totally agree cashman
the team on the pitch played their hearts out but they were plainly very tired, being down to ten men fresh legs were needed, we were very lucky to survive the Pompy onslaught (team rating 10 out of 10) manager rating no comment

Re: Portsmouth Match Thread
Substitutions are always going to be difficult,against Shrewsbury we made them and lost.
Fresh legs don't always work.
The only one I would have contemplated would have been lids for Kai,as they got a bit of joy down that channel once they stretched the game.
Thought piero was excellent again and really is wired in to how to play wingback,unbelievable fitness and reading of a game

Re: Portsmouth Match Thread
I thought the ref had a decent game, much better officials now than 30 years ago.
Decent point too, shame about the corner but the keeper had already made 3 good saves before the Stanley goal.

And who coaches the players? Who works on organisation and defensive drills and marking positions etc.
Getting silly now. If we lose its Coleys fault. If we win or draw its "despite" him...almost cost them etc. But at the same time they aren't playing for him. How does that work? If we'd have subbed and conceded it would be "why did he change it when we were holding on so well".
We also have constant criticism of "hoofball" at the same time as were apparently "trying to walk the ball into the net". Which is is?
Slate all you want...but a tiny bit of credit where it's due. What about the transformation of Windass under JC's stewardship. Good luck I suppose rather than giving him a run of games denied by his predecessor?

Rob Lewis did NOT have a good game yesterday Chewbacca, although his reading and punishment of Anthony Barry's red-card challenge was accurate !.
Here is another official who is in the twilight of his refereeing career and really needs to be put out to grass !. Still if the FA keep giving him appointments for which I am sure he pockets a moderate fee, then I expect that he'll struggle on for as long as he can !.
One thing he can be disappointed in was the quality, or lack of it ?, of his Main Stand side
Assistant who missed so many infringements during the match. He could not have been a bona fide official I'm sure so poor was his contribution to the control of the game !.
But whether at home or away The Reds seem to have to put up with at least one of the Refereeing quartet who either makes or fails to make THAT decision which affects the result of the game....and costs them a point at least !. This happened once again yesterday !.
But well done the Reds for a sterling defensive effort against a decent Pompey team and against the odds. What is to be admired even more is the level of fitness of our players which allows them to make such telling performances.

Re: Portsmouth Match Thread
Alvin, there were 70 teams in action in England yesterday from the Premier league, FA Cup and the football league. 69 teams made substitutions, the majority subbing 3 players. One team made no subs at all. Does that not seem a little strange to you? Or were none at all of the others "holding on so well" as you put it? Perhaps you will cast me as one of Davo's Coley haters for merely pointing out these facts!

Re: Portsmouth Match Thread
I've just watched the extended highlights from yesterday and it wasn't just gallant defending that got the point it was poor finishing and a bit of luck as well.
Portsmouth missed a very good chance in the last 15 minutes from a close range header which went passed the post then hit the crossbar near the end.
I was surprised by how many decent chances they had in the first half hitting the bar and having two goal bound efforts beating the keeper and being cleared.
The sending off looked justified with studs being up and catching the portsmouth player quite high. And Piero was lucky not to get booked for that dive that Gray would have been proud of .
In the end it is a good point won with ten men. Perhaps a sub up front such as McCarten may have gave us a chance of a breakaway or forced them to leave men back, who knows, but in the end it is one game closer to safety and most of the other games went our way at the bottom.

Well i wasn't aware of that fact,cheers Redraine. So therefore "All" the football league managers felt it was a good idea to use subs, bar ours. That says it all.

Dear the genius that is Redraine and his trusty mate Cashman,
have yoy checked all 69 other teams?
And all those teams who played in Scotland and Wales?
As I have already found 1 team that didnt make any subs.
Is it against the law not to make subs?
When are you going to put your genius into action and manage a league 2 club?

Re: Portsmouth Match Thread
We where down to 10 men, we hung on for a draw.
It would seem to me the manager made the right call unless you where expecting us to go on and win the game?
