Forget Harrow and the Palace kids, the first 15 minutes suggest this will be an objective test of where we are.
Wycombe playing the game in our back third and putting us under pressure.
Midfield need to step up and give the back four some support and engineer some attacking moves.
Great support, as ever, from the travelling Pompey fans
Should have said that Wycombe are like Rotherham in that they get men into our penalty area very quickly and our back four are being outnumbered.
We don’t look comfortable !
Possible penalty turned down and Nicky Cowley gets Yellow
And now Raggett gives away a penalty
Could the Ref be a ‘homer’ ?
Bass Saves !!!!!!!!!
And now DC gets a Yellow
This referee is a total disgrace. Absolute joke. Well done Bass with penalty save.
Pompey back in the game which is brutally competitive and being played at quite a pace.
Too close to call now after a dicey start by Pompey.
Away to Exeter in next round of Papa John’s! A very decent draw for The Blues
Much better half after weathering the early storm. Bass good penalty save. Raggett winning everything in the air, Ogilvie doing well, Williams better. Romeo doing very well. Brown still not closing people down though. Azeez a bit anonymous so far. Thompson solid. Harness and Curtis missed a good chance each in the same attack. Starting to warm to Hirst after knocking him on a couple of occasions. Pretty skilful and unlucky not to score. Terrible ref, good shout for us - no penalty, one non-existent for them. Making other strange decisions too. Entertaining game so far.
Dsmg
Is it too physical for Azeez do you think ?
Nobody is getting much time on the ball before a tackle comes in and perhaps Azeez needs more time than he’s going to get in this game - unless he can create it for himself
This Ref may well make a very big maybe defining call in this game.
Sounds like the Ref wants to be the Centre of Attention which sound like a recipe for a potential disaster. Let's hope he doesn't give any dodgy decisions against us in the 2nd half.
That Thompson guy is definitely winding Azeez up
If Hirst had a football brain we would have scored 2 in the last 2 mins. Go back post ffs.
Hirst 10 times better than Marquis
I like how Nicky gave Jacobs a big cuddle before going on. Lol
Great great goal, and assisted by Hirst :-)
Harness !!!!!!!
1-0 to Pompey after a really good second half
Just listen to the Pompey fans
A finish straight out of the Marquis school of finishing ;-) Thought he had missed it!
Fantastic assist from Hirst though
Up into the top ten. Have to hold on, deserve to.
Akinfenwa looks bloody enormous and ponderous but Pompey need to be wary of him.
Just keep it tight and see out a 1-0 win

Totally Agreed there. Keep the ball away from him as he's being used as a 'Battering Ram'.
Talk about tense finish......
Match saving save by Bass
