Genuine attempts to play the ball that result in a penalty are now only yellows, have been for a while.

But if outside the box, it’s a red

Great, we need a penalty to score a goal 

Expand  

If it helps us get a win and some confidence then so be it. 

Remember Ruddock's to end that long streak without a win?

[Saint NL]

Nicely done.

 

Anyone know why JWP seems to be off duty for the dead balls? Armstrong took a corner and Bertrand had a free kick earlier.

After Tella gets hailed down in a great goal scoring position. 

[skintsaint]

what a let off. shit defending.

[Captain Jack]

How long before they mention points thrown away from winning position?

Indeed. Our first choice defence is overrated.

[doc oli]

Tella has been fouled 5x already

[The Cat]

Tella's been fouled more in this first half than Grealish has been all season.

[Saint_clark]

Tella is having a great game. Redmond sits on the bench the rest of the season on this display. 

I bet he comes on before Djenepo though.

[skintsaint]

Tella looking a real threat. another foul in a good position.

[obelisk]

Tella winning free kick and penalties. Need to make them count.

We defend free kicks brilliantly. Seem to catch them out everytime these days.

[BotleySaint]

Tella is insanely fast

It was offside though was it not? If you are talking about that header?

It’s a common feature of our game and plenty of times opposition has ben offside

[Noodles34]

Love being one nil up, no better position to be in 😂

Thanks

Sheff Utd have stopped pressing so hard already.

And showing how to be direct.

Great to see.

Was just about to type exactly that. Bet Redmond replaces him

[Saint_clark]

Great save Forster.

[skintsaint]

Great save Forster

[obelisk]

Warning there for Saints.

[Lighthouse]

Ohhh Che...

[Saint_clark]

Fucking hell Che, if you're going to claim the ball in that situation you have to act quickly....

[obelisk]

Adams reactions far too slow.

[skintsaint]

Need a 2nd.

[HKsaint]

Adams

[whelk]

Adams looks shot again. Going backwards

We need 4

Having that kind of pace up top really helps the way we play, creating space for minamino and Armstrong to play in. Didnt realise tella was that quick till today.

[Mr X]

Wow what a let off, Dont care if. We win by a penalty let's just win! 

[Lighthouse]

Book him for that, seriously.

[Viking Saint]

Actually getting a good deal from the officials today for a change.... 

[whelk]

Pompey 3-0 down already. Oh dear

[Noodles34]

Tella and KWP only decent players we have that that push forward 

[skintsaint]

Sheff Utd player kicks JWP and asks for a pen...quality.

[Saint_clark]

Diallo needs to come off, given the ball away every time he's touched it.

Should have been a yellow for simulation.

It'd be generous to say that Diallo is looking rusty.

Make that 4-0

In other news, Portsmouth are now losing 4-0 away to a team in 19th in L1 (and it’s only HT)

A bit unfair not to include Armstrong in that.

Bless him, but Che just is not at this level and is not getting any better..

He wouldn't have been rushed back into the team if Romeu wasn't injured.

Needs must and all that.
