So far so good -  points a good result.

Chapman and Graham on for last 20 and see if we can take all 3.

My thoughts too. It's a results business and I think that's the strategy today. Let's hope we can pull it off.

[OJRovers]

Mowbray would keep Ronaldo on the bench.

Mbappe would still be in our u23s too.

The  conservative, safety first strategy is frustrating, and we just don't play as well collectively or individually when set up to draw.

Even more frustrating will be when he chooses not to play the Portsmouth starting line-up in the next home game. 

Whilst we are winning, I would start the same team every game and change it around within the game if necessary. 

If Chapman and Graham come on, it will be a good last 35 min.

Can't even string 3 passes together before we hoof it like a mother keaner

[Husky]

Do we have a striker? Where is he?

[Tom]

Bennett off for a dive 

[Miker]

Did Bennett just get red carded for being fouled? 

[G Somerset Rover]

Jesus, will be a battle from here to claim anything.

[JacknOry]

Thats that then - any chance of snatching a win is right out of the window. Two red cards in two games.

[J*B]

Uh oh. 

[Husky]

Well 10 men plays into Tony's hands.

[AdamRochina]

This ref has had it out for us ..What a complete utter keaner

[Pedro]

Oh dear.

[Hasta]

Anyone watching on iFollow comment on whether he was fouled or dived?

[davulsukur]

F@@ks sake, that’s all we need.

[JacknOry]

If it was Antonnsson it wouldnt have made any difference at all.

there's no replay on ifollow. on first look, it looked a foul. ref must have been real close.

[Gogger]

Worst ref in Agnes. Bennett jumped away from an awfull challenge from Wigan defender.

You can go back and see it. Awfull decision.

[booth]

Ready made excuse for the forthcoming onslaught.

[Tom]

Not seen it but if it's as bad a decision as it sounds it sums up the refs in this league

A gameplan can be undone by sheer incompetence of the officials 

[AdamRochina]

Chapman on now after down to ten men haha haha like a bad joke @#/? Mowbray  stopped watching . Joke of a performance and team selection

[Tom]

Not sure I would now be bringing Chapman on - hope I'm wrong there I suppose the logic is hopefully he can stretch them a bit 

[Miker]

The ref just ruined this game as a contest... and right after giving Smallwood an extremely dubious yellow card as well. If there aren't any reprisals over this after the game, this will be an absolute farce.

Bennett was slid in on quite hard by the Wigan player, and passed the ball on to a teammate IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PITCH. It is ridiculous to even make the assertion he dived. We were still in possession...
