    He’s been really good. I was surprised to see him as the deeper of the 3 in midfield. I was expecting it to be Browne.

    I will take it.

    Been a flat performance though. Got lots of gears to go through.

    Left side as been poor for us. Not looking after the ball. Missing Neil too.

    Think 09, Rigg and Mayenda doing well.

    Tellin yers. If we (both as a club and maybe more importantly as a fanbase) give Mayenda a bit of room to breathe in the first half of this season he’ll fire us deep into the top 6 in the second half.

    Portsmouth are crap.

    If we get at them we can score goals here.

    Although winning , I think I’d still take an away point from this - in the portion of the half that they’ve had the ball they’ve worried me more than Burnley did in entire game

    Jobe making this number 6 time look so easy! Strolling around the pitch as if he owns it. He's come on so much since last season already

    Yeah. Better to be sensational at home and manage to grind out points away, mind:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Alright that. Looked comfortable. Not pressing as high but I think that's because we are trying to force them into playing it long by blocking the passes into midfield.

    We miss Neil. Jobe is doing well out of possession but he doesn't link defence and attack like Neil does and he isn't looking to receive the ball off the centre backs.

    Mayenda doing well. Roberts needs to improve his final product but he looks threatening.

    We’ve grown into this and I suspect we’ll improve in the second half !

    Amazing what a season under your belt can do when you’re playing regular football. Him and Rigg have really stepped up this season
