Pompey vs Saints - Sunday 1200

[adrian lord]

Are we being intimidated by the "cauldron of passion and naked hatred" of Notarf Krap?

[trousers]

This is going to be another 0-0 isn't it?

[Saint NL]

Matsuki looking to make things happen

I don't see that at all. First game was a damp squib. This one has something about it.

[tdmickey3]

The inbred don't support their team the Just scream and dribble at our players

Christ you are miserable as sin. Are you Alpine in disguise?

[Saint NL]

Survived that pressure, we need to get control again

[Colinjb]

Great challenge THB.

[trousers]

Great challenge THB

[Sheaf Saint]

I really hate to say this, but Pompey are clearly the better team here. Tonda needs to change something. If we're gonna persist with hitting it long then FFS get Stewart on.

[Osvaldorama]

Brilliant tackle THB

[John Boy Saint]

Got him!!!

[Saint_clark]

Bishop can fuck off that was a great challenge.

[Saint NL]

Loved that tackle by THB

Thought they loved that kind of 'Pashun' down there.

[macca155]

It isn't that bad, every derby game is like this. All nervy and frenetic. Players are human they know the stakes are high.

It will calm down and the Pompey defence is definitely creaky .... as is ours

He’d need to be on the Joe Aribo diet.

[obelisk]

Get to half time with a clean sheet and I'll be happy enough. This time we need to win the 2nd half though.

[Hopper]

Peretz has been gassing up his defence every opportunity he gets. Big presence.

[Osvaldorama]

Great tackle Azaz 

[Pilchards]

What is our game plan?

Pumped the ball 30 feet up front and keep the ball away from our only decent player in Leo.

[Saint NL]

Azaz 😂

[Ed Rooney]

Just fuck off azaz

No just honest, sorry that I don't have your rose tinted specs on

That was a tart’s challenge.

[Saint_clark]

Don't mind that from Azaz. At least he looks up for it for once.

[bpsaint]

Get Charles on in the middle

It's a fucking derby game when we're both at the same level it's never gonna be easy.

[Harry_SFC]

Azaz a total passenger again

[John Boy Saint]

Is Downes even on the pitch?

Wasn’t either in 11/12 when we were top most of the season and they were bottom three and about to go into admin.

I saw him flick his hair back a few minutes ago. Haven't seen him with the football though.

[Saint NL]

Bree has done well apart from a few dodgy early crosses

All this talk by Tonda about playing on the floor was bullshit, its just hoof to anyone

Boro fans did warn us he tends to go missing in the big games. None bigger than this.

[Convict Colony]

absolutely no out ball so it's just us defending now, need Stewart on and fellows who can hold the ball.

[obelisk]

Well at least Leo should be fresh for the 2nd half. He's hardly had the ball this half.

[AlexLaw76]

He has been involved as much as Leo, probably more

[Saint_clark]

Ogilvie throws himself to the ground and the ref gives a free kick against Matsuki for a high foot. Fuck off.

[coalman]

That was never a foul.

[Hawkswood]

Think Im seeing this half differently to a lot of people. Its a derby, so there'll be a  lot of blood and bluster from the home team, but I actually think we look solid and having a keeper who can clearly command his area is a massive plus. We're showing the only bits of attacking class. Pompey huffing and puffing.  The only problem I have is that Tonda has clearly given instructions to get it forward asap to stop them shutting us down, problem with that being we cant hold it up there without stewart and therefore also bypassing our midfield.  Other than that Im quite happy with the first half. Just my opinion obviously. 

 

[SonicBoom]

Tbf we've shown some bottle and don't seem to be shrinking which was a concern beforehand 

[Pilchards]

Is this the Pompey team that gets dicked by everyone and playing with their top 4 players out.

Fucking hell Saints how low have we gone!

In the first game, it’s the only time Pompey can claim to have had an egg head, because his head was a right mess.

I agree but not totally his fault this time. Ball being put over the midfield

[Harry_SFC]

Don't forget they've got half their team out injured...

[Saint Matty 76]

No control of the game whatsoever.

Matsuki has had some nice inventive touches, to his credit. I'd still get Fellows and Stewart on ASAP.
