Smith has had a very decent career considering how often he had to move early on, all those loans suggested to me that he was struggling to cope away from the North East.

Could a statto tell us how many goals we have conceded when Saydee has not been on the pitch vs when he has? I can think of at least 9! Defending from the front should not be underestimated. Subbed today and SW scored. Just saying.

Team for Sheff Wednesday game tonight are Brentford so nothing to do with us, but that's the Pompey mention covered.

I've just watched Don Goodman delivering some nowadays typical punditry on Sky. Firstly he forgot the names of the Wednesday players he was about to talk about, so after a moment's struggling opted for 'some other quick boys'.

Then he twice said they'd only recently reached the semi finals of the EFL Cup and described the euphoria. Apologies if I've checked this wrong, but their last semi final appearance seems to have been 22 years ago.

Then he said he knew Wednesday well, having covered them when they were in the Championship. Not sure who beat us in the Championship Friday, but obviously it can't have been Wednesday.

Back to keeping it Pompey, those Goodmans shirts were good
