Pompey sub Callum Johnson on for two goal Ronan Curtis. 81 mins. Johnson at right wing-back and Mnoga moves forward.
Alex Bass tips out a good strike from Rush for a corner. He then does well at the set-piece to deny Taylor’s header. 90 mins.
Final whistle, and it's 0-3 to Pompey "Reserves". Sounded like 18 year old Haji Mnoga had a really good game - a good prospect for the future.
Let me add my thanks Woops. Good result - no injuries - gives confidence in the depth of the squad. Couldn't as k for more!
Tell that to the 40,000 Pompey and Sunderland fans who went to Wembley. Tell that to the SFC fans who won it in 2010, to the Wolves fans and so on. We know the priority is promotion but I feel Pompey enjoy it as it is a reléase from the pressure of League football. It also provides funds that the club needs to become self-financing.
Tbf, the competition only became a joke when B-team entered so I'm happy for Southampton and Wolverhampton who won it before it was devalued (and I'm slightly envious of). And for those saying it wouldn't lead to B-teams in the league, just today, some dude at Man City was saying the current covid crises could lead to B-teams in the league.
