We’ve been crap away this season (and at home for much of the time) but spare a thought for Rotherham’s travelling support - 35 games without a win since November 2022. Only 4 points garnered away this season so far - precisely the number we ended up with in the dreadful 1979/80 relegation season - 0 wins, 4 draws and 17 defeats away, with only 14 goals scored and 47 conceded.
Strangely despite our poor away record we’ve got 2 wins (Derby and Wigan) and 3 draws (Pompey, Bolton and Blackpool) against the 5 teams with the best home records
Pompey v Derby - twice in a few mins other Derby players have had a go at CBT for not putting a defensive effort in.
Not surprised. If he doesn't sort that aspect of his game out he is going to have a low ceiling. He was pretty much our one creative force so was allowed to get away with more than he should have.
Derby have lost four games (One of those came against Charlton) less than us Portsmouth have drawn five games (two of those of course came against Charlton) less than us.
We really need to find some consistency next season, even then results / performances like Monday will still happen.
Looking at the Millwall fixtures I think 10/1 odds of relegation is worth a pound... They have Huddersfield away and Plymouth last game... Could get spicy... Rather them than Brum.
Burrows (Peterborough) - Mendez-Laing (Derby) - Pack (Portsmouth) are the three names shortlisted for the EFL Player of the Season this year, must admit I'm impressed with whoever has put that list together.
It might be just me, but its felt in previous years, as though they've just picked the top three Goalscorers... None of them have been selected this year, although Mendez-Laing has 23-contibutions (one more than May), and Burrows has 18-contributions.
Young Player of the Year
Ronnie Edwards (Peterborough) - Dembele (Blackpool) - Hughes (Wigan)
Manager of the Year Mousinho (Portsmouth) - Evans (Stevenage) - Ferguson (Peterborough

People of my age have a different perspective when it comes to Wednesday fans.
Hope you are keeping well Gazza.
They play Oxford in a couple of weeks. The winner of that should get the last play-off spot.
Likewise you dear boy
They are going to be very dangerous for whoever finishes 3rd and faces them in the play offs.

Mousinho (Portsmouth) - Evans (Stevenage) - Ferguson (Peterborough
Don't like Evans but got to admire what he's done at Stevenage, just come up and been about the playoff for quite a while.
Ferguson, Boro always in the play off hunt but have fallen short so many times.
I imagine the shortlist was done too early, but the Lincoln manager Skubala surely deserves recognition as well. A ridiculous turnaround.
