pl00peh91 Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Starting up front for Gillingham against Leicester on BBC1 in a few minutes. Didn’t realise he’d gone there. Gillingham are bottom of League Two! Strange what’s happened to his career, he looked promising at Scunthorpe in League One before we apparently ruined him. Hopefully he plays well today on the telly against a leaky Leicester defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 True story when we signed him the fee could not be agreed and went to a tribunal. He'd played his first couple of games under LJ before the tribunal sat, at which point they decided how much Scunthorpe should pay us. 2 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went in the away end when Middlesbrough played them in the cup (friend is a Boro fan) and it was like being in a proper European stadium. Would recommend. Pompey are doing okay, some good balls from Morrell. Shame Pack and Towler are out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Just watching the game. Typical League 2 fare, one dimensional, lacking skill and devoid of ideas....... And Gillingham aren't much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive. I'd imagine we'd do 5-6k for a similar London game at a big place like that. Pompey have been solid but with only a little threat. Spurs sending everything through Son on the left and he's not quite got the deliver correct yet. Morrell's been solid if unspectacular.

I think 6k would be about what should be expected tbh, and I think that's a good number. It coould well be more as you say, but I'd be pleasantly shocked if we got up near 9k like Pompey. 1-0 to Spurs. Kane from the edge of the box.

Webster - the guy that LJ specifically demanded be signed as a condition of letting Flint go. The guy LJ then played as much as he could (I mean which of us wouldn't have done that!?).
