Decent half. We've looked every much as good as them, hope we can maintain that second half. Burge looking like he's got a mistake in him today, so we need more goals.

With any luck, he got his mistake out of him in the first couple of minutes with that dreadful 'punch' from a Pompey corner

Hopefully we won't come out for the second half and be immediately under pressure

 

[larry_david]

Saying we've absolutely battered them and should be more ahead

 

[Covstu]

Great half, well battled and hitting them at speed, Thomas chance could have really helped us. Feel it will be a different game come 2nd half, they will be stamping on our quick players and agree with Nick they will want to rattle Davies

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Great first half. Imagine if we’d had this front 4 from the start of season.

Also imagine if we’d put away some of the shit teams at home.

He’s already made 2 under a bit of pressure. I’m hoping those are the ones for this game. He’d have been slaughtered if he’d done what their keeper did with the Thomas chance

 

[cc84cov]

He’s been awful again in terms of working the defence - as the game goes on it could be an issue - the bench is pretty poor as well for options

The script is written for Chaplin today Mate

 

[Skybluefaz]

Shipley with the ball decent, defensively got better towards the end of the half. Needs to be braver though. Overall we've been great in that half, just should be two up.

 

[Johhny Blue]

He has come on so much as a player. 1 of our best passerrs now and plays continental style sometimes. Coild slot him in as busquets replacement!

I'm really going to miss Busquets

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Great first half display. Let’s hope we can keep that up. I think Pompey will get there act together.

 

[Maverick]

Happy Baliss is out! Team performance much better

Again trying to bullshit the ref by claiming a foul as he tried to waft the ball into his own goal

Looks as if he is already rattled, they know he will react to it.

Needs to keep his cool and Hawkins in his pocket.

 

[cc84cov]

Liam Kelly is immense he plays that holding role perfect positional awareness second to none absolute class act.

Pompey will come out flying here we can catch them on the break we look like scoring every time we go forward

 

[sw88]

Drysdale not giving us much today

Gave Davies his boot back like a proper gent!

Cinderella style.

Why change the habit of a lifetime!!

 

[stupot07]

Decent half, let's hope we don't end up rueing those missed chances.

Fouled if you watch it

Should he not be shoving Pitman off him there?

I get nervous when Shipley tries the Maradona turns

 

[no_loyalty]

Great half, need to be on the front foot in the second half and get the next goal.

See Sunderland fans like us really

He tried one after he had already been tackled earlier on.

Think he has grown into the game though.

 

[Paxman II]

Kelly quite brilliant today. I just can't see us keeping them at bay second half. We need to come out and get another goal. But we look such a good technical side and I look forward to a promotion run next season and 30k at the Ricoh.

 

[cc84cov]

Ffs Curtis coming on for Pompey great player

 

[Nick]

Double change for them. Bound to change the game *

*Hopefully this is referred to when we score again

If we win this we’re all Sunderland fans at 3.

Come on city!!!!

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

streaming the game in work here, missed first half, by sounds of it burge having a stormer lol

 

[The Penguin]

Hawkins off - Davies wins :joyful:

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

What are the pundits saying? I’ve got some American adverts going on so must have an odd stream.

If it's Live Jasmin then I think you're watching the wrong video mate.

You’re right that he tends to fuck up when he’s got too much time to think, but he was quality for the first 30 minutes

 

[Nick]

James Vaughan on as well, different type of player to Hawkins and will give the defence a test.

 

[Grendel]

We’ve had so many corners in this game

 

[Nick]

Another kickoff straight out aimlessly
