Exeter City vs Portsmouth Match Day Thread (7.30pm KO)

[sign of the chimes]

Pompey lose to Cambridge tonight.
Maybe they overdid it

Or Cambridge won by an offside goal again !

Cambridge were the better side this evening and deserved the win - we weren't at the races much like the second half on Friday - but for a larger portion of the game. Really impressed with Cambridge putting in a decent shift tonight so soon after such a big result for them on Saturday, I was half expecting them not to turn up. Mark Bonner and co. have done a really good job there and they exemplify that if you build a cohesive unit to get out of L1 you don't need massive financial resources to hold your own when you get there. At which point you're only one decent campaign away from the Championship.

In theory, that is true but the reality is it's very hard for the smaller clubs to get near the top of League One without significant financial assistance.

Yikes; I would have wagered decent money that Cambridge wouldn't turn up last night; though perhaps players see their opportunity to play in the next round(s)!
