| Match Summary | Pompey trying desperately to escape the basement have not won away for four months and Laidlaw’s goal is a poor first-half return, but tail-enders Alex, reviving under ex-Stoke boss Tony Waddington (13 points from 16 since he arrived), grab a point after Ellis’ error. Colin Garwood goes to Shots this week (£50,000) and defender Alan Garner arrives (£60,000 from Watford). Two well known names in the Alex line up in Bruce Grobbelaar and Mark Palios - former FA Chief Executive and current owner of Tranmere Rovers. |
