[Archived] ROVERS v Portsmouth

[Tom]

Mowbray livid at Raya who just took a man on when a pass was open

[JacknOry]

Oxford Rotherham looks a game and a half - 3-2 already there.

 

Wigan just eqaulized though :

[McClarky]

I think we struggle to score because we have too many defensive minded players in midfield and don’t get enough men forward.  Smallwood and Whittingham are good but if they both play I don’t think Bennett can play, we need someone who is getting in the box more.  

[skous18]

can we sign/buy Chapman in January, how dose that thing work?

and do we have any chances of signing him permanently at all?

I would imagine there will be Championship clubs after him. Our only hope would be to get there ourselves.

[Tom]

He's out of contract in summer so think he'll have plenty of options 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Chapman made a big difference this half.  Dack doing well as well.  

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Like most teams in this leagu Pompey have little threat.

[Exiled in Toronto]

I quite enjoyed that half. Much less of the sideways buck-passing, we are getting stuck in and that was a cracking goal - haven’t seen a player of ours  run at a defence like that since Duff/Noel. And for the first time since Brad, when the opposition have a shot I am expecting our keeper to save it.

[McClarky]

Bloody hell it looks wild down there. Warm and sunny up here.

[Tom]

Yes great goal GRaham

Brilliant by Bennett, brilliant by Williams and superb from Graham 

Much more like it 

[Gogger]

Get in Graham!

[Blueandwhitemike]

 

Excellent goal from Danny Graham, quality finish after excellent play from Williams, finally a really good pass

[AAK]

and that ladies and gentlemen is why you play Danny Graham. Also so much better on counter with Nyambe and Chapman, it's really added to our game

[McClarky]

Another great goal.

[AAK]

Danny Graham has been brilliant today, some of his touches, and his football awareness have been exceptional, and his goal was taken well, and he has worked his socks off

[West Yorks Rover]

Chapman subbed, let's hope we don't start sitting back, Brett Pitman just come on for them, he's always a danger.

[Tom]

We haven't played since the second goal 

May be work to do yet

Very true

[AAK]

Feels like we are playing right into their hands here, 3 best attacking players off and seem to be sitting back now, we should have gone for more

Thought he was poor apart from his goal. Silly substitution taking Chapman off, and now our other best player,  Dack off. We'll be hanging on for 15 mins now although the weather is starting to make it impossible cor both sides. A lot oc standing water on the pitch. 

[Tom]

The 3 lads that went off were all great today, Dack especially linked up with them great

Could do with this rain calming down before my walk up Livesey branch road

[philipl]

If we don't take 3 points now, there will be hell to pay for those substitutions.

Silly subs them for me also, I just think he shows some class when combining with Dack, far better than Samuel

[Paul]

An awful lot of water on the pitch. Have to hope the referee doesn’t have any stupid ideas.
