All the way. That cup is as good as ours. It'll be the morale boost we need to ensure Championship survival, then kick on and enjoy the Europa league next season.
Interesting true fact Did you know that Lawrenson has the most friends, family and acquaintances suffering from narcolepsy in Britain?
He's probably looked at our record down the years against Portsmouth at Fratton Park. According to the Chronicle, we have won once on our last twenty visits, losing thirteen since Glyn Riley secured a 1-0 win in 1980. The only victory in almost four decades was a 3-1 score line in March 1999 when John Hendrie was our boss. Hignett, Dyer and an og accounted for our tally. We have only played them once before in the Cup. We won 1-0 at home in 1907. If tomorrows game is a draw, the replay will probably take place on February 4 th or 5th. The draw for the 5 th round will take place on BBC 1 TV at 7-20 pm on Monday 27th January 2020.
Team with less than half a point average away from home in the league this season being tipped to lose to a team flying and with home advantage. It isn't hard to see why Portsmouth are being tipped to win.
Never liked the guy. Will never forget him (understandably) tipping Barnsley to lose at Anfield in the Prem and the entire away end singing ‘are you watching Lawrensen?’ at the press box after the final whistle. Happy days
My bad 2nd divison and missed automatic promotion by 4 points I think. Almost 30,000 in Oakwell for the replay, wonder what Colin Walker's doing these days?
Colin Walker is presently a Technical Development Officer at the Doncaster Rovers Centre of Excellence a job he combines with being Assistant Manager of Notts County Ladies.
Seriously, if you Google ‘Mark Lawrenson’, Google adds in the word ‘gay’ as if it’s the most popularly searched question about him. I don’t know either way, but you, my friend, are clearly not alone in your chain of thought.
