In tatters

Just returned home from the honeymoon and this is not the homecoming I was hoping for!
We are playing into Wycombe’s hands and they will punish us if we aren’t careful. They are getting some joy through the middle and in transitions.
However it’s not all doom and gloom. We have looked nervous and erratic, yes, but we have created two really good chances worthy of winning any game, only for NML and CBT to somehow waste them.
A lot of poor touches and unfavourable bounces - is it the pitch I wonder? Perhaps it’s just the two teams lacking composure, but it’s not been much of a spectacle so far!
Let’s hope it improves!

Great shot of the car park on Rams TV there. What a time to be alive for a Wycombe fan - two sold out car parks! 

I am going to take one for the team. Watched us live 9 or 10 times this season and only seen one victory; the scrappy win against Burton iirc. Even though I have nothing to do tonight, I will talk to the wife or watch Masterchef or PSG/Barca and hope we get the 3 points we need. I hope come 9.35 I can log on and learn we have the 3 points, whether through total football, Warneball or total shithousery. 3 points is a must. COYR!!!

The shoes hide the webbed feet.👞👞

Strange, they look almost human.

I am in their club at the ground.

Hope those of you going have a great time tonight, I'll be watching Rams TV from behind a cushion!

If you can't even spell 'actual' correctly then I think you may struggle anyway ...

I’ve got an actuarial exam tomorrow and this game tonight.
God help my heart rate this evening.

I may be in here some time. I hope there are supplies.

This annual thread is one of this forum's proudest traditions. Love it.

Let me in !!!!!!
 

Thanks and yeah we’re getting there with social services and fostering, edging closer to completion.
The Mrs has her personal assessment next, just done mine where they build your autobiography. Couple more after together.
3 more Solihull parental course sessions and we’re off to panel.
All pointing towards being approved as foster parents as the backup plan, with the SGO order being plan A.
The boys are great, settled right in and now pushing the boundaries to see what they can get away with 😂
Been a real into the deep end with a 2 and 3 year old with no parental experience. We’re doing alright though, they are happy, healthy and heading in the right direction.

This isn’t a bit of the forum that I’ve visited very often, not least because we’ve been doing really well on the pitch, so I’ve only just read this. Firstly, I’ll join the widespread praise you’ve both got @David and secondly, how’s it going (if you want to share)? 

Enjoying it, Connor speaks very well, he was just on 
 
it’s very much about everyone who works there, all the behind the scenes folk - very interesting 

Couldn't find his way off the inner ring road.

This team have played their hearts out. Sometimes we stuttered, sometimes we looked “off it”, then confused then “on it” and buzzing. We turn up and it’s hard to know how we are going to do. Unpredictable I suppose, but as a group they have done what I like and that’s play for each other as a real team, giving all of what they have to give.
For me … I want a Cashin header to seal it. That lad really does leave everything on the pitch including the mint sauce. 

Such a heavy pitch it’s a salute to all players that their fitness levels can achieve such good football throughout. I genuinely was concerned when the ball sometimes slowed up that it could be A-A. I’m tucked up now and very content. Listening to the rain in Stockport that I think has arrived from Pompey! 

Ah yes, a solid point away from home this evening so of course you’ve rode in on your horse to be dismissive about yet another result for the club you allegedly support 🙄 
 
We created and scored 2 goals, they created and scored 2 goals. It was a draw, a deserved one. 

Firstly, what an enjoyable game of football. Was a pleasure to see Derby as a part of that and matched a very good team at the top. Pompey will win this league, we can take confidence from our performance tonight into the last four matches.
My only gripe, with my derby bias, is that I felt they got a few favourable decisions in that 10-15 minutes before they scored which helped peg us back into our own half and made us get deeper and deeper. But also, we didn’t help ourselves and seemed less and less comfortable. You didn’t think with 30 mins to go we could defend like we were and hold out because we were loosing shape too often and not getting the ball into their half for any length of time. 
Aside that, I can’t tell you one player who I thought played poorly and Warne got his tactics spot on. I can’t put it simpler.
I’ve said a few times, one thing Warne has done really well this season is that every player has contributed to a key moment this season. Tonight was Joe Ward’s turn, he’s a big game player and he showed it tonight. Still think Blackett-Taylor may yet still get his before the season is out.
Thought it was Adams best game, another who thrives to the occasion. Smith is maybe our most underrated player.
Finally, four great goals. I don’t think we can analyse the ones we conceaded too much and neither can pompey with ours. Both sides have a bit of a weakness at full back and both sides were able to take advantage.
 

Fair point, but can’t we just be pleased about an excellent performance and point tonight?

Find me someone who, at the start of the season, wouldn’t have accepted the scenario we’re now in and I I’ll find you a fool.
