[Archived] Portsmouth 2-2 Rovers

[Exiled_Rover]

Everyone apart from Bellamy is bloody awful at the moment. We are letting them dominate the midfield for some reason so we have no platform to attack from and nothing to protect the back four. Hardly even seen Pedersen and Bentley and as for Dickov...Bellamy might as well be playing upfront on his own.

Did someone not tell them that we are fighting for a possible champions league spot here? Because it sure doesn't look like we are.

I was shocked when Hughes picked the same team for this game - Bentley isn't a right winger so unless you manufacture a crossing opportunity for him, he's not going to put any balls into the box, he's also a liability defensively. Pedersen is up to his usual tricks, he'll probably score again today (hopefully) but otherwise he's non-existant. Dickov was pants on Monday and it sounds like he's pants again....so basically we're playing with eight men, depending on the situation.

Personally I'd have put Emerton in for Bentley at the start because, for all his faults, he puts himself around. Kuqi would have started for Dickov too, but that wouldn't have been too popular

Handball? was it?

From eurosport: "Mendes goes into the book after a challenge on Dickov... the Rovers striker is incensed by that one and he talks his way into the book too!"

Dickov out and Kuqi in, please.

[Ozz]

Dickov off, and Predator on please.

(Pongo that is)

We'd struggle to field a team for half the season

[greggyk]

Pompey almost level. Wake up Rovers(apart from Brad and Bellerz)

[robbojohnno]

Without Bellamy we lose this game but we have him and for that we thank god.

Amen to that. Only he's interested in playing in Europe.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

All Bellamys hard work thrown away.

on another note, i think De Pedro would be more effective than Pedersen atm

EDIT: Emerton on for mgp...about time!
