A great team performance and a well deserved win over a Pompey side who were made to look ordinary by our quality and especially work rate.
It’s interesting that the tactics were changed over last Saturday, with Amos going long far more often. He was superb in the second half incidentally,1 -
Fantastic day out and so impressed with that performance. The atmosphere was unbelievable and I chose well for my first away match of the season.
Every player can be elated with their performance but special mention to Amos and Kashi. How the hell did Amos save that deflected free kick?!
Our defence stood very firm during the pummeling from Pompey in the 2nd half. Reeves very unlucky not to score and we could have put it to bed easier but hey. It's a well fought win at a very tough ground.
Roll on Blackburn.2 -
Love it lads! So pleased for the travelling fans, about time we won in front of a big crowd.2

So even if we win both games against Blackburn and Shrewsbury... if Scunthorpe beat MK Dons and Bradford & Plymouth beat Rochdale, Rotherham and Gillingham by two goals in each game and then Scunthorpe and Plymouth draw, we miss out on goal difference?Manicmania said:Don't know what has been done/set up differently defensively for us now - I make that only 4 goals conceded in 9 games
Not trying to piss on bonfires but that's not 100% accurate; It all comes down to the result of Plymouth/Scunny match - if they draw that one and all three teams win all remaining games it comes down to goal difference - we have 4 higher than Plymouth at the moment and 4 worse than Scunny.newyorkaddick said:
Not true, two wins guarantee play offsManicmania said:Great result - Still not 100% in our own hands but would rather have the points on the board at this stage of the season than be in Plymouth's position. As said above it looks like the pressure is getting to them - Never did think they were all that just had a bit of form for a few months can easily see them falling away.
I actually think a Plymouth win is worst case scenario for us and Scunny win is best.
Might be worth a sixfold 50p acca.4 -
Will post a more thorough report tomorrow but that was fantastic. Sang pretty much constantly for the whole game - what an atmosphere.
To be honest I was expecting another performance like against Scunthorpe but i couldn't have been more wrong. Every player put a shift in. Amos made some great saves - one of which was superb, changing direction seemingly mid dive.
Ajose got the goal he deserved at long last. The defence was solid and we showed so much attacking intent.
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Playoffs here we come. COYR!

Depends on the results... If we all win our remaining games 1-0 with Scunthorpe v Plymouth ending in a draw then we get 6th as we've a better Goal Difference than PlymouthCallumcafc said:

What'll help is if Rochdale beat Plymouth and then win on Saturday (away @ Oxford), they could be safe and wont need anything when we visit on the final day1 -
Been a Charlton fan since 84 and that was up there with one of the best away days
On the piss since 10, atmosphere the nuts and still got a gig at Shepherd’s Bush to go

HOW ABOUT THAT FOR A CONFIDENT STATEMENT!!!
Yes it might not happen and we may lose in the Semi-Finals, but its better to potentially go into those games with confidence rather than negativity16 -

WOW
Played very well. Player marks will be high and deservedly so.
Pearce - proper defender.4 -
Our back four is better with him in it that's for sureValiantphil said:WOW

Pearce and Bauer were absolutely outstanding today!
So pleased for Ajose!
Fans were absolutely class, best ever away day for me!1 -
Proper away day. Atmosphere was just class. Every player won their individual battle all over the pitch. Amos save at the end was unbelievable - he was going one way, ball took a deflection and he stretched his arm out the opposite way to put it over.
I've dragged my lad to no end of shit away games in recent years. Finally he's experienced a proper decent one.

Bowyer has revived Ajose's career. Being returned to us from bottom placed Bury must have been a real low point for the lad. He has shown great character since his return, especially as he knew Robinson didn't rate him.14
-
Yes, very pleased for the lad - he got the goal he deserved today and it was incredibly valuable.1

He got home from the game quick.SE7toSG3 said:36 -

On the walk back to the station I got a number of complementary remarks about our team and fans and wished well for the play offs, not a negative word said
Well done Pompey fans27 -

How buzzing must the players have been hearing that today. Really think that could of been a game changer of a performance today.4
