After the sheff wed game I thought we could hurt teams and have a good year.
Seeing pompey the other night was a reminder that under the lights good games happen.
Cambridge came with a game plan. They were compact, organised and broke when they could. The lad could have been sent off after two mins for a horror tackle. It did say they meant business though.
I thought their 18 was a powerful runner and would do well at pompey. Turns out DC wants him, shiloh Tracey. They deserved their lead and they contained us well until the last 3 minutes of the half. Suddenly we break into the area and Mitov makes a great save that goes behind a following pompey player. It's recycled from a great press and Ragget is still there to put it on a plate for Bishop.
A word on him. He's going to score 20 or more goals this year. He is in the right place instinctively.
The 2nd half was two moments apart, one way traffic. Pompey passed and passed, the 2nd was coming, the third was a gift from another great press. The fourth was a thing of beauty and cambridge team and fans should hold their hands up as we took the piss.job done. Pack is just ridiculous in this league. We managed the game out without any trouble.
Next up Bristol Rovers. I can't see DC letting them get overboard on their ascent to third. It won't be easy, there are no easy games in this league, this season. However, whereas just a month ago I was dubiousabout our chances, now, I just want to enjoy the games. Life is sh1t enough and we have a great outlet for inner city angst. DC is connecting with the folk of this city and his team are buying into it.
