EFL 22/01/25 - Championship tonight

Plymouth really signed their own death warrant this season. Rooney was a bad enough call (though I do admire his persistence) but to follow that up with a foreign manager that knows zilch about English football is quite spectacular.

We just need 2 others to capitulate - Derby look to be first in the queue.

Pompey just don't look like a relegation side. Strange how things evolve.

Maybe Rooney wasnt doing such a bad job!!

Plymouth players showing no fight.

Pompey 3-1 - they have looked good every time I have seen them play, actually I watched the game Away at Stoke where they were a shambles. Think they will stay up. Really hard to pick who will go down

Paul Warne has a terrible record in the Championship. 2 wins in 20 I think they are in real trouble.

Whittaker not in the Plymouth side either tonight, looks like he’s probably on his way, Burnley want him so maybe that’s going to happen!

Disastrous night for them! Wonder how many fans they’ll take to other end of England on Saturday?

 

[Peterdev]

Plymouth look gone so that’s two places left.
I’d love Portsmouth to stay up. Great fans and encounters

Pompey are ok at home, but have a poor away record. Plymouth have 3 away points, Luton 4 and then us, Portsmouth and Derby all have 7.

I do wonder if there is something in it that the promoted sides are some of the poorest away from home. It's such an intense league and the home advantage/away disadvantage is perhaps magnified at this level. Who knows.

I’d like em down but they won’t. So smug after the Murphy debacle and generally entitled. Them and Luton would be a dream.

Was someone singing 'Manning, Manning ball. Manning, Manning ball'?

Absolutely agree

Interesting that Sheff Wed v Bristol City has 5 former Oxford players in the starting 11s.

Beadle, Johnson, Dickie, McNally & Sykes

Loving all the new interactive features you've added. Gotta be the best football forum on the internet surely?

Only Pompey v Stoke & Plymouth v Burnley matter to us. Come on Stoke get one back lads!

We are only a point behind Norwich, and two behind Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday

5 behind Sheffield Wednesday as it currently stands.

Pompey at home are a good team now I think. Not good away though like plenty others.

 

[Marked Ox]

Penalty.

Cheers but I was making a reference to us not getting any.

Ben Wilmott of Stoke helped off injured after a horrible tackle that deserved a red.

After watching the game, I don't know whether that's good or bad for us if he can't play Saturday......

Our forum is second only to Luton, absolute work of art that.

I want this place to be more than just a forum, useful info too.

I think on balance it is most likely Plymouth, Luton and derby for the drop but stoke are also a chance given what people have said about viveash being the brains behind robins. That is playing out already, just shows how perception can be so different to reality, maybe it really was all viveash and robins is just a face.

Three behind Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday at the final whistle. It would be great to finish above Manning.

Add Portsmouth to that. They are still in the mire.

They had a real tough start to the season fixture wise. Well they have got to play all of them again.
