That's weird. I could have sworn that Southampton were 2 leagues higher and selling out a 32,000 capacity stadium, whereas Pompey can't quite fill their 20,000 ground. Also, Saints have been in the top flight all bar 11 of the last 50 seasons, whilst Pompey have only been in the top flight for 8 of those seasons. Pompey and the Saints have each won the FA Cup once during that period. Those other honours you mention of Pompey's were an FA Cup in 1939 and two league titles in the late 40s. OK, they might have been the bigger club at that time, just either side of the Second World War, but let's face it, they have no claim to be the bigger club in the modern day. It's a ridiculous statement. What they do have, though, is massive potential and a huge fan base for the division. That cannot be denied. Portsmouth have won more honours in their history. Even in their recent history, they won the FA Cup in 2008. Their highest attendance is 20,000 more than Southampton's. That is what size of clubs is based on. No it isn't  That's just an arbitrary stat that you've based your opinion on, and that highest attendance was in 1949! Does it not matter that Southampton now average over 10K more or that they are two divisions higher? |

That's the weakest looking bench we've seen for some time. Yeah, and Broom is the second most Rovers-experienced player on the bench. |

Hobson's choice though given we don't even have another CM, let alone DCM, on the bench tonight? Although I think it's not fully recovered rather than not fit. |

Although I think it's not fully recovered rather than not fit. Could play Partington there and Brown at LB? Or change formation? Point being if it was affecting him that much then surely he wouldn't be getting constantly picked? |

That's the weakest looking bench we've seen for some time. Yeah, Broom is the second most Rovers-experienced player on the bench. Broom has made 7 appearances from the bench whereas Broadbent has had 3 first team starts this season. Depends which one you want to call the most experienced I suppose. |

A 70% fit Ollie Clarke is probably better than a Lockyer or a Partington as he knows the discipline of the role much better. Obviously Lines and Sercombe in a central midfield 2 is a non-starter, especially away. |

Depends which one you want to call the most experienced I suppose. Well, if I'd said Broadbent, someone would have said Broom. The point I was making is that the second most Rovers-experienced bloke on the bench has hardly any Rovers-experience. Had Brown been playing instead of Bola, it could have maybe been the most massively Rovers-inexperienced bench in history. |
