Phew.
That was close.
Derby 2- 0 up.
Hull in front 0 - 1
Hull goal scorer sent off a minute later!
Plymouth losing
Luton down to 10
Hull winning 1-0 but down to 10 men
Two of the bottom three are 2-0 down, can Blackburn help us out second half?
Notable score in the Premier League,
Liverpool 0 Southampton 1.
If we are going to lose then we need any help we can get:Quote:

With approx 82 mins played we are 4 points out of the drop zone as it stands.
Elsewhere Liverpool now lead 2 - 1
Portsmouth beating Leeds at Fratton Park.
71 mins played. Would take Pompey to 42 points.
That will be Pompey basically safe if they can hold on. We really need to hope Derby don’t go on a run.
When we beat Pompey here I thought they and Plymouth were destined for the bottom 2. They were almost as awful as Plymouth the previous home match.
Has been some turnaround.
Yeah three wins on the trot make a big difference - and maybe another today.Quote:

Near record crowd today as well
Brilliant win!
That's the old Pompey insular siege mentality for you!
They kept their manager. They shortened the pitch , got Colby Bishop back and changed their style going much more direct and pressing high.Quote:

That’s a great result to be fair. Funny though as Leeds thought they were promoted after winning at Sheffield Utd. Portsmouth should be ok as we’ll struggle to reach their current total of 42 points. Derby could pick up another 4 wins to move up but that still might not be enough! I think we’ll finish above Plymouth though they seem to have surrendered
Kind of ironic considering they have Murphy (not to mention Pack in defence).Quote:

And Regan Poole. Pack and Poole kept a clean sheet in a win over Leeds who have won their last five games against us with an aggregate score of 19-2 - you have to laugh or you.’d be crying your eyes out. Results like today’s show Portsmouth have the sort of belief we can only dream about.Quote:

I didn't see the game but I presume they had a good day at the office.Quote:

I agree, there’s too much acceptance that we’re going to lose to the likes of Burnley & Sunderland, we’re sleep walking into relegation, it’s 3 from 7 now.Quote:

Portsmouth pack out their ground every week and they're noisy and very close to the pitch. I'm sure it's a lot more intimidating to play there than at a half empty Cardiff city stadium
Worse still, the manager and team write the game off before it starts.Quote:
