Weird weird game. 10 vs 10 with one team seemingly determined not to do any attacking, even at 1-0 down. Really impressed with way the players stayed ultra patient and handled the chaos.
For one reason or another, it never worked out for him at the beginning of the season - but he never complained, put in the work behind the scenes and just got on with it.

Suffering with an arthritis flare up so won't make the game.
Last time it happened and I missed the game was when we played Barnsley and won 2-0 so hopefully I'll end up taking another one for the team today and miss a victory.
Prat Of The Season is decided...and it's not Sarr. Or even Kettle
You are a self-obsessed clown... Someone ban this bellend. Incessant, needless digs. I don't know why I am biting because that is all he is looking for.
Onto the match... We never got out of first gear, nor did we need to. Thought the subs were a tad defensive as we were still in total control. Bielek was a class above, spraying it about like Pirlo. Ajose is no grant.
Even when Sarr went off in the first minute I didn’t think it would stop us. We are challenging for the top for a reason. They are getting relegated for a reason. The only doubt I had is whether the game would get abandoned given the amount of water coming down from the sky. That pitch is fantastic.
The one season where Roland's ridiculous "blag your way to January and then I'll invest" might have worked, but presumably he won't be putting any money in now he's completely lost interest so we'll have to make do with praying we don't sell anyone.
Any chance our lofty position might prompt one of our catalogue of mystery bidders to complete a deal? We can only hope.
Didn't initially see Bowyer as anything other than a stop gap, but he's doing a brilliant job.
Very good game management today. Nobody panicked, kept possession well, sensible and timely substitutions, patient, carved out chances and took them. Not a vintage performance but way more than enough to beat a Wimbledon side devoid of ambition, courage or talent.

A great week and superb turnaround since the defeat at Blackpool.
You know what he's like.

Proper pro.
Pompey v Sunderland
Blackpool v Barnsley
Us, Luton, Peterborough and Doncaster all have 'easier' home games.

We've had the odd season with one decent goalscoring striker but I'm struggling to think of many with two of them.
Last Saturday, we were 13 points behind Pompey, now we are 8 points.
They can be caught.
