Re: Pompey.
Cracking game today with two well matched teams, almost like a cup tie at times. Also great to be at Fratton Park with 15,000 passionate fans. First time I've been able to see Stanley in the flesh and agree with F19 that our defence seems really solid. All back four were excellent and I was very impressed with both Davies and Pearson. Haven't seen the possession stats but, whilst I'm sure they show Pompey had most of it, I doubt they will show how much of that possession was spent passing back to their keeper because Stanley closed down so well. Thought Pierro did really well today given that he had two and very often three defenders on him as soon as he got the ball. But goals remain the missing ingredient and, other than a bit more luck or a billionaire investor, I'm not sure that there is an easy answer to that problem. It's a problem most clubs have. Bit disappointed in Mr.McConville; he doesn't seem to have matured that much and was really lucky not to get sent off for wrestling. Luckily the ref was so poor he didn't know whether to watch the second round of wrestling or follow the ball; fortunately he decided on the latter.
Great point, well done to the squad and manager.
