You obviously weren't at the Hawthorns when we lost 5-0 under Rix (4-0 at h/t). We were on a similar run to now, and unlike now weren't blowing a promotion chance. It took the club another month to bin Rix. Let's hope they move a bit quicker this time. Look what has happened at Burton since JFH took over. A change can do you good.
Oh yes, I remember that game, some bloke at the front got lobbed out by about 5 stewards for trying to throw his pompey shirt onto the pitch, he still managed to do it... cant remember at what point 1st or 2nd half, but me and my mate left, and passed him walking down some street...
In fact of only 2 games I have left early, it was another game at the Hawthorns, another 4-1 I think, it was absolutely freezing, I'd ran out of cigarettes, think Walshy played in Macca for our reply...
But that wasnt a team wanting promotion, Im in the 'I dont think they want promotion' camp
