AlexLaw76 Posted Sunday at 12:59 Posted Sunday at 12:59 Just now, trousers said: Anyone think we should give Scienza more licence to roam the pitch rather than being stuck out on one wing? Too easy to snuff him out when in a fixed position, surely? Then when they win the ball, and they are, Wellington will turn into Manning when being doubled upon
NewYorkSaint Posted Sunday at 12:59 Posted Sunday at 12:59 Great to have Bree back. Matsuki two stunning back flicks. Hoping Stewart can stand up for half an hour at the end... And would like to see Fellows in action. We can do this!

Willo of Whiteley Posted Sunday at 12:59 Posted Sunday at 12:59 Can someone summarise the first half for me? Currently working.
sfc4prem Posted Sunday at 12:59 Posted Sunday at 12:59 I'd just love the chance to see limbs in the away end, wishing I was in amongst it. Come on lads. 1
saintant Posted Sunday at 12:59 Posted Sunday at 12:59 5 minutes ago, Holmes_and_Watson said: We've had easily the 2 best chances, but not much beyond those. Our back 4 look more solid, and organised enough, but Pompey have had more efforts on our goal, and it only takes the one error. As the half went on, the balls to AA became from further and further away from him. When it went high, we looked by design to be trying to pick up the second ball. When low, we asked a lot from him, and there was an absence of support for him up there. We seem, as usual, happy to absorb pressure, without dominating. Fine, if one of the 2 chances goes in. Frustrating when you need to be creating more. A lot of players quite quiet, particularly Scienza. Hoping for more in the second half, and we know the bench will change our style. He's had zero service because Eckert has gone too negative.
Jack Posted Sunday at 12:59 Posted Sunday at 12:59 6 minutes ago, saintant said: We clearly lost the midfield battle in that half and they won most duels and picked up the majority of second balls. Matsuki a complete waste of space - nearly every pass went to a blue shirt. Scienza has had zero service and we are giving them too much respect with this line up. AA should have had two goals from our only two bits of decent football proving that is we play we can open them up. Get Stewart and Fellows on asap. Keeper has done well and come out aggressively for some crosses. Wouldn’t mind us stopping a few more crosses at source. But they they’re just hoping to put it in the mix and wait for our fuck ups. Need Stewart asap and start playing in their half a bit
RedArmy Posted Sunday at 12:59 Posted Sunday at 12:59 1 minute ago, austsaint said: He played Armstrong in, but otherwise another non-involved display from Azaz. Peretz is looking an upgrade on Bazunu. Two great opportunities for Armstrong; Matsuki lively; Wellington and THB up for the battle, but where’s Leo? Hard for Azaz to get involved when the ball is being lumped and bounced around everywhere. He certainly hasn’t shied away from it, can’t fault his effort. 3

saint michael Posted Sunday at 13:00 Posted Sunday at 13:00 Better half than thought it would be a couple of weeks ago. transition from defence to attack is the breaking point, and even when attack has the ball the midfield support is not there when we lose it… so missing winning that second ball. Need to calm it down and make them work harder for it
Andy Hill Posted Sunday at 13:00 Posted Sunday at 13:00 Need the first goal otherwise heads will drop. 1
tdmickey3 Posted Sunday at 13:00 Posted Sunday at 13:00 No sign of subs it would seem. So more hoof ball to look forward to

Lost the midfield battle, can’t string passes together. The 2 decent moves we came up with resulted in golden chances for Arma and he fucked them up. Pompey just smashing it into our box and picking up the pieces.

Harry_SFC Posted Sunday at 13:02 Posted Sunday at 13:02 You could argue 3 of our best players are on the bench. Madness to not start them in the biggest game of the season

coalman Posted Sunday at 13:09 Posted Sunday at 13:09 A good thing about both Bree and Wellington is they're going to put the player trying to cross the ball under pressure. 2
Saint_clark Posted Sunday at 13:09 Posted Sunday at 13:09 Scienza needs to pick it up, he's a passenger so far. 2

He gets the ball and he’s got 2 in his face every time. Our zero experience coaching staff are too thick to see we need Fellows on the other side 3
Saint_clark Posted Sunday at 13:10 Posted Sunday at 13:10 Poor shot from Azaz, Armstrong should have recognised it didn't have the power and taken the touch, turned and shot. 5
