Mucker1884

2nd highest rated player overall in League 1, let alone just defenders (based on OPTA data)

Maybe Joe was a bit lucky to escape a yellow but I thought yet again he made 2 top class saves to preserve the point , the resulting free kick and the save from Saydee in the 2nd half , as for the 2nd Pompey goal , no blame attached to Joe for me 

Thought he was lucky to go cardless after that early bodge chasing a lost ball that was only ever curling and swerving further away from goal. 
Should have stopped early and returned empty handed, or at the very least changed the plan late, and punted it out for a throw.
I feared a red card if I'm honest.  He was well outside the box, slippy conditions or not!  
Phew!  
 
... And I've seen a few comments re their second goal, and how he should have saved it.  Personally, I thought he was unlucky, as he got half a hand to it.  
If keepers saved everything, there'd be no game to watch!  

I don't recall... but having just Googled the fixtures, it was followed by...
4-0 at Spurs... home loss to Brum... 6-0 at Anfield... I think it must have been around this time that doubt started to... oh... but wait... what's that you say?... Newcastle at home.?.. We're saved!  Hoorah!  Bring on The Arsenal...  🤣

Yep.  And 4 days later, on the way out of the CoM Stadium, having only lost 1-0 to Citeh, I thought "I REALLY think we'll do alright this season"!  🤣

Adams Park Stadium
Wednesday, April 10th – Kick-Off: 19.45
Still a full week to go before another match to savour, this time against a club who can sensibly lay claim to having the greatest car park in all of football. So, what is there to say about L1’s perennial not-so-nearly men? Well, they have a fantastic chairman don’t they! Who else would be magnanimous enough to name their ground after our legendary midfield destroyer, Ebou? More to the point, how did he even know Ebou was coming to Derby? Clever chap, I suppose, which is probably why he now owns more ambulances than the NHS. As for Wycombe the town, well some brief research shows that Wycombe is notable only for being surrounded by places that are not dumps. Also, for weighing its mayors to see whether they have been getting rich on the public pound. Oh, The Cornetto Trilogy too, for any Hot Fuzz fans out there.
Moving onto Wycombe FC, well what can I say?
No, really, what can I say?
Oh, alright then! Their Wiki bio states that Wycombe Wanderers Football Club is an English professional association football club based in the town of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. Founded in 1887, they entered the Southern League in 1896. Despite being around forever though, they’ve won the square root of feck all and in 137 years, have only managed to accrue around 7,000 supporters. I’m no maths whizz, but by utilising my trusty abacus, I’ve calculated that at their current rate of growth, they will hit Derby levels of support in only 508.86 years. Something to look forward to, then.
Key Threats
Well they are two-fold and to be taken seriously; firstly, there’s the threat of legal action and secondly, there’s a very real possibility that they’ll attempt to hoof half our team into the stands. Fortunately for us, we’ve already paid them out, so they’re now feasting on the bones of other clubs in financial strife. Also, their stands are tiny and their team is rubbish, so if any Wycombe player does attempt to half-volley Liam Thomson into the North Stand, he’ll probably miss it altogether.
On the pitch, after a seriously deep dive, the only threats I’ve come up with are Luke Leahy who has amassed 8 goals and 6 assists this season from @40 starts, Dale Taylor with 5 and Joseph Low with 4. I was going to visit their forum to try to discern some interesting insider titbits for you lot; team strategy, injuries, pie quality and the like, but I immediately realised I’d rather eat my own vomit, so I didn’t bother. Feel free to have a gander yourselves though.
The Team
I think we’ll likely see the same starting 11, or very close to it. Fortunately, we now have the aforementioned Ebou Adams, so when they kick us, he’ll kick them back. Several times each, probably. That said, I think if we play our own game and don’t get sucked into Wycombe’s peculiar brand of anti-football, we may well win and win well.
And sadly, that’s all folks, as the pub beckons and in truth, I’d not really counted on us getting past both Blackpool and Pompey and have nothing else prepared. A final note though, for away supporters looking for things to do before and after the game, might I recommend a trip to Henley, Marlow or Windsor instead?

BE MORE B4

You didn't actually answer the question 😏

First off, go back to line 4, and ditch the word "Fault".  Ain't no place for that sort of talk in here!  
Secondly, big up to you for opening up on a public web page.  It ain't easy, but it is healthy!
I did the same (different forum) back in 2016 when it became apparent that our granddaughter was highly unlikely to survive to a live birth, due to a rare but full on ("Edwards") Syndrome.  (As it happened, given the odds we were given at the start, we took much solace from her making it through, and sharing a whole hour with us all, before taking her leave and heading for the stars.)
To this day, I have absolutely no regrets about going "public", and took great comfort from the best wishes (and subsequent condolences) from my "on-line friends".  Never bottle it up, and never be afraid of opening up, whether that be to professionals, close family, or even complete strangers on the internet.  
From this point, all we can do is offer our own best wishes to you both, and keep our fingers crossed for you.  Even the minutest of percentages have been known to be overcome. 🤞
It appears you pair are together as one.  Keep it that way, and you'll conquer anything and everything, regardless of how severe things may appear at any given moment.  Stay strong FOR each other... and WITH each other!
All the best to you both.

Surely it's Juan Mexicans opinion?😉

OK, please forgive my ignorance as I thought handball outside the area was a red card. In any case it would have been harsh and I think the ref was right in allowing for the conditions rather than see it as a deliberate act.

Hi, Pompey supporter with our take on lasts nights game. I think the weather made the game less of a spectacular affair but the players, from both teams, put on a really good display. I thought Derby adapted to the conditions better than Pompey where the conditions negated the effectiveness of our wingers Lane and, especially, Kamara. I suppose you could say the same for Blackett-Taylor & Mendez-Lang, both players I would have liked Pompey to have signed. I think Derby quite possibly had the greater attacking threat on the counter in the first half whereas ours was a little laboured due to not being able to adapt to the conditions. I read with interest of the disagreement with your managers choice of the tactics in the second half. However, without a wonder goal he may well have got it right. Closing players down in those conditions was risky as slipping on the surface could let players in. Portsmouth usually play a closing down game but not so much last night. I think overall a draw was a fair result last night which probably benefits us more than your lot. 
I think the controversial situations were fairly evenly spread out. There was a handball leading up to our equaliser and I think VAR might have ruled out our first goal. Handling the ball by the keeper is a sending off offence normally but I think the ref got it right by allowing for the conditions. I don't think it was a 'nailed on penalty' because I think our player was looking to go down anyway, but on another day it could be given.
I thought it was a proper game of football from two famous old clubs. It was good to see the ground full with a decent away following that made themselves heard, which is normally difficult at Fratton Park. The game, allowing for the conditions, was a good advert for League One where both teams look ready for the Championship. 

I went onto the bank’s site and there was no reference to the transaction at all. I have given details to the club so will see if anything happens
 

Thymus be delighted!

It’s not so much the sentiment of the posting but more the bluntness and the timing. FFS, we were all pretty chuffed at battling for a well earned point away against the table sitting top of the table (I think most of us were proud of the lads last night) then someone has to post a message like that.
If the post had been made before the game, and been a little more subtle (for example, “I worry about how these two teams will survive in the Championship without some major surgery ….blah blah blah”) I don’t think it would have had quite the reaction as the actual post did.

a tad frustrated that we lost a lead twice... but no way is a draw a bad result.  
A cracking first half as a spectacle, and an almost classic away holding job second half.  Nervy throughout, and kind of relieved in the end.
If I'd have read the script before kick off, and new the outcome, it would have got a massive thumbs up from me. We may not have strictly played for a draw, but that draw may be the point that takes us over the line.
A very, very good night.
Well done, Super Rams.
 

Thought he was lucky to go cardless after that early bodge chasing a lost ball that was only ever curling and swerving further away from goal. 
Should have stopped early and returned empty handed, or at the very least changed the plan late, and punted it out for a throw.
I feared a red card if I'm honest.  He was well outside the box, slippy conditions or not!  
Phew!

Have you considered storming off in a huff, never to return?
That'll learn 'em!
