Really enjoyed yesterday's game.
Pompey were really difficult to break down for our ball playing players but the battle was brilliant as a spectacle for 3rd div football.
Kyle Letheren has stamped his mark and I would go as far as to say he is now a first team keeper. He is quick. Agile, commands and can distribute (one minor mistake yesterday). He has now made that spot his own.
Sawyer is just Mr consistent. He always struggle against speed mind but he gets plenty of cover and is the best man for the captain's role.
ASB. I read loads of good comments on here about him but I thought he got over run yesterday. Quite a few overlaps happened down his side and he lost his players. Perhaps I am seeing something different.
Eddy and Cans. At last the CBs are getting it together. I was massively wrong about Eddy slating him earlier in the season. Since his full recovery he has been getting better and better. Cans is the perfect partner for him. Lloyd will struggle to get in the team.
Fox was sublime yesterday. His pass rate is just immense and he keeps the ball moving. When on his game he is so important to us.
Songoo. I thought he was mom. He gets everywhere, dies for the cause and his use of the ball is getting better.
Sarcs. Quietened after his injury but again critical to our team. Not sure who his natural replacement is if he gets injured or that 10th yellow card arrives. When he plays we are 10 yards further up the pitch.
GC10 is getting back to his best. He works his socks off(always will) and his tekkers and goal were brilliant.
Rubes had a quieter day yesterday but still tried to weave and dodge. His tracking back and covering has really improved.
Freddie. Had an off day yesterday. He is very much a confidence player and yesterday was not his day although he won his fair share of balls and tried to link play.
Tayls. I think he is trying too hard when he comes on. Probably out of frustration.
Well done to all the team and management yesterday. After we equalised I thought only one team would win but Pompey are a very difficult team to break down.
Come on, rsp4, admit it. You are beginning to tolerate DA again. I reckon you would put him on gardening leave from August to December and take him back from January to May.
I have to admit, it has been frustrating the last 2 seasons but, maybe he'll get it right from day 1 next season. I hope he can hang to Carey and Lameiras, though.
