You really think we played well today? I couldn't fault the effort, especially after the first minute sucker punch, but thought we lacked composure when it mattered. Pompey should have been out of sight, but they too played poorly and gave the ball away enough to keep us in it right up to time-added-on time.
If you can take "great hope" from a 2-0 home win against a team down in the basement with us, I don't see why you should despair after a 2-0 away loss to a team who are certainly going to be in the playoffs again.
Fwiw, my m-o-m is Donacien for his charges into their box towards the end of the first half - on the assumption it wasn't his job to be marking Clarke when he nodded in the opening goal.
And for those wanting a change, isn't playing two up front away from home the change everyone's been asking for?
Hey ho. Roll on Mansfield ...
