Yellow card to Omar Bogle for pushing away Scott Golbourne, and catching him in the face. 52nd minute.
Attempt missed. Anthony Grant (Shrewsbury Town) left footed shot from the left side of the box is close, but misses to the right. 61 minutes.
If it stays like this, our play-off place is assured bar the Maths, and the way Doncaster and Peterboro are playing, they are unlikely to win all remaining matches in the locker. The conundrum is - do PFC try and chase down second place and fall short, and use up energy, or conserve their energy levels for the play-offs? I think it is a state of mind. The pressure is on those teams ahead - Pompey can relax and play good football. The only thing I would ask KJ to do is drop Isgrove and bring in Dennis, particularly next week as he contributed so much to Pompey's progression in the Checkertrade Trophy competition. I feel he would be hard done by if Vaughan and aforementioned loanee are ahead of him.
0-2 now, with a Brett Pitman goal from an Oli Hawkins pass. Brett's 9th goal of the season. 79th minute.
Wow!! Very happy!! Try to keep a clean sheet Pompey. This is the kind of form to go into the play-offs with. If we finish 3rd, then Charlton is off the menĂº for now.
