Good to see Chaplow back, although I like to see Guly playing on the right with a free role, but can't be helped if he's ill. Strong team today though, just hope Nigel brings on Lee ahead of Connolly!!!
think harding is playing sooner have martin in richardsons place.rumours chappers starting think if not match fit bench would be better time will tell

This is a real question, one which I would really ike answered.
Why do Poopey attract such low life owners ?
The people of the city of Portsmouth do not deserve such slurs on their character, I know several of their fans and they are upset about the situation too !
Will the Football league investigate a bit more thoroughly this time and discover the true intentions of Andonikou?
By the way this is not just a recent situation, they have had financial problems for more than 45 years.
Ask the Deacon family who once owned them and took them close to bankruptcy then !
Ian St John was the manager who took them to the 4th Division.John Oldfield wrote the tune "portsmouth" to raise money for the club.
They have been an embarrasment to the county of Hampshire for a very long time, and now it is time to put an end to them.
I do not think a fit + proper person will be interested in investing his money on the shambles that is PFC.
Why are they being allowed to go in to Administration ?
That was there aim in January and everyone knew it.
Next post will be about Saints, my team, and football.
Just needed to get that off my chest !

Derby do not appear to have an attacking force down that wing, so he shouldn't be too busy with defensive duties, so we must hope that Chappers playing in front of him gets a free role to play and surge forward. BUT........
what do I know about football ?

Costa Baz wrote:Harding played right back at Forest. He was fairly effective. Didn't look out of place at all.
My only concern with Harding as right back is that as NA wants the full backs to overlap, it would be preferable to have a naturally right footed player hitting crosses from the bye line, rather than a lefty turning back onto his best foot, changing the angle of the cross and losing "the moment", ie forwards running in for an instant right footed cross, having to halt their runs and wait while the ball is switched to the left foot for crossing.
Prove me wrong Dan Harding and continue setting up the goals a la Frazer.
