Pleased with this approach, 3-5-2 will hopefully open up more space for Cole and tighten up the back.

Changed this to the 'match' thread.

Big hoof.
Wooten flat footed.
Their player rounds Letheren
Defender clears on the line.
Ball hits crossbar
Ball hits post
Ball hits post again.
Ball gets buried.

Three at the back and still give the opposition acres of space. Letheren caught in two minds so neither came properly nor stay, although to be honest, he'd been hung out to dry by then.

The commentary team very complimentary about Cole's turn & shot, which is fair enough, he did really well to get a shot off at all from a narrow angle, but the real question is, 'where was everyone?' Cole had no option but to shoot because no-one else was even close to the penalty area. The midfield need to push up and support Cole.

I was surprised, and not in a good way, when I saw Philips starting, but he's having a decent game.

Despite the early, comedy, soft goal, we're not doing badly. Still in this.

Philips free-kick

"We know how dangerous Adam Philips can be from set pieces"

Only if you are stood in the wall :cry:

Adam's set pieces have been dreadful all season. I said he's having a better game but I'd still prefer Jones.

Looking alright so far with this set up, still in this game.

Obika looks alright alongside Stockton.

Gibson & Leigh playing well together, Leigh covering when Gibson gets forward.

Not too bad, just need a bit more... or a bit of good luck!

Yeah, we're bossing that side of the pitch all the danger is on the other side.

I like McLaughlin, but I'd rather see Cooney on the right. He gets forward better in my opinion, but still weighs in, in defence.

I do like the formation - it looks like it could suit us in terms of shoring up the central areas and putting someone alongside Stockton. I’d like to see is stuck with it for a run of games.

Wootten off with an injury so Delaney comes on but instead of going RCB he goes CB with O'connor going to RCB, hope this does not unsettle us to much.

How did the Portsmouth lad not get a second yellow? Clear as anything.

We're doing okay now. Ayunga lively up front since coming on.

I agree Gibson's was a yellow, but their lad's foul was worse. Not malicious but a definite booking.

2-0 now. From a corner. what a surprise.

Be tempted to put Barry Roche in goal until January.

Our Goalkeepers are undermining everything.

Completely free header...

...how often do we say that?

We've not looked too bad and Portsmouth haven't looked good, but we've not created a solitary decent chance all game.

Nine points from the next four games, minimum.

Da Silva Mendes even?

:D :lol: :lol: :lol:

We need an experienced, decent keeper in January. Portsmouth keeper is on loan from Man City, and he's a cracker.
