We've lost the lead 4 times at home, resulting in 4 draws, and 5 times away, resulting in 3 defeats and 2 draws.

Burton have only lost the lead once at home, resulting in a draw, and twice away, both resulting in draws.

Shrewsbury have only lost the lead once at home, resulting in a draw, and 3 times away, resulting in 2 draws and a defeat. 3 of those 4 games were thrown away due to goals in the 90th minute. The other game they lead 1-0 before going 2-1 down only to grab an equaliser. They were 2-0 up to Exeter and lost 3-2 thanks to another 90th minute goal.

Interesting stat of the day: Shrewsbury have lost 1-0 away to the top 7 sides.

Wycombe have lost the lead 3 times at home, resulting in 3 draws, and 3 times away, resulting in 2 draws and a defeat.

Points lost from winning positions:
Burton - 6 points (3 draws)
Shrewsbury - 9 points (3 draws & 1 defeat)
Wycombe - 13 points (5 draws & 1 defeat)
Southend - 21 points (6 draws & 3 defeats)

Southends record for points lost when leading says it all i think ,no need to explain where we could be on the ladder even if we had lost just 13 as Wycombe have

I should think he'll stay if we go up and leave if we don't.

7 votes, that gives clear picture of how 15,000 regulars feel then.

Writing about me at 455am seems obsessive !

Whether I attend games has nothing to do with you,If you don't like my view,then why bother reading it?

I stated on here 2 year's ago I am unable to attend midweek games,nothing has changed !.

Remember this is a message board,it's not life or death !

Was it Oscar Wilde that said "there's only one thing worse than being talked about, and that's not being talked about"

Take it as a compliment :smile:

Haven't read through the 10 pages, so apologies if this has already been mentioned:
According to www.thesackrace.com/teams/portsmouth Brown is 6/4 favourite, with Gary Waddock quite a way behind at 5/1 second favourite!.

What a Pony looking fans website that is. Seeing these awful looking sites makes it even clearly how amazing SZ really it. The owners have made it a quality website and I doubt there is a better Fans website in the country

It really doesn't matter! They are interesting stats but no more. What is important is how many points we gain in each match. It's completely irrelevant which order the goals are scored in. You get no more points for coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2 than you do for leading 3-0 and ending up winning 3-2. Either way it's a 3-2 win and 3 points.

The stats say Wycombe are 8 points better than us from winning positions, and Shrewsbury are 12 points better than us from winning positions, yet we are only 5 and 8 points respectively behind those sides in the league table. That must mean that we are more productive than them in the games where we haven't held winning positions, which must be a positive, right?

Can someone remind me what the odds were for Brown to get the Palace and Bolton jobs?

For Bolton he was 4/5 (Taken from the thread in October).

Brown is the odds on favourite with them at 4/5.

Interesting find on sack race.com Nathan Jones 3rd fav for Pompey job is that the Welsh wizard or another Nathan jones

When all this rhubarb was first aired I was more than a bit worried that the wheels would come off against Newport. Obviously that didn't happen, in fact it was probably the best I have seen the team play this season. Until it is factually confirmed that PB will be going to Portsmouth I'm inclined to think it just won't happen and the team will steam-roller over the finish line in third place, auto. Would he take the job then, I wonder?

The former. He's desperate to be a manager according to an interview last year. Said he would "die for the chance" or something like that. Big ask as your first job that though... surprised he didnt get (or apply for?) the Newport job.

I'd quite like to see Nathan Jones back as manager, though I fear he may have been gone too long

Couldn't disagree more. Football isn't won or lost on statistics, it is won and lost by human beings who react as human beings and not robots. Our statistics show that either we are mentally weak, because our record of clean sheets and mean defence means that there shouldn't, statistically, be that number of points dropped once we are ahead, or our manager is making the wrong tactical decisions and/or substitutions once we do go ahead.

I know what my money is on.

Are you on the wrong thread?
