Pompey making us work for it.... Fair play to 'em.

Severely lacking at WB. If we could beat a man in those areas it would open them right up.... As is, we're reliant on moments of individual quality that have yet to come.
 
Really narrow back 5 in the first half from Portsmouth. They’ve clearly sussed out what every team is figuring out: our setup requires service from width (more than through the middle), and we simply lack the talent at WB for it to work.

They’re daring our wings to make something happen. It’s so disheartening.
 
Portsmouth are just defending their penalty box with 11 players, with the team we have out there it’s always going to be a slog.

It’s made even worse because we have a player out there at RWB who genuinely cannot play football.
yea this team would struggle to break a conference league side down if they got everyone back on their 18 yard box. lack of guile. when one of the attackers do get it they can get swarmed because they know the pass back is safe as its too someone whos going to do fuck all.
