Match Day Thread Pompey v Shrewsbury Town

HT Harogate Town 1-1 Havant & Waterlooville

 

Which team is second in the league? I suppose the reality is that there is not a lot of difference in the quality of the two teams. Are Shrewsbury a physical team in the sense that they allow teams very Little time to pass the ball around. If Pompey can find a passing game, I am sure they will go on to win.

 

Subs for the second half - Close and Wheeler on for B Thompson and Andre Green

Midfield being over run - too much direct to Oli Hawkins, which never works well, he needs it played on the ground.

 

Did just see a tweet saying we're playing against L2 tactics with a L2 Ref. Just someone's opinion loike.............

 

Attendance: 17,634 (281 away fans)

 

Crowd trying to cheer the team on - sounds like the Shrews might go away with the points here.

 

I get the feeling that if Shrewsbury take the lead they'll park the bus. If Pompey score first a 2nd and 3rd would soon follow

 

Ben Close is making a difference according to those watching the game, much sharper

 

Harrogate have taken the lead against the Hawks.

Gilliead goes down in the box under Brown's challenge and cries foul, but the referee isn't interested (61 mins) #pompey

So close. Thompson whips in a fine cross and Evans' header is heading for the net, but Coleman gets there to push the ball clear (65 mins) #pompey

 

Brett Pitman on for Oli Hawkins

 

Harrogate 3-2 Hawks
Harrogate went 3-1 up on 57 mins but Kabamba has notched his second of the day to reduce the deficit on 63 mins

 

Shrewsbury 1 up - following a mistake from Christian Burgess

 

Not that it's much consolation, but Southend have equalised against Peterborough

 

Very risky challenge on Pitman but Ref not interested.
