Thought Burton looked a very good side tonight, all the traits you’d expect to see from a Championship team - no surprise I guess. With that in mind it doesn’t feel like the worst result, though the start to the second half was bloody terrible. Matt Clarke and Ben Thompson continue to look far...
It's amazing how one moment can completely flip a game. The three substitutions from Ardley were also a gamble that nearly paid off, so you have to credit Wimbledon for turning it around as well. If the rest of the team could just stay calm and follow Ben Thompson's lead of taking a moment to...
Confounds me that we can dominate a game so much and then become absolutely terrified after conceding one. Game management doesn’t seem to be a strength of ours, despite the fact we just managed to hang on..
edit: On reflection I sound like a moany bugger, we were class in the first half and...
It was undoubtedly a pen. As was the blatant push on Hawkins at the back end of the first half, as was the trip on your player in the second half before we equalised (I think).. so the summary is that the ref was shocking for both sides, not just us. A classic case of attentionitis for Craig...
Awful to hear the news from Barnsley, will hope for good news but it doesn't sound promising if it was bad enough to merit calling off the game.
Fratton Park was a wet pit of pissed off fans for a lot of today, the game was close to ruined by the ref insisting on giving the most menial fouls...
For some reason I’ve become mildly obsessed with finding out how many away fans PSG had tonight, mostly because they were bloody loud. Anyone got a clue?
Think it’ll be a really interesting game but I can’t help but feel like this is where we come unstuck. We’ve been excellent at times but also have had a lot of shaky moments, and it sounds like Boro are the kind of team that could capitalise on those. But with Curtis and Lowe we’re always in...
Don’t think there was anything soft about the penalty, or the absolute bear hug on Pitman that wasn’t given about 10 minutes prior. Or the challenge from Clarke on one of yours, to be fair. I guess the ref was terrified of giving a pen.
We were pretty poor today, there was a very sedate feeling...
We're gonna win 5-1 Saturday, win the league by default because we're massive, and then get put into the Champions League because my mate who'd never been to a football game before said it last Saturday.
Some of us are chirpy.
Ronan Curtis appears to be blossoming into a potential club hero already, his attitude to every part of the game (from our perspective anyway.. essentially he's a dogged little shit) is brilliant and infuriating for opposition fans and players. If he gets through the season without a red card...
Immensive might be my new favourite word Nelson!
Not sure what to expect tonight (Pompey lore says we should lose) but hoping for another performance that builds on Saturday, result aside.
Shame about Holmes-Dennis; what’s the injury?
