Please Note; Blue Tag, Cunni, 100G! What I saw was a dreadful 1st half display. Vale played with 5 at the back most ofthe time 5 sometimes 6. Pompey couldn't string a pass together & Sparkes had a nightmare! We couldn't take a corner & only 1 good free kick from Rafferty. Vale pressed us & should have been 2-0 up at H.T. First Half M.O.M. Westwood's Drummer!
2nd half passing miles better & Sparkes much better going forward. We started crossing the balls into the area low & hard, that paid off for both goals. Bishop deseverdly M.O.M. for his 2 goals but I thought Raggett could have had 2 as well. He got stuck in & cleared our lines at the back & deserved to run Bishop close.
I thought the keeper was their best player & made some good saves especially the 2nd header from Raggett.
Yengi showed a lot of potential although only 5 minutes but sprinted like a greyhound.
That’s my boy! Did you enjoy it?
Yes, I did Cunni. Almost forgot to mention the Ref who only deserved 2/10 for an insipid display.
How their captain Nathan Smith got away with countless fouls on Bishop is beyond me!
He was obstructing him from the start to the end of the game.
They received 3 yellow cards & he wasn't one of them.
