Official Match Thread Portsmouth FC vs Southend United

[Barling Magna]

Yearwood makes a mistake by sending too short a pass, Pompey break and Dru simply can't keep up. Fortunately the Pompey attacker fires wide.

726 Blues fans at Fratton Park, over 18,000 attendance.

We've sounded a lot better this half, Theo seems to be getting stuck in which is nice to hear.

 

[Barling Magna]

Theo's really made a positive difference since coming on, according to the radio.

If anyone else is watching? Wtf was Dru trying to do there? Chap is trying far to hard to last few games, the shop window is distracting him.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Based on BBC stats..we've had 56% possession....guessing we haven't done a lot with it ?

 

[Alex]

Give Hutchinson a go

Hutchinson is a midfielder not a striker, bringing Robinson on suggests going 2 up top

As others have said.decent 2nd half performance.Pity we're 2-0 down though.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

We have had chances but we haven't taken them

 

[mattitouk]

Moore booked.

Any stat zoners keep a note of our bookings, we must have a couple of players close to a suspension?

Now White booked also.

He can play upfront as well

Zero shots on target would back up your claim!!

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

as others have noted we've sounded a lot better second half and the radio commentators have been much more positive about us. too little too late but better than nothing

Moore booked.

White's third of the league season

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

game played in front of over 18,000 fans and they bring on Brett Pitman, just in case anyone forgets what we're up against

 

[southendkid]

Brett Pitman on for Portsmouth, which shows the quality Portsmouth have. They've got a striker that got 24 goals for them last season coming off the bench.

It's taken us about 13 different players in all competitions to match that so far this season already.
