know their football.
I also know there are some 'challenged' here.
I'll let you decide what's what posting in reply.
Regards
You have a good evening |

This!
It's exactly what we thought of him.
He could look nigh on unplayable at times but follow that up with 'did he play' displays and even petulant kick outs at other players. It's not as if he is an enforcer or a hard player.
Your team have others that can cover his off days but it does get annoying sooner or later |

I think ipswich are strong all over the park but if I had one criticism of them is that McKenna makes strange subs.
I have read several reports from your games and watched Sunday. He replaced his players who for one reason or another were not 'doing it' for him. Harness had a rhythm of playing 4 hood games and then a couple of bad ones or ones where he disappeared. Cowley got around that by changing shape, this helped Marcus at the time. It seems McKenna doesn't react to the game. Schumacher did against us both and I'm impressed by him. Plymouth have a good manager there.
As for us, we have good players but lose them and after a couple of subs we start to lose something.
Dane Scarlett.
Cowley pulled off a masterstroke getting this lad. His running isn't wasted, you can see he has been coached well. He times his runs perfectly and springs offside traps continuously. He has great pace and is brave. He's got a great future and is scoring goals.
Colby Bishop
He will play slightly deeper with Dane up front and this blunts him a little but 2nd half he'll play higher as we go for crosses into the box and his heading and strength have seen him score 6 already.
Owen Dale
Tricky winger from Blackpool where he never got a chance. He is getting better every game. He has the ability to beat his man or men and provides great crosses from the right.
Josh Koroma
We have had him for just two games and one of those was as sub. He has an assist from the first game and a 'worldie' from the Plymouth game and pompey fans are excited to see if he can keep this up. Plainly to good for league 1. Cowley was at Huddersfield when he was making waves. No brained for him to come to Pompey and its started well.
You have Morsy and we have Pack.
Cracking midfielder, way to good for this league but we got him because pompey is his hometown club. He had multiple offers in championship.
Ogilvie left back
Has been steady at back, great in the air and brilliant got g forward.
Curtis
A class player that gets under opposition skin but I expect him to be on the bench against you. A great player to bring on.
We will look to settle into the game. We have been distinctly second best at Wednesday first half and 1 down but roasted them 2nd half when we exploited space behind their wing backs. If you give us space to get crosses in, pompey can hurt you.
I just hope the occasion doesn't get to them.
Good luck to you after this game and the one at fratton obviously.

No they have not.
Just to be clear.
We have a poster called 'Bluearmy'. He is in fact a scummer (saints fan). He posts rubbish in the hope it's transported to other teams forums that we play.
He claimed last week that Plymouth were nothing and comparatively pompey are as big as villa!
It turned up on Pasoti the Plymouth site with much ridicule but once that had been explained, we'll its just weird.
I'm sure you have an imposter fan from Naarwich here too that does the same type of bollox.
We have sold our allocation, we could have sold it twice over. There is alot of interest in this game, of course there is. Pompey's following will get behind their side as we always do.
We both need this game. You to get back on track and us to finally believe we have a side that can challenge.
Big game for us both and both of us should be in the division above.
I think this is the best league 1 in ages with some really big clubs like Wednesday and Derby and clubs like ours, Bolton, Charlton and Plymouth. |

That is a very real possibility. But it also has given a couple of niggles with injuries time to heal. I'd say 6 to 1, half a dozen the other.
No excuses. Its a game that could really set us up. Ultimately, it's just 3 pts |

I thought it would be a draw today. Ipswich were seemingly on their way.
We (Pompey) should've been out of sight against Plymouth and them down to 10 before half time.
We weren't and so Plymouth had not only hope but the knowledge that they had come from behind several times. Thats down to Schumacher who is a good manager.
We got an equaliser that was deserved but it showed us Plymouth are a real threat.
You were bound to lose a game sooner or than later. Pompey will too. Just not next week, this'll put a spring in our step.
How McKenna gets you ready will be a test of his managerial credentials. |

We got a 3-3 draw on opening day after being given the runaround first half. We went in 1-0 down but it should've been more.
2nd half We battered them and they got a great 3rd goal but we should've been out of sight.
Barnsley have just won 0-2 there so why not you? |

I was really happy that pompey took the game to Posh after a mistake at the back.
We played well and were worth the win by a bigger margin.
Got to say well done, you've taken top place back even if it's goal difference.
Top is top.

I think he is a very good signing.
Harms Plymouth in the process.
I have a green army friend at work who is gutted he is going.
Great signing |

See that is the measure of a fan!
And I believe in that. I'll be back to take my medicine.
It's the way of things
I'm of the opinion we might just scrape the play offs and we might not! |
