Match Day Thread EFL Trophy Final - Pompey v Salford City

Half time whistle goes, and it's 0-0. Salford have been by far the better team, playing good football with a number of shots on goal. Craig MacGillivray has been our saviour with some fantastic saves to deny them a goal. Can't believe we are still on level terms.

Wonder what Kenny will say to the players during the break. Would like to see Ronan Curtis on as soon as possible, as at least he can run with the ball and put in good crosses into the box. Ryan Williams has probably been our best player so far in the outfield, but Craig has kept us in the match !

Richie Towell got a yellow card for a foul from behind on John Marquis.

 

The lad up front, doesn't know how to time a run. I still think we will win.

 

Pompey bringing on Ronan Curtis, Lee Brown and Marcus Harness for the start of the second half, replacing Jordy Hiwula, Charlie Daniels and Harvey White.

 

He's taken him off, probably just as well.
