We had to quieten down the Wednesday fans at the start. We never managed that and conceded from first real attack!
For the next 35 minutes we couldn't really live with the occasion and them. The only plus was we didn't concede a 2nd or 3rd.
It looked like a long afternoon but the 2nd half saw a complete change. Darren Moore who was an immense centre back has 3 idiots working for him presently.
Pompey found the space behind their wing backs and literally looked like scoring everytime we went forward. Their crowd were flaky and quiet and their 2nd goal was against the run of play but worthy of an entrance fee.
Kicked off again and Pompey, sh1t in the first half took them apart and were well worth not only a second equaliser but the lead itself. We could have scored a 4th as well and would have been worth it too.
How did the lad in Wednesdays back 3 not concede a penalty with an air kick that was so dangerous the crowd collectively drained the oxygen from the stadium. The ref let them out of jail with that although it has to be said his reffing was questionable even if he did try to play on
Back came Wednesday with another great goal that could've taken the net off but they finished with some shocking tackling that should have seen more than one sent off.
They held on with Curtis going very close to taking all 3 points.
Conclusions
Wednesday will crucify some teams if they can play a full 90minutes. However the 50p heads they've got at the back mean that teams will realise they are league 1 for a reason, they are sh1t in defence and wing backs is luxury they are not good enough to have. Deal with crosses at source or concede.
Cowley saw this and got Pompey on the front foot. We looked far better in the 2nd half and deserved the draw if not better in the end.
We still need more pace but goals are in this side and a good season beckons
