Would be funny if they both were relegated.Sheff Utd only lost 10 games the whole of last season and are now on six losses after six games with only 1 goal scored.
You can almost write them out of the autos conversation already. Hopefully the playoff conversation soon, then mid table, then staying up.
But many on here would be raging if it was our player and he passed up the chance to score. Think how many times players fake injuries to stop certain goals or attacksJust seen Wednesdays second goal. Pompey player pulls up injured when clearly getting the ball and the Wednesday player picks it up and scores.
I dont think it was very sportsmanlike at all.

I’m not sure it did. We were beating Ipswich 1-0 away in the 70s when the floodlights failed. The match was replayed and we lost. A couple of years earlier than that we were 2-0 down to Sheffield Utd well into the second half. The game was abandoned due to a water logged pitch. The match was replayed and we won 3-2. I’m not sure there has ever been a case of the result standing or a replay from the minute it stopped.It's terrible really if they make them replay the game 11 Vs 11 from the start. Damages the integrity of the competition. Imagine Ipswich win and Blackburn go down by less than 3 points. Or what if Ipswich beat us to promotion by 3 points. That late in the game it should stand (always used to, but doesn't seem to be the case anymore).
Placheta has been trash as well then hits a top bins screamer2-0 Oxford. Both very good goals.
Only us and Boro unbeaten now right? Shows that's a decent achievement even after only 6 games in this league. It's a complete slog and all games are tough.3-1! Great result
Just 2pts off the auto places!
And hull and Oxford showing our draws not been terrible results Vs shite teams. But fact we dominated both shows big picture we are a damn good team in this league

In a good season you'd still expect to lose 10-15 games. Important that all people, especially yours truly, keep that in mind when games don't go our way.Only us and Boro unbeaten now right?

I can’t think of a single game ever where a result has stood?
Actually there was the infamous Battle of Bramnel Lane and thats the only time it has happened
Surprisingly limited demand for itBlackpool v Huddersfield. Granted the score was 0-0 at the time but there was never a replay of it.
You would imagine the 1-0 will stand
Blackpool v Huddersfield. Granted the score was 0-0 at the time but there was never a replay of it.
Grendel knows best come on manAll the talk in the media is that the 1-0 will stand.
Obviously quite far down the pyramid but the NL South match between Weymouth and Yeovil in 23/24 was abandoned after a medical emergency in the crowd on 75 mins. The result stood (1-0 Weymouth).I can’t think of a single game ever where a result has stood?

Not worried at all.I’m pleased that we remain unbeaten and have enjoyed our best start to a season for a few years. It’s good to see us playing attractive football and scoring a few goals.
Am I being too optimistic though, when you consider that we are (a) already five points adrift of Middlesbrough and (b) only ahead of Millwall on goal difference.
The next game against Brum is surely a “must win”
Hope you’re right, but wish we’d had a few confirmed signings through the door before letting Sheaf and Rapha go. Then again I know Sheaf’s been very injury prone of late and we probably couldn’t have received any more reasonable offers for him.Not worried at all.
Too many people look at the table from last season and compare the results from last season. Hull was seen as a bad result by many but they're looking like a top half club. Who would have guessed playing Sheffield United meant 3 points? 1 goal in 6 games. I had them as 8th to 12th because of the manager and poor signings but I was still a long way off. Those who have played a Sheffield side have had an advantage.
Middlesbrough won't keep getting the results. You can't compare us at an early stage with a side with 5 wins and a draw. We've just played what could well be one of our hardest games of the season. Away to the only relegated side doing anything good and we came away with a point.
We're also playing great attacking football. Just 1 more goal in any of the drawn games would have had us in 2nd and only 4 points behind Middlesbrough. I'm sticking with my pre season prediction of 2nd to 4th although Ipswich who i thought would win it just can't get going. I know it will come down to luck with injuries but that's the same for every other side.
