Brizzle Rovers substitute their keeper Roos in the third minute, and replace him with Puddy. Pompey awarded a penalty in the sixth minute, when Puddy brought down Michael Smith. Smith takes the penalty kick himself, but it is saved by Puddy.

The crowd of 1,200 by the way is a post-war low for a domestic fixture here at Fratton Park. Face.......Bovered.........No !
Evening Woopert. Looks like the attendance on this thread is pretty low as well. I admire your persistence though.
A lovely Kal Naismith free kick, and a header from Amine Linganzi hits the ground and bounces just over the crossbar.
Noel Hunt replaces Kyle Bennett for PFC. So, we are at last playing with two strikers up front - truly remarkable !
Brilliant play by Smith to cross for Rose and Hunt who contrive to get in each others way and both miss what would have been a tap in.
