The first half apart at sheff wed, Pompey have been 'at it' and looking fantastic!
Maybe that's a bit strong but considering where we mostly here thought, it's a great surprise.
The first half at Wednesday had me thinking we may struggle this season.
Pompey worked out where they had to change and change they did. We looked powerful and capable of scoring everytime we went forward.
Lincoln came and parked the bus. They came for a point and left with one, celebrating it as well.
Since then Pompey have toiled, found the answers and both managed games ala Cheltenham and stepped on the gas to deal with both Cambridge and Bristol Rovers.
In between they rolled over Cardiff so fully that it was embarassing for the Welsh side.
I was guilty as anyone else in doubting DC and his transfer market activity.
Marlon Pack wanted to play for his home town side and DC got lucky with him. Pack is simply too good for this league and is the best midfielder in league 1 bar none including Bannan at Wednesday.
The rest have come in and added to the group, they are the right characters and this for me is DC's real impact.
I still think we are a definite top 8 side but given the first 5 games we fully deserve to be where we are.
Looking at the rest of the division as it stands shows how difficult a league this years league 1 is.
But safe to say, no one is going to get an easy ride at fratton which is getting to the fortress standard again or indeed away from home.
The fans are right behind Pompey and this impetus gained can not be allowed to go away.
Play Up Pompey
