Tell you what that’ll have done Godden’s goals per minute ratio no end of good.

Haven’t read the match thread. Hope it wasn’t all doom, gloom, taxis and “change it”.

Would it be a match day thread if it didn't have those elements involved!?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Massive three points, awful game. I don't know how Portsmouth won nine in a row, they are awful.

Except they're not. Had to end some time

 

[Tommo1993]

Wouldn’t say Pompey deserved a point. Clearly they came for the draw and it bit them on the arse

My Mrs just came in from the bedroom and said it’s been a fab night for you fancy a Bj ?
Oh life doesn’t get this good!!£

Trouble is, the BJ she was talking about was Boris Johnson.

 

[Magwitch]

Wow! Bit of a chess match that-fair play to Pompey who deserved a point and stopped us playing. A bit of a smash and grab that we are on the right end of for a change.

Did they ? They certainly had more possession second half but we absolutely dominated the first. It’s obvious the windy conditions didn’t help kicking towards the the end where we scored both teams struggled going that way.
Our defence was magnificent to a man, goalie did his job, he might be the signing of the season. Onto Southend now, got to get focused on that one now.

They are but they battered us for 20+ mins playing ugly, shithouse football. You can win a lot of games like that in this league !

not tonight though

Parade time

Foul count must be a record, according to the stats we only gave away one all game.

Long ball cloggers.

Incredible discipline from them all. Not giving the silly fouls away. Defended corners well. Robins with a good move keeping players up for corners.

I want your Mrs lol

Long ball cloggers.

We were playing long balls up field for a lot of the second half

They're called clearances. They played long balls as part of their game plan

 

[ccfcway]

Mark robins “your only a poor performance away from getting a slap”. #taxi

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Long ball cloggers.

Yeah and other times they sprayed it around nicely and made the better chances. Good side.

 

[CV3_PUSB]

Storm Ciara? Completed it mate

We did play quite a few tonight to be fair, probably because they pressed us and stopped us playing.

 

[Philosoraptor]

It's getting that way. Already reshaped the axis twice this season.

 

[Grendel]

Some genius on here ('listentomehearmeout') wants to move him upstairs to be director of Cov's city of culture committee - I know that makes no sense.

I clearly occupy your thoughts 24 7 - look ill give a signed photo with a kiss. Just PM your details sweetie

 

[clint van damme]

They were fucking gash. Effective maybe. But I'm glad I don't have to pay to watch that shit every week.
Anti football.

 

[Monners]

I expected a draw, but happy with a win.

Get in!! We are going up kids!

 

[itsabuzzard]

Marvellous.

Sorry mate but she said the same to me. First.

 

[Johhny Blue]

I want your Mrs lol

She has an opening on March 18th

 

[Skybluefaz]

Pompey had scored in their last 24 games...

Exactly. 2 good saves by Marosi and they probably should’ve scored at the end. Don’t know what some were watching, but they weren’t a crap side. We ground out a result. Ecstatic with that!

3 Points:
We got three
That was a ‘six pointer’
Autos in our own hands

pusb

 

[capel & collindridge]

Too busy celebrating to look :smuggrin:

Just looked...

Looking good Coventry. Really fear them and Rotherham. Pompey will fade, Peterborough are 2 matches ahead, we will reign those in. We're good for 3rd spot I reckon. Coventry game soon could prove very crucial.
--------------------
3 CHEERS FOR COVENTRY CITY !!


HIP HIP ?
----------------

Pompey have a tough run of games in terms of amount of fixtures. Will burn out imo. The game at Coventry for us is huge.
----------------

Yep other than a draw that's the next best result for us. Coventry doesn't worry me perhaps they should but I've just got this feeling that we will beat them.
----------------

I look at it this way - Coventry has taken the points from Pompey that we should have and now we are being given the opportunity to take those points from them.
----------------

I think Coventry are quietly in the driving seat now

This, it was not so long ago that Wycombe and Oxford were being lauded as world beaters, now it's Coventry and Peterborough.
-----------------
Found a Pompey view there too:

Seen enough now to put my neck on the line. Rotherham and Coventry will be automatically promoted, and I said that before the game tonight. We are a playoff bound side, with Posh, yourselves and another team. Maybe Oxford.

Will need a fair few freak results for it to not be this. There’s more quality in the Rotherham team than any other I’ve seen and Coventry just are very solid at the back. Can see why they’ve only lost 3 all season. Very good at game management.

------------------

So mostly sensible comment from our rivals!

Co’mon, be a good sport. If you make comments that don’t age well, you’ve gotta learn to take the banter.

 

[Monners]

It’s a brilliant result lads and lasses. Let’s all join as one

If it was a six pointer and we only got three, where are the other three?

Ironic that they're pretty complimentary of us while a lot of people on here froth at the mouth and shout "Scumderland" every time they're mentioned.
