I thought Bragg was tentative up until the red card. Looked nervous on the ball and yeah I think the occasion got the better of him.

I thought Manning put in some very decent balls today - as you say no one seemed to attack the right areas.

Not sure they mustered up one clear chance if we're honest. A few promising situations and lots of shots from in and around the box but all way off target. It was as comfortable as you're likely to get playing with 10 men.

Very good EFL striker and a proper decent guy.

As much JWP has been decent since he's come back - I can't help but feel we've got to have Jander back in CM with Downes. Thought Jander was class as soon as he came on today.

He certainly missed the clear foul on Azaz which in turn led to the poor tackle by him.

He would've been sent off if we weren't already down to 10, I'm sure. Not that it should matter. Must admit Pompey are in trouble this season. I know they've got injuries but they looked very poor all round.

What a week for the fans and for Tonda. Thought his in game management was superb today. Should never have started Bragg but I'll let him off for that.

Thinking back to that home game last season. Long balls up to 5 ft Cameron Archer. Just ridiculous. Play our football and we'll have too much for them.

Can't say I'm surprised. Generally he's failed at the majority of the clubs he's managed. His best season was our Championship one and even then we should've done better than we did. His tactics don't work, it's as simple as that.

Agreed. Given Matsuki on the other side isn't a natural wide player he'll more than likely come inside more so we don't want Scienza doing that too.

And that is going to be extended even further. If I'm being honest I'm going into this hell of a lot more confident than either of the two games last season, that's for sure. Unless we do something stupid like get an early sending off, I think we win this one comfortably.

I doubt they will. I'm not sure how much it's in their interests to keep this going on for any longer, especially given we've already received plenty of other punishments.

Whilst some of his decisions in away games have been a bit dodgy I don't really blame him. It's more the recruitment who left us with not a lot to come off the bench.
