[Cliff Portwood gave me a lift]

Very interesting being amongst the Bluebird supporters last night (I live in Cardiff and was given a ticket) and listening to their quite balanced (they were 2 up and cruising so were inclined to be generous) observations about Pompey that:

We only had one strategy. A few sideways/back passes at the back and then a hopeful lofted ball forward
That Pack (who they applauded) was definitely past it
That Murphy had bags of talent but goes missing
That Poole was a decent player
That Yengi was better than Lane - 'why didn't they start with him?'
That Sorenson was hopeless
That we were better than Plymouth
That we started playing around the 50th minute
