Pompey v Bristol Rovers

1-1, deflected shot of N'Gala. Hopefully we can get the lead back.

 

1-1 now

 

Sub for Rovers.

 

2-1! Back in front. Against the run of play it seems like.

 

Danny Hollands

 

2-2. Damn.

Well, at least its an entertaining game.

 

Pompey fans getting nervous - can hear the Gas fans loud and clear.

 

Bristol Rover's play carded for time wasting.

 

Awfs needs to give a real motivating HT talk to get momentum going in the 2nd half.

 

2-2 half time.

 

3-2. Fogden during what seems like Pompey's first sustained offensive of the 2nd half.

 

Johnny Ertl on for McCabe.

Might shore up the defence a bit, it's been slightly fragile so far.

 

Taylor off to a standing ovation and subbed by big Pat.

 

Ricky Holmes MOM.

Danny Hollands played a brilliant game as well.

Shame about the Ref though.

 

Victory again. Effectively this should keep us safe in the league.

 

Put's us 14th in the league on goal difference. We still have an outside shot of finishing inside the top ten.

 

At 14th with 54 points.

Just about safe - 1 more point to make sure I think.

 

Aaaaaaaaaaaah! What a game! First half fairly close, though their goal came from a harsh deflection. That knocked the stuffing out of us and took us a while to recover. Their second goal happened so quickly I barely had time to note what happened!

First 10 or 15 minutes of the second half, we seemed to have a half-time hangover, as did the fans. But then we tightened the screws and we deserved the win just about.

I'm sure Bristol will stay up.

Also some good tunes, Simple Minds, New Order, New RRadicals, nice.

When was the last time we won 4 in a row?

 

Feb/March 2011 - 6 on the bounce under Steve Cotterill. I think game 7 was a draw.

 

Bravo Zulu.
