Proud of the lads for that second half. Brilliant performance with 10 men and a massive 3 points. Can't pick a man of the match because it goes to the team. Great to see Jander back. On to Norwich and Tonda will have to look at who is going to be fit because that was a brutal game. Yesssssssss!!!!

Decent win in the circumstances. Might have been a few more but for the red card. Bragg will be gutted but at least it didn't cost us.

Saints much more likely to score a second than Portsmouth.

They had a cross-shot cleared near the line…and that was it. Leo had an effort well saved getting clear. 

Azaz outstanding, as was Flynn. Defence did very well, Peretz tidy handling although no genuine saves to make.

Skates very poor.

Cam Bragg a lucky boy. Time to get fitter and sharper if he wants a career at this level. With Jandar fit, his cameos had better be excellent.

In hindsight playing Azaz up front was a good decision, he held it up and won loads of free kicks.

they didn’t really threaten at all did they in hindsight although it doesn’t feel like that at the time. 
 

most relieved man in the stadium will be Bragg. Had we kept 11 on the pitch I’m pretty confident we’d have blown them away but a great, resilient performance in some ways more satisfying. Great to see the lads properly getting stuck in. 
 

Downes and Azaz joint man of the match for me. Azaz just oozes class and Downes was magnificent

It was never going to be a great second half, in terms of playing. But what a good half in terms of determination, positioning and team effort.

Pretty much everyone had their moments, whether holding things up, smart passi g, good positioning or important tackles.

Azaz was probably the standout, popping up all over the place across 90+ minutes.

Every win is important in such a league. But extra lovely in the derby, in getting back towards the top and in putting a tough spell behind the scenes in the past.

Tonda got that second half bang on. Brilliant tactical work, brilliant work from every player on that pitch after we went down to ten men.

Bragg will either break or make himself from here. Glad his red card wasn't definitive. The occasion did get to the local kid.


Shoehorn didn't put a foot wrong, every player put their body on the line with controlled aggression and commitment. Azaz was a class apart. 

And, giving Bree license to go forward with JWP covering..... gave him space to write himself into our folklore.
