Having been turned over at our place by Blackpool ealier in the season with a mix and match first 11 and a sending off. Fingers crossed we can shakle Dembele and CJ Hamilton
I've been watching the top 6 alot recently just seeing how they are doing in the run in. Derby don't try and play out of the back, they are a hoof it forward, play for set pieces. Barnsley and Bolton last night we very up and under for the most part. At least with Pompey we do try and play...
This is the thing. Sides always seem to raise their games against us. We snuck past Carlise, and Port Vale. I would say Oxford won't play anywhere near as good as they did Saturday again this season. Josh Murphy ran rings round us yet has 3 goal involments all season.
To be fair we are 7 points clear at the top, without Regan Poole, Joe Morrell, Alex Robertson Tino Anjorin, Tom Lowery, Tom Mcintyre, and without 2 other cental midfielders, played most of the season without Regan Poole and Conor Ogivile whos probably the best LB in the division. We've well...
Weathered an Oxford onslaught and did what sides who go up do. Stay in matches, defend well and snatch a win. Plymouth did it plenty of times last season. Fair play to Oxford they are full of running and very good at turning over the ball and bang are in and around your penalty area in a flash
Signed Lee Evans until the end of the season. If he's fit great signing. We are down to 2 central midfielders so gives us abit of cover

After midweek results went for us we have to make sure we don't allow ourselves to slip up. Oxford are better than their recent form, however I think teams will dread coming to Fratton Park at the minute. Going for a 2-0
I agree that the refs are poor, we get it every week aswell. McInytre sent off for winning the ball with the Northampton lad going over the ball and breaking Toms ankle was frustrating. We had Sam Allison guessing all game v Cambridge. The stopped match Cambridge V Bolton how your defender...
If it was from the side or front then I think it gets overturned, but it was very poor and from behind, not sure how he thought he'd get the ball from that angle
UPDATE - Overturned
"According to the FA’s laws of the game, having attempted to play, or challenge for the ball, in conceding the...
We've still won the most out of anyone and lost the least and conceded the least amount. Those frustrating draws at home to Chelthenham and Fleetwood, last minute equaliser v Charlton could be a our undoing, but our away form is only bettered by Leicester in England. Think thats 11 clean sheets...
Horrible typical match against a Nathan Jones side. Charlton constantly tried to slow the game down. Admittedly Pompey didn't create to much, but with abit more quality/luck could have got all 3, however 0-0 was a good reflection of the game. Results went for us so we're in a better position at ft.
Can we end our poor form against Charlton? Could be a big weekend of games for the top 3. Derby away to Barnsley and Bolton away to Blackpool. Bar one of the last kicks of the game we were in total control of the match at FP. We'll need to be at our best and take our chances, but we've started...
Cambridge was mostly the same against us last tuesday. Started quite well, then faded badly. Bolton to be fair to them kept going and moved the ball around well. Ogbeta saw tons of the ball but his end product not so great. Collins doesn't look at the same pace as others at all. One thing I...
