    What a win. After the first half hour improving our goal difference was far from my mind. Fear of reducing it seemed more pertinent!!
    The way the game turned in favor of Pompey was remarkable.
    Special mention to Norris. When I have seen Jordon Cross's 'out of ten ratings' in the 'Snooze' Norris is frequently given a 7 in games where he hasn't made a mistake, or sometimes not even a save, because of the quality of the defense in front of him. He has often not had the opportunities to excel.
    Well in the first 30 minutes yesterday - and on a couple of occasions in the second half - he had opportunities to excel and he came through with flying colors!!!
    Kamara's three assists also highlighted a quality he has that has been apparent in several games. He has the ability to beat his full back in a dribble. Many wingers that have that ability dribble with their head down and do not see the pass. Kamara sees the pass alternative to the dribble and also seems to be able to combine the two by beating a man -which stretches the defence - and then finds the telling pass. We should make every effort to retain him if we go up - even if the odds of success are against us.
