Sunderland - On a roll now. Got players coming back and momentum. Still vulnerable in defence, and will be exposed against the best.
Just stop there. have you examined the GD and our league position? So who are these 'best'?
Rather silly summation of the state of play so far.
 
I’ve watched 2 Portsmouth games live at there place this season and they were poor both times. My mate is a season ticket holder and even he was slagging their fans off, really odd whingey fuckers. I liked the ground but it’s an absolute shithole. The manager makes some very odd substitutions too. Was talking to the lad next to me and he seemed to think they’d rode their luck and would implode st some point.

Portsmouth have the highest percentage of sexual offenders per square mile than anywhere else in the

You post like bad billy.
 
I think you'll find a lot of the Pompey fans don't rate us at all and quite dismissive of our chances.

Great news for us. The more people that underestimate us the better.

Personally I think little Luton are a team to watch, sneaking up with form almost matching ours. They had a poor first three games - 1 point from nine, finding their feet in this League. They’ve played all the top teams. And they’ve been without their best striker for some of those games - back now with a scoring rate that matches Maja (goals per min). Play offs at least imo - impressive for a club in L2 last season.

Dumbest thing he's said all week. The only team Pompey fans don't rate and are dismissive of is Pompey.

For the top 4, Sunderland are clinical, and should go up bar losing key players for a long period of time. Peterborough are flat track bullies, but won't challenge for promotion, Barnsley should be challenging for automatics as well, but seem to be too dependant on Moore. We're solid, but need a better striker in January to guarantee promotion.

Top three will be Pompey, Sunderland and Barnsley, but wouldn't call top two until after we've all played each other and the January window.

Arguable that we already have....mcgeady just back from injury, watmore out, our 'big money' striker Wyke injured and Power who made a massive difference missing more than he has played.

End of the day teams are where they deserve to be as it will be at the end of the season, some good units up at the top of league and Portsmouth are clearly one of those. I think that squad depth will be important and being able to keep players fit will be more important for the other sides, to an extent we are already showing we can cope with that.

Its a long haul and I hope we can keep delivering results as we are at the moment.

I'd argue Maguire and McLaughlin are your main players to keep playing, although I'm sure you can cope without them as well!
