Shame to be behind, bit like the Barnsley game @ Oakwell a few years back, when they beat us solely because of two wonder strikes.
More importantly the Tumble Dryer has been changed over with smoothness and precision, meaning the missus will never know I only did it minutes ago, rather than when it should have been changed earlier.
Best chance of the game (according to xG) was a shot by Bishop (33’, blocked) that was missed by the cameraman. Next best chances were May (18’, saved) and Louie Watson (40’, shanked wide).
As others have said, we've played pretty well and didn't test Norris enough. We're too sloppy in the middle of the park and we look worse when we resort to long balls toward the wingers and much better when we try to play through them.
(Goal) down but not out. Can still get something from it. This is (sadly) precisely the kind of situation that we could use with unleashing Chuks "The Cheat Code" Aneke to turn it in out favour.
Over to Appleton to see if he can pull off another 2nd half turnaround.

Dont see him lasting the full game anyway
Think we should feel hard done by to be behind, given the quality of the strike.
So passive. Lack of urgency. Happy to coast through.

Jones dealing with Bishop very well so far.

Neither Campbell or Blackett-Taylor- particularly the latter - not really involved. If we can get them in the game there's hope.

Tayo Edun is a chaos agent.

Long injury delay. Sadly our former player Brandon Hanlan
Pompey commentators amazed that May is on Raggert for corners
