It has been a good week for Pompey - three wins, no goals conceded. I did say that Pompey's season might take off once we were well into the autumn. Hopefully the upward trajection will continue. Well done to the guys for turning around their abysmal form and to the Cowleys for keeping their dignity during the difficult times. And the board for not reacting to certain elements wanting the Brothers out without thinking who would come in.

For the first twenty minutes we were hardly in the game and did very well to hang in and perhaps have the better of the second half. I thought Hurst's showing on Tuesday night was perhaps flattering given the standard of the opposition. He proved me wrong! Despite having a very good game I feel that the best may still be to come from Louis Thompson - I think he will be difficult to omit from the mid-field unless hisform falters or he is injured. He injects himself into the game more than Tunneciffe. great result. PUP
