Sorry about delay in starting a thread, but on holiday down in Devon, and just been out for lunch, and a walk afterwards.

Damien McCrory was injured in the 8th minute, and went off injured in the 21st minute, to be replaced by Dion Donohue.

Pompey scored in the 41st minute with a header from skipper Brett Pitman, who headed home Nathan Thompson's cross.

 

1-0 to Pompey at half time.

Reading through the BBC Sports report, it would appear that apart from Damien McCrory being injured and having to go off later on, both our strikers Brett Pitman and Conor Chaplin had to be treated for injuries on the pitch.

Is it just bad luck, or are the opposition players a bit on the rough side ? Only one first half booking, being for Cian Bolger for a bad foul on Stuart O'Keefe.

 

Second half kicks off.

Fleetwood substitution - Conor McAleny replaces Aiden O'Neill.
