Disastrous Red Card again. A poor decision to duck under a through ball caused Jensen to come out, but too far!
From twenty minutes up to half time though Stanley totally outplayed Pompey. We could have gone in to half time 2-1 or even 3-1 up if we just had a little bit of luck on our side.
Half time did seem to disrupt our flow a little bit but we still matched our opponents. The second goal was helped by the extra man as we got players pulled out of position.
When Pompey went rightly down to ten men we got back on top and the substitutions helped bring some renewed vigour to our play. Lady Luck went against us again for the third goal as Toby made a good save which dropped straight at Colby’s feet and he did what he does best! Colby didn’t celebrate his goal though and he got applause from the Clayton End.
He got a great ovation too when he was subbed.
Tonight and the draw at Charlton gives me some real hope that we can stay in League One. More players coming back from injury and there were some great performances from our boys tonight.
Once again IMHO the referee was very poor. No quibble with Jensen’s red card but his inconsistency was so visible when awarding free kicks. I also think he needs to go to Specsavers as he saw things that I didn’t see and missed things that I saw!
Hilarious to see the linesman rolling about on the pitch after he bounced off Coley.
Seriously though it could have come out worse!

Big match, MUST WIN, on Saturday!
KEEP THE FAITH
