Felt to me like Wednesday just didn't do their homework. We've got the worst goal difference in professional football and our left flank is like a Swiss cheese. But for an hour or more they passed it sideways and backwards.
I think he was lined up for departure before Big Dunc showed up, which was a bit weird. But someone has to go; we could put out a full team of midfielders.
We could be playing teams in the second half of this season with an entirely different starting XI to the one we put out the first time we played them. Has that been done within the same season before? Our recruitment seems like a random player generator.
Looking from the outside, surely the Portsmouth job is a massive opportunity and one which a confident young manager chomping at the bit for his first big break would find almost impossible to turn down regardless of the money.
We missed out there. Birmingham were poor, particularly first half.
However, my abiding impression is just how far gone the FA Cup is. By the end last night the game had about as much intensity as a friendly. Sad.
That's a 0.78 positive correlation between average home fans and current league position, which I think a stato would regard as strong. Portsmouth currently bottom of that table (4th highest attendance vs 13th in the EFL2 table), Wycombe top (18th vs 7th).
Is Simpsons Fish and Chips at the bottom of Whaddon Road still doing unlimited chips? I took my teenager there before an EFL2 game a few years back. He thought he had died and gone to heaven.
