3 subs and Hourihane remains on the pitch.

Boos and “f*** off you Rotherham w*****” from the away end

Did anyone join in with you on those chants?

Blimey that vehicle looks like it's taken some hammer.....

Even I had stirred myself to drive up for the match in time to stand outside the players entrance and boo Billy when he got off the Forest team coach.

Warwick services was fun later on comparing notes from the day with various other supporters groups.

Was sat with a mate in the West stand towards the north stand. Right level with Johnny Russell as he swung his left peg for the 4th.....

Well, you could try the classic "I forgot the rings" maneuver and make a clean escape to watch the game.

B4 would have switched the wedding venue to Northampton.

Service at 12. Reception over by 2.00, standing in front of seats in stadium by 2.30.

Come on the Jourdans.....no half-fan measures...👍

0-1. We should be ok enough at the back not to concede. We lack a bit of firepower but I fancy waggy can bag one....

I chuckled way more than is strictly necessary.

Least we didn't get into "on the stroke of half time"....

Oh Ebou bou bou,

Runs the midfield in a 3,

Oh Ebou bou bou,

He is tearing up the league.

With a Liam and a Max, and then sometimes with Korey,

He breaks up their attacks and then sets Dwight Gayle free.

I'm sure you can work out the tune....👍

Let old Moodhoover try to lighten the squabbling mood by opening up a different pointless argument.....

That article said it was our largest crowd since December 2016.

Really? What about the home game v brum after the march.... wasn't that a sell out?

Or one of the f****t games that have been held since then?

Can't be complacent here. Put our metaphorical boot on their throat.

But main thing is not to pick up any more fluffing injuries.....

I thought from the thread title you'd been putting a few pounds on again @David.....

That siding bridge is one of the reasons we can’t expand the capacity of the stadium! Apparently any additional capacity needs to include provisions for better links to the train station. That and a huge ass electrical substation right next to where any expansion would go that needs shifting as well to the tune of millions. 

Yes it's a proper old school stadium which is constrained by its surroundings.

It's amazing how much land is owned by railway companies and seemingly underused. My local station (Eastleigh) has massive sidings that seem largely derelict.

Great result for both of us today. You guys deserve to go up with such amazing support. I honestly can’t wait until we meet in April. The atmosphere is going to be electric with our fans on good form and yours as well who never disappoint. I think we both go up in the automatic promotion places it’s now down to who wins the league. We are blighted by injuries at the moment so I’m nervous for our match and if we play like we did today we could be facing a drubbing. 
 

I’m from Pompey originally but live in the midlands now so I’m pissed by the change to an evening game like I imagine many here are as well. Best of luck for the rest of the season. 

I'm from the midlands but live in Hampshire so I'm hoping to go.

Cos I love queuing over the bridge to get back into fratton station.....

My South Coast fellow ram from near Brighton way is thinking of making the trip as well 👍

When's the EPL decision on the financial breaches going to be made? Seems to have gone quiet.

Interesting today how many fans stayed until the end and even after the final whistle , looked like almost no one went early for a change.

I was home on 0 minutes......

Another cracking game as France edged England.

Sad end with the penalty against Earl who has been outstanding.

Some bad individual errors such as the overthrow at the lineout which got hacked through for a try. But overall I'm more impressed at the end of the tournament than I was at the beginning.

Shame we didn't get to see more of furbank.

PG Wodehouse from the directors box.

Pride Park, that verdant cathedral of sporting prowess, was teeming with eager souls, packed to the very rafters, for this monumental clash of titans vying for the coveted automatic promotion spot. As the erudite young Owen Bradley aptly remarked, one could almost taste the palpable tension hanging thickly in the air, stirring even the most stoic of hearts. Personally, I found myself afflicted with pre-match jitters of such magnitude that I could scarcely bring myself to partake of the morning repast. Indeed, so overcome was I by nerves that I instructed my trusty manservant, Jeeves, to consume it in my stead. The early setback of a hammy for the padel maestro Gayle did little to assuage the anxious throng, yet amidst the tumult, the bobble-hatted Warne, armed with nothing more than his boundless enthusiasm and a penchant for vigorous arm-waving à la Bradley, orchestrated a tactical masterstroke, deftly shuffling his substitute pack like a magician conjuring rabbits from a hat. And lo, it was the wand of Elder that proved the catalyst for glory, delivering a sublime cross to the onrushing buffalo, who, with a flourish of his head , sent the ball soaring into the net with all the grace of a virtuoso pianist striking the final chord of a symphony. Though much of the contest saw the Rams engaged in a valiant rearguard action, the stalwart trio of Cashin, Admirable Nelson, and the Dorian Gray-like Forsyth, aided by the cat-like reflexes of Wildsmith, formed an impenetrable bulwark against the relentless onslaught of their adversaries. With second place now firmly within their grasp, the Rams find themselves masters of their own fate, the jubilant cries of “Ebouuuuuuu” echoing like a chorus of angels as the final whistle heralds their triumph, accompanied by the joyous bounce of victory.

I say! (Tips hat and taps ash from woodbine held in cigarettes holder).

There's the perfect antidote to tension on final score with Chris Sutton and Martin keown droning on with all the animation of cardboard.....

Get in!!!!! 1-0 Kane Wilson from an Elder corner 

Pleased for Kane. Young player, one of not many we've signed for the future rather than the here and now.

According to the BBC stats we've yet to have an attempt on target. Is that right?

CBT ?

Finished mine for the year. Passed every module 👍

To be fair to Paul Warne, I and others have been critical of late subs....too late to influence the game.

So I for one will not criticize early subs.

Anyone know why barkhuizen has been taken off?

4 minutes ago, Caerphilly Ram said:

Not me, Warne’s gone rogue with a triple sub 🤣 

Wilson, Thompson and Waghorn on for Ward, Hourihane and Barkhuizen 

My favorite Subway lunch deal.....👍

Top effort and commitment again from Barkhuizen. 

Seems like a man reborn recently. Looked really rapid vs reading

I'm old enough to remember the must not lose game to Sheff Weds to stay in the Championship. They were having a whip-round in Sheffield for a Fozzy statue such was his marking for two of the Owls goal. Fingers crossed it was a one off. 

The one from 3 years ago?
