I do fear a fourth straight defeat, but you have to be positive. I’ll settle for a point though.
Will def be a toughie hope to see us turn things around and get something we need the confidence boost and St Marys is a hard place to go as WBA found out.
Tough One This, If you’d Played Them A Month Ago I Would Have Given You All Three Points, I Think You’d Be Happy To Settle For A Draw Now?
From all of us at Pompey. Have a good go at the scummers, we’ll be with you all the way.
