FORTRESS MAGPIES v Pompey

Posted by M64 on April 16, 2017, 12:51 am

Let's hope we ruin their party although the bookies have us at odds of 7/2 which is a tad generous considering our recent form at home.

The gate seems to be going to top 12,000 with nearly 5,000 Pompey fans, the atmosphere should be cracking.

I'm going for a 2-1 home win, which if we win will trouser me £105 .....no doubt Hollis will conspire to cock it up for me, what was he thinking of at Crewe, absolutely awful.

WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES.....GRRRRRRRR

Well my heart says we can keep the run going, my head says we will come unstuck. They are not dominating teams at present and we are at home and seem to be getting well prepared for each team we meet.
My middle wins so its a 1-1 draw for me.
Think we will let a few go at the end of the season even the ones currently in the team.

We have been performing very well at home.
I expect that to continue tomorrow.
I will be a little careful with my prediction so it is a 2-2 draw for me.

Fred got in with the safe option... it would be easier to predict the crowd. With Pompey apparently selling all their tickets it will be interesting to see if Notts declare a realistic crowd as tickets are apparently doing well at this end. Hmm. 10,000 seems to be the top figure Notts admit to so I think 10,800. As to the score, I suspect 'end of season' and 'we are safe' thinking may creep in. I hope I'm wrong because this would be a big scalp.I'm going to stick my neck out and go 2-1 Notts - more in hope than expectation.

My fears realised.
I suppose we have made some strides recently but it shows we do need new recruits both in the squad and THE team at the moment.

If that is the best we can muster for the bench then we are in trouble.
Forte cant even get on.
Campbell done nothing since arriving, is it in the contract he must be on the bench?
Smith every game is it in his contract also.
Clackstone whats the point in him being here

Oh well on to next season.
Oconnor looks in trouble too me.

Don't be too downhearted Fred. There is a sort of end of term feeling creeping in and when you play a team with something still to play for that is going to matter. I don't think this game was a good one to judge Notts by. Let's not forget that this team couldn't win a point not so long ago so at least we are safe (which is the main thing) and I guess Mr Nolan has decided who he wants and who he doesn't. Let's see what happens next season.... although we already know what that will be.

Not downhearted JP just realistic has to what is needed next term. Yes we have done well during the new tenure but looking ahead we need a new bench if nothing else.Thought he might chuck a few youngsters on the bench if not a run in the team for the last 3 games and get rid of the likes of Forte, Campbell T Smith and one of Clackstone/Dickinson. Would also give the goalie a few games to see what he is made of.
