Oh, yeah.

We don't really have any.

And now we've lost Shaughnessy for a few weeks.

We kind of feel that is an area of concern.

I suppose it is.

It is, yeah.

And it is for almost, as it was last year, almost every team in the Championship is either looking to see if they can get into the playoffs or they're looking over their shoulder thinking, could we get sucked into the bottom three?

I mean, you look at the table as it stands, as we speak now, Pompey are just outside the relegation zone on 30%.

Six points up from us is Swansea, who are 16th.

You go another six points up from them and you're into the top ten.

You're up to Preston and Stoke around 9th and 10th.

So it's still very tight, it's very condensed.

But if we can just keep churning out the home wins that we have been getting, maybe the odd away point here and there, then we can stay on the right side of that line.

But the chances are we're not going to know.

We're going to go into the final month of the season.

not being safe by then, I would think, along with a lot of other sides.

And there'll still be nerves to be shredded after that point for us and quite a few others as well.

We wouldn't want it to be dull anyway, would we?

It wants to be a mid-table all season.

Year in, year out.
