Everyone had played 28 games and won their games in hand Bolton 60pts Posh 58pts Pompey 56pts Reds 55pts Bolton to play twice Pompey away Massive games to come we are in thick of it as it stands.
I was rather hoping for some Rudyard Kipling. Maybe Collins recites it just before sending the lads out onto the park. Even taciturn Scots must have an ear for stoic Victorian poetry. And he’s certainly endured a few slings and arrows along the way so far.
I’ll be more confident with a couple of players signed before the end of the transfer window to take into the latter end of the season, we need strength in depth.
If we'd held on against Peterborough and Wigan we'd be top of the league with a game in hand. Disappointing that we couldn't hold on, but encouraging how close we could be. We were never catching Plymouth or Ipswich last year. This season it's all to play for.
It's those 4 home defeats that haunt me. Imperative that we up our game at home, even though results have improved since that streak.
