Another birthday free day – two in a row – so it’ll be onto the games previously played.
Played – 21
Won – 9
Drawn – 4
Lost – 8
With 9 wins to 8 defeats – the other 4 were drawn – Pompey’s victories to losses ratio is in our favour from the 21 played.
I wasn’t at the disappointing defeat at York last year but do remember it, too well sadly. The game I can claim was the 3-2 win over Bristol Rovers in 2014 at Fratton Park, when we sent them into non-league I think?
What are your memories of McIlwraith from his Pompey days? Also have you taken in any of the games previously played today – if so what are the memories from them too?
