Match Day Thread Hull City v Portsmouth

Just got in , been out far too long today with a couple of Pompey fan mates . They were warmly received in all the pubs we went in . Hop and Vine and new Clarey community pub were spot on ! We are in a great position going into the break get a couple of our better players back after the break and dare to dream !!!!

 

If we can't make it happen any other way, offer Leeds Charlie for Joffy.

 

I will remember that, probably not on here enough,

 

don’t be daft

 

Vodka too?

 

One negative is, the 4th officials sub board. Thats the 3rd game in a row it’s broken, I mean does the club own it or does the 4th official bring it, as it’s been faulty all the time. It’s adding needless time to the end of the game.

 

Not to be sniffed at, or…

 

It's a fair point.

I don't know where they got 8 minutes from.

Pandur was booked for time wasting and we made a substitution but the game was over 100 minutes before the whistle blew.

Mental.

 

There was about a 5 min delay at 2 all when their keeper was down, followed by both teams making subs, 8 was a v fair reflection for me

 

Just on Gelhardt, I wouldn't be shocked if we have an informal arrangement in place with Leeds for the summer.

 

Portsmouth seemed to have players going down injured every 5 minutes, it's no wonder we had to play 8 minutes stoppage time. And their players were really animated about telling the physios not to come onto the pitch to avoid the treated player having to go off for a minute afterwards, which presumably must be a significant ongoing issue for them.

 

The great thing about this team is that time and time again we make scoring goals look easy. I'm still not used to it. When a deflected goal flies in early on like today I instinctively fear that the remaining 80 minutes will be a slog with them hanging on and us struggling to break them down, because that's what we've been used to in recent years, but this team keeps avoiding that. We put balls into good areas and players score, and it always looks so simple. Last few years it's always been frustrating watching us put balls into the box and no one ever getting on the end of it. But whatever Sergei has done it's emphatically put a stop to that. Whenever Coyle or Giles are in a crossing position now you really believe there's a good chance we'll score.

 

I've done this accidentally, with it being a digital ticket on my phone i've got 2 adult and 2 kids tickets, nothing to distinguish between the 2 on your phone, have gone in on a kids pass many times

 

Allsopp would have been ideal today
Tbf, it would have suited him

 

love this man! He is building something very very special

 

Even if we don't make play offs we can't lose our heads and tear everything up in the summer.

 

His pondering on the ball is a bit like the bad old days. Someone tell him we have better players now so stop xxxxxxg about. He recently said he misses his homeland, that's understandable if you are finding it hard to settle in. I'm sure when the owner read that he'll try and make everyone happy sooner rather than later.

 

Hopefully they don't decide to increase the price after his performances so far.

He's performing probably beyond their or our wildest expectations.

 

Can't see there being any chance of that, Acun finally has the exciting football he's been after.
