Stevenage and Wigan, two rivals of Portsmouth, were given penalties

League One news: Stevenage and Wigan were fined, and Bristol Rovers announced a loan deal to Portsmouth.

All the most recent news from League One as leaders Portsmouth widened their lead at the top of the standings Portsmouth maintained their strong start to the season with a spirited 1-0 victory over Carlisle United.

Conor Shaghnessy was his team’s hero in extra time, and with his crucial goal, Pompey is now three points ahead of Oxford in second place and eight points ahead of third-place Barnsley as they pursue automatic promotion.

Portsmouth plays Reading and Cambridge United on the road twice in October. Here are all the most recent headlines pertaining to Portsmouth’s League One rivals in the interim.

Ruben Selles is under increasing pressure since he won’t “point fingers” for the loss.

Portsmouth has had an incredible start to the season, but Charlton Athletic, who have now gone seven games without a victory, could pose a challenge later on. Reading suffered a 4-0 defeat to the Addicks and have yet to earn a single point when on the road this year.

 

 

With their last away victory being on November 12, 2022, The Royal are on the verge of breaking an unfavorable record. Ruben Selles’ tenure in the dugout has been incredibly challenging, but he wants to avoid a “culture of pointing fingers.”

 

“For 60 minutes, we demonstrated that we could compete with anyone,” he remarked. However, we need to play the game better, have a stronger mindset, and be more ruthless in both boxes.

Selles is under pressure to turn things around at Reading, and before facing Portsmouth, he must win a key bottom-of-the-table match against Fleetwood.

Stevenage and Wigan Athletic are penalized severely

Earlier this month, when the players got into a brawl during a League One game, Stevenage and Wigan Athletic made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Both teams acknowledged that they were unable to manage player behavior. Wigan received an £8,000 sanction for their acts, while Stevenage received a $3,750 fine following a hearing.
