Milton Keynes 2 Morecambe 0 LIVE thread

[Keith]

No Wildig, although he's on the bench.

Someone remind me what results we need from the other games, it's too early for me to logic it out myself.

Gills 1-0 down

Gills 1-0 down

Beat me to it! Come on Pompy!

[Keith]

After a Phillips free-kick fails to beat the first defender...

"Not what you expect from Adam Phillips set pieces"

Err... yeah, that's exactly what we've come to expect from his free-kicks!

[Born again Bill]

Our own worst enemy ! .

[Keith]

Got to admit it was a superb goal, but how does a defender dribble from deep in his own area with no-one trying to make a tackle?

[Redalert1970]

Good 1st 20 minutes then far far to easy for Mk to score

Woeful defending

Come on Pompey

[dannymorc1]

Where were the defence? What a soft goal to give away!

[Born again Bill]

Fleetwood losing

[dannymorc1]

Great save by Carson, but the defence looking ragged!

[Keith]

Phillips is having one of his numpty games Gave away possession very weakly on the edge of our penalty area, leading to a dangerous shot, and good save from Carson. He needs to get his head on, too important for a passenger.

[Born again Bill]

Gills drawing

[Keith]

Milton Keynes are in control at the moment and we're struggling for the last ten or so.

[dannymorc1]

We're under the cosh. Being pulled all over the place in defence. Our brief ventures forward are snuffed out because we don't get men out of defence fast enough.
Portsmouth 1-1 Gillingham. Not good!

[Keith]

Derek given the fourth official an earful!

[Redalert1970]

Get Phillips off for Wildig

He as been woeful woeful woeful

[Born again Bill]

Phillips having a mare . Need a change for second half !

[Bristol Shrimp]

Pompey retake the lead

[dannymorc1]

It's going to need a tremendous change to get anything out of this game. Can't rely on other results, goal difference is going to count a lot, keep the score line down.

COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS. NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER NOW.

[Redalert1970]

Half time

Pompey 2 Gills 1

Mk 1 Morecambe 0

Fleetwood 0 Wombles 1

[Keith]

Portsmouth 2 Gills 1 late in storage time.

I think Wildig is carrying a knock, otherwise, I'd agree, Phillips has been very poor.

[dannymorc1]

On every one of our rare attacks they have 2 or 3 defenders around the player with the ball. No chance of a pass and the attack breaks down. When they go forward it's fast and they have men over.
I hope that Derek can come up with tactics to break them down.

[Redalert1970]

Mk Dons not been great but they are 2nd for a reason

[scalehallshrimp]

So if scores stay as they are we are pretty well safe unless ship load of goals at mk
