    Dubious ref allowing Pompey fouls time after time. Even their commentator said so.

    Even allowing for two stoppages for injuries, where has ten minutes come from? I would have expected five or six minutes based on the usual approach. Kovacevic was down for about three minutes, Nunez barely even one.

    They’d be applauding that as a tap tackle in the six nations

    Holy cow - for all the good work and domination (for the majority of the game) - we got away with that (somehow)

    Really disappointing to have again let the momentum swing against us from minute 75/80 - the same thing happened last week.

    Got the win, can’t take that away, but not at all convincing. Work to do Manning.

    Goalkeeper kept us in the game with an unconvincing away win. Some of the new boys still need time to get accustomed to this league.

    Good 1st half, but the subs changed the game in the 2nd.

    Darling with a goal and a rugby tackle, what a game he had. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Utter crap as soon as Nunez went off.

    Nobody in the midfield up to task of holding the ball and creating.

    Passing so poor. We can't be this reliant on 1 player to hold the midfield together.

    As soon as the subs came on all that size suddenly started being a negative because nobody could stop the barrage coming. The midfield looked static, slow and unimaginative.

    All the goals we have scored this season have been gifts through poor defending.

    Not good enough, this team cost alot of money, too much for a team to keep hoofing the ball clear and lose posession stats to one of the worst footballing teams in the division.

    Rubbish.

    I think we have a new doom goblin!

    It was a good 3 points, good first half and team needs to improve its fitness

    Are there things that need improving yes, but good 3 points
