We got a big something.

So well done, Steve.

And let's hope that the 72 are wrong again.

For various valid reasons, nobody from Pompey Sound was able to get to the Millwall game.

And since we feel it's important that we do talk to somebody who watched the game, we contacted one of the Mussino family, certain in the knowledge that they were there en masse and have a good footballing brain.

And sure enough, John Mussino's dad, Gordon, was kind enough to fill me in on his views.

First of all, what...

are his main takeaways from the Millwall game.

Yes, those last two names that you mentioned, these are, politely, they're seniors.

Yes.

And now they're bringing their seniority, both of them.

Swift, it's very recent.

Marlon Pack, I suspect it's simply always been there in him.

Yes, his argument there, I've seen, is that speed was never one of his great strengths.

I didn't know he'd played alongside John.

That's new to me and probably new to quite a few Pompey fans.

No, and they click, don't they?

Because if ever there's a moment he has the opportunity and he's on the pitch, Marlon will come over and have a word with John, and one sometimes isn't quite sure who's telling who.

There'll be a queue for the ice bath.

Can I ask, what do you make of the new boy?
