1-0 at half time, and it must be said, we have played well. Apart from Miles Storey taking his chance well, good first half performances from both Alex Wynter and Nigel Atangana.
Craig Westcarr goal disallowed for alleged handball. The only person in the ground who saw it apparently was the referee !!
We held on for the 6 minutes ! 1-0 victory, and in to the second round of the cup. Well played lads - great win
Hurrrah! The Pompey of the last 3 or so seasons could never have won a match against a team in a higher division
You all do realise that Andy Awford remains unbeaten since he took over from Richie Barker. Way to go Awfs
Well, we won a couple of Johnstone's Paint cup games last season. And didn't we win in the first round of the Carling Cup in our League 1 season before getting knocked out by Dullmouth in the 2nd round? And thank you, Minxy. It'd be nice to go on a cup run as we haven't been on one of them in a while (ignoring the Johnstone's Paint)!
