Is Stamatelopoulos a potential bolter for the Asian cup? Lad is only 24 and has heaps of confidence

How many of his goals were penalties though?

Yengi’s hold up play looks way above the league

on the down side he misses a very gettable chance

Yengi uses his strength to get through on goal but his touch is heavy.

needs experience to get that touch extra composure

he then is held in a full nelson by the defender and the ref mysteriously says it is fine :D. Referreeing is weirder than the spl

meanwhile petersborough and bilakovic are in the auto promotion spot

In the spl not watching today but atkinson and rowles are up 2-0 against celtic

hibs passing stats are really growing, and miller got the first half.

LMao you've watched one League one game and announce this. I've watched every Portsmouth game this season and League One overall I'd say is better. Better ball skills, better positioning, better fundamentals. it's hard to compare because Portsmouth play proper football and also are basically a championship team but still the opponents are solid as well. A-League is too counter-attacking to be considered better than League One. I'd say A-League is more physical but technically and with ball at feet League One surpasses. Portsmouth would ruin every A-League squad.

What makes you think ive watched one league one match this season?

watched a bit over a dozen this season just from portsmouth but more in other seasons. Technically the a league is ahead of league one imo.

Parma played most of their game with just 10. They maintain a skinny lead on top of seri b and circati with a full match

would love them to get promoted

Watching oniell

might switch if garang comes on, though ive never seen a side as hapless as volendam. I think they would struggle in the ereste divisie (did they lose players after getting promoted or something?). They have so far treated garang well so hope they see better days

According to fotmob 2/7 are pens 

So still five goals in eight games for a team that's 8th is worth a discussion

How do you figure that? Yengi was average at best in the A-league, and I would say is above average in League 1. I feel like Australian football has to stop holding a candle to lower English leagues.

That keep up arricle about garang might have been misinformed but it was also accidentally prophetic

with the change in style and formation i dont see garang starting as his defence isnt good enough to concentrate in a deep block for long periods of time. He probably still gets subbed if they are trailing at the hour mark. but if it is even or they are ahead they probably sub on defensive players

Wouldn't mind a winter breakaway and loan to League 1 or 2. Lots of football there.

It's hard to tell because there isn't a big difference in player quality between league one and A league like there is between EPL and Championship. The A league is probably more technical and tactical whilst league one is probably more fast and physical. If you slowed it down to A league speed it would probably seem more technical. The league one clubs have bigger budgets so the reality is they can afford to buy better calibre players.

Irvine starting. Metcalfe & Iredale on the bench. Pretty important game for St Pauli - last game for a month & Top of the League at stake.

Ends 1-1, with Iredale scoring the equaliser. That's all he could do to mount his case for the Asian Cup.

Couldn't watch but very happy for Iredale. We've got to squeeze him in somehow. Maclaren has to be out but he won't be. Fornaroli is surely now in. Duke and Yengi definites. How's McGree coming along? Might see that spot open up but I hope not.
