They had the 2nd fewest points in the last 15 matches last year, was just following that form.

I dislike Newcastle, actually. Their ownership, not the club in general.

Think their end of season form was down to having an interim coach. If they keep Clarke and get a goalscoring CF they could challenge for the playoffs.

What a return to the Championship for my Pompey.

The effort was immense, even though the gulf in talent was clear. Leeds are really good.

I wasn't expecting anything out of this game and even less with our top 2 strikers both out. And despite that, we could've won it (and easily lost it...).

A point is a spectacular result in probably the toughest game all year.

Flying over to see Pompey/Luton next week!

Saturday will be my 10th match! (It helps to work for an airline.) But as you can see... It's been a looooong road back to the 2nd tier.

Barry Bannon is the Keith Richards of the footballing world.

Plymouth start the season with a 4-0 loss away at Wednesday. Relegated on opening day? Who knows.

Win? I didn't have them in my relegation teams because they kept hold of Whittaker, if they sell him they'll go down. Scoring goals is what keeps teams up and he's one of the best in that league, not sure he can do it alone but he gives them a chance.

Preston Manager, Ryan Lowe, lasted one game.

How is that even possible?

The pressure in the football league is outrageous. I assume there was a debrief and it didn't go well.

Just no stability whatsoever.

Fantastic back pass.

Wrexham 3-0 win vs Reading, up to 4th.

A giant middlefinger to possession = equals domination people. 32% possession, 7 shots on target, Reading only one shot.

Two wins and unbeaten in their first three without Mullin, well he did come on as a sub late today after the game was pretty much decided. Can't really ask for much more than that though Peterborough and Birmingham City away in two of the next three league games will be tricky.
