So the question is, do we risk him?

Yes, if you think we're stronger with him in.

[Dr. Feelgood]

Maghoma seems to be a booking every other game. Similar to Thomason.

He needs to calm that down. Only he can prevent the silly ones.

As we know, the collection is wiped clean after about mid-season but we're a good few games from that.

I get being tempted not to pick him to save a suspension for the two major opponents but, for me, it's too far away to play that game.

[TrickyTrotter]

Thomason has managed to go a few games without a booking although been a tad fortunate on a couple of occasions.  Maghoma needs to follow his lead.

Presumably Dempsey makes the bench on Saturday, so when Maghoma is suspended, he risks his starting place.

Thomasson was booked in the most recent game

I thought it was harsh

[marple whites]

Need 3 points however they come in readiness for the 2 aways. (Would settle for 1 point from each or win 1 lose 1)

Yes forgot he was the only player booked in the Stockport game.  Don't think it counts towards his league tally.  He's on 6 in the league.

Think he got away with one against Shrewsbury.

 Match 19 is the cut off for a one match ban for 5 cards, so Maghoma's got to avoid one in the next 3 games.

I know it's 19 for the Premiership ... exactly half way through their season. Is it 19 for us too ? Or 50% ?

I've searched but can't find it.

Yes 19.

OK, ta.

I reckon we‘ll be top by the end of the weekend. Pompey draw, Oxford draw or lose.

Just win Bolton!

I've been thinking that not all the top three will win this weekend.

No specific reason, just a feeling.

[paulhanley]

We've had a big purple patch, strung together wins and clean sheets and looked decent doing it. Then there was an international break with players scattered hither and thither. Can we come back and pick up the threads of it all again? If we can then the team has a great culture and good habits and they're powerful things when you're targeting the top two in a 24 team league.

We’re not used to that thing called positivity are we? 😂

Certainly don't want to tempt fate!

My "feeling" is that one or both of the top 2 could slip up.

We've got to capitalise on any opportunity. 

[Biggish Dave]

We're going to wallop these. 4-0

Only twice this season all 3 of Bolton, Oxford & Pompey have won on the same weekend.  12th August and 30th Sep, so every chance it won't happen this week either, we just have to do our bit.

This made me giggle :

I've heard Bolton have requested a postponement of the game until they have time to fit a scoreboard that goes past 10 !

And this: "I just can't see us scoring and Bolton getting anything less than 3 goals - but lets be positive and just say a 3-0 loss"

got 1-0 Exeter written all over this then

Sadly yes, it has.

I've never seen such a pile of negativity though. Top whinging 👏👏👏

[Cheese]

A professional performance required tomorrow. No mercy. No foregone conclusions in this League.

Out with a couple of Exeter fans now. They think we will muller em

[Zico]

flashbacks to the last time we entertained Exeter

biggest crowd stood outside the ground during covid expecting to clinch promotion, fucking it up, then it all kicking off

hoping to avoid a repeat

Exeter have beaten 5 teams this season, Carlisle have won 2 games other than v us and haven't won away elsewhere.....

Are they season ticket holders though?

I’m confident of a 3-0 win. Although the last time I felt this confident was the Carlisle game.
