[Archived] Pompey Away

[Exiled_Rover]

We have the worst luck.

[Mr. E]

oh crap. We need Reid back now, we have no more central midfielders left.

[G Somerset Rover]

We're screwed unless Reidy makes a miraculous recovery from his year long injury!

[Oakland]

Axe out, Emerton in...

[John]

A real nasty one by all accounts, such bad luck, especially with the tough games coming up.

[MI ROVER]

oh crap. We need Reid back now, we have no more central midfielders left.

Play samba there with oijer in the back 4 with Nelsen

[philipl]

Bentley and Dunn playing centre midfield and Emerton right wing?

[James No. 7]

Emerton and Dunn playing centre midfield. Emerton has played there before for Australia and can do the job quite well.

First: Long time reader and so on.....and hi!

And what perfect timing! And on top of it all in a LC-game three days before they play Liverpool. Sometimes I think this club is haunted or something.

But still....we're 1 up!

emerton in centre i say

but you can always have tugay and dunn, but i dont think it will match up well with the tough games and mgp on the wing

[Mr Maureen]

WHO IS AXE ?

[roversmum]

No. Bert was in Aaron's place. Looks as if Bentley is struggling now and going off

[Laurence]

No. Bert was in Aaron's place. Looks as if Bentley is struggling now and going off

So is Bert playing in centre midfield?

[EwoodGlory]

WHO IS AXE ?

Mokoena

Bentley now off

[G Somerset Rover]

This is an absoloute joke! What kind of injury was Bents'?

[moerpho]

Bentley now off

What next? Cruz to score? And gettin seriously injured in the process? *sigh*

[Esulx]

Anyone else think we're just cursed?

In Nicko's thread our fans are saying we have enough depth in centre midfield and now we've lost Sav and the Axe to potential long terms and now someone who could play CM (Bents) has had to come off too... and all this before half time!!!

Apparently Bents hasnt trained since Sunday so guess an early knock has aggravated whatever injury that has kept him out.

Quote of the day

In relation to rocky shooting over the bar "He couldn't quite get his leg over there"

Rovers doing more with the ball than pompey but pompey having more of the game. Shame about the injuries but hopefully Bentley is just a precaution.

Ref is having a proper shocker.

[SAS]

hopefully just a precaution maybe because he could feel a niggle?

dont think bentley would risk himself with croatia game coming up

[philipl]

The wierd thing is that we are playing very close to Pompey's best XI excepting two injuries and we are getting all the chances with a half crocked pragmatically chosen team.

Very concerned about the Axe- he set up Benni's goal by the way.

James in Australia was incredibly early in posting that goal by the way. Fully a minute before anyone else had it.

[Cocker]

It was always a joke that we started with Bentley. EVERYONE knew he was in a bad way so it was shocking when he started

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

We were foolish to risk Bentley in these circumstances, I hope The Axe is only is only slightly blunted, we really need him for the next two months.

[Esulx]

About time Papa Bouba Diop was booked... ref not doing us any favours.

Four minutes of additional time to be added. Gamst took a knock but has shaken it off.

HT: 0-1

Shots on target: 0-2

Shots off target: 2-4

Fouls (conceded): 4-3

Corners: 2-2

Yellow Cards: 1-1

Radio Rovers.

Plus sitting right in front of the laptop helps.

[Mr. E]

I just hope some players have trained playing in alternate positions, because we're really gonna have to improvise the next games.
