Will we play up at Pompey (aka the greens for scoggy)

I actually quite like the line up

 

Walton making simple errors.

 

Nice football from Town so far if no cutting edge yet. We look in control so far, just a little bit sharper please.

 

Nsiala has made several poor touches so far. Looks a bit off the pace. Walton has also had a few nervy moments

 

Wish Edwards would get that final pass in after running rings.

 

That barge from Edmundson is a perfect example of exactly the lack of quality we can improve. Handing a cheap opportunity to score to Portsmouth on a plate.

 

I do like Aluko, very assured.

 

Bonne pounces again, you beauty, great time to score!

 

Yes, get in!!

Bonne scores after robbing the keeper

 

Get in!

 

Scrappy but deserved Town lead.

 

Great, 0-1 Town at half time.

A game of back to front football and quick closing down from both sides.

Nsiala is obviously only there to head and defend as he passes to Edmundson every time to let him start the attack. Edmundson is playing well, he's strong and combative. Edwards hasn't done much but he has good close ball control and skill. Aluko has a good first touch, but comes inside often. Bonne robbed the goalkeeper for the goal but still had plenty to do as it nearly ran out behind and he had the composure to check it back inside and thrash it high into the net.

There have been too many little mistakes at the back, mostly made by Toto and Walton but so far it hasn't cost us. Edmunsdon's yellow card wasn't a yellow but just the ref trying to level up the card count for some weird reason.

More of the same without the errors should see us to a win. I like the way we saw out the final minutes after scoring.

 

Bonnes is showing exactly how much he loves playing for his home town club. He is always up for it and just has the passion that nobody else has.

 

Chaplin scores!.....and doesn't celebrate out of respect for his former club.

Great early cross from Donacien bombing forward

 

Brilliant!!

 

This is the best I have seen Town for some years. Clean sheet now please.

 

Lovely simple cross from Donacien, Chaplin sides it in. Now for the 3rd, push on get the killer 3rd.

 

2-0 lead. What could go wrong?

 

It's down to them loan players

 

3-0
