Just me who didn’t think Bury were that bad last night? There didn’t seem to be too much difference between the two teams. Just individual mistakes and Dack being pretty good the defining factors.

No we weren't as bad as I've seen us this season. However our lack or creativity will no doubt cost us come the end of the season. There's 3 players that I'd want in my starting 11 next season and they are all loanees - speaks volumes of how crap our recruitment has been.

Same story every week and look where we are.

Bury FC are the definition of how not to run a football club.

That was as poor as I can remember seeing us... and it was still a very comfortable win. I felt sorry for the Bury fans there. They’re doomed if they play like that most weeks

It’s like that every week, hence we are bottom of the league.

 

[EricSabin]

Well done Pompey.

 

[DippyDon]

"Dreams coming true" would be the club going bust and restarting in the 12th tier .....

Oh and Stadium MK being pulled down.

Why? It'll be a great stadium for MK Addicks when Pete Winkelman turns out to be the Charlton buyer.

We do win there more than we do at The Valley I suppose.

 

[GEORGE]

You probably win there more than MK Dons.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

You probably win there more than MK Dons.

And take more fans there than the Donkeys?

 

[Hurrikeen]

That's a lovely result between Rochdale & MK.

Sol Campbell is your answer as it is easy apparently and he would only need 3 games to change it.

If Sol Campbell is the answer, I cannot work out what is the question?

Who would be the shittest appointment as a league 1 manager?

 

[DippyDon]

Wrong, the answer to that is Dan Micciche

I really should have included a sarcasm emoji.

Doing a great job.

I raise all your crap managers and trump you with Paul Dickov

 

[UTS]

Surely Darren Kelly of Oldham and Halifax. Sacked twice before November then relegated with Hyde.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Rob Page and JED didn't do us any favours...

 

[UTS]

21 from 12 required.

1 defeat in 7. 3 wins 3 draws 1 loss.

12 points gained from last 7.

Steve Kean. Although calling him a manager is too kind

You say that but if you hadn't forced him to resign in 2012 he might have got you straight back up. You were 3rd when he left and finished 17th. Alas he left and now you're in L1.

He took us from comfortably mid-table premier league to relegation with a squad containing some very good players. Plus he did crooked deals which lost the club a shit load of money and only ever got the job because of the agency he was under. Funny how no one else reputable has ever gone near him since. He was a more terrible employee (not just manager) than any other club in this league has ever had

 

[EricSabin]

So then children, not a great deal of movement at the bottom after yesterday. Dale lost at Wigan and surely have left themselves too much to do, Bury kept their faint hopes alive with a good win but will need title winning form to get clear of the drop. Dons and Fleetwood drew in a result that doesn't really help either team, whereas we drew at home to Oxford in a game where we missed several gilt edged chances. Wimbledon will be disappointed with a point having led at Boro with 12 to play, while Walsall are just about in the picture but have games in hand.


17. Walsall - P33 - 41 points
18. Wimbledon - P34 - 38 points
19. Northampton - P35- 38 points
20. Fleetwood - P34 - 37 points
21. Oldham - P33 - 36 points
22. MK Dons - P34 - 32 points
23. Bury - P34 - 29 points
24. Rochdale - P30 - 26 points

The week ahead...

Tuesday

Wimbledon v Blackburn
Peterborough v Walsall

Saturday

Wimbledon v Charlton
Blackpool v Northampton
Doncaster v Bury
MK Dons v Bristol Rovers
Oxford v Fleetwood
Rochdale v Plymouth
Scunthorpe v Oldham
Southend v Walsall

Blackpools home record is dreadful, so this really is a must win

 

[UTS]

We play 5 of the bottom 7 in our last 12 games... could we have a bearing on the relegation mix? (excluding ourselves).

Haha. We got lucky in a lot of games early on that season, no way were we staying as high as we were, especially with that fraud in charge.

Being a lucky manager is better than being a good manager.

We've had Shaun Harvey so I wouldn't say that tags a deadcert. If we can include chairman I think Blackpool and Charlton may disagree as well.

Our chaming ex-CEO is a nominee too.
