MATCH THREAD: " PORTSMOUTH v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

A great image of Purse laughing away on the bench then...!!

That was the moment. Unlucky Robbo, its not our night.

Agreed

Robinson is a little unlucky with a good shot that goes straight at the keeper

Pompey then go straight up the other end and somehow contrive not to score with four clear chances in front of a panicked Bluebird goal

C’mon Bluebirds! We really can’t afford to lose three points here!

LATEST SCORE: PORTSMOUTH 2 - 1 CARDIFF CITY (89 mins)
Bluebird scorer: Callum O’Dowda, 22 mins)

If you want to pass it around the back then it has to be meaningful, quick and snappy, we just pretend and dolly

The Fourth Official announced a minimum of 5 added minutes

LATEST SCORE: PORTSMOUTH 2 - 1 CARDIFF CITY (90 mins)
Bluebird scorer: Callum O’Dowda, 22 mins)

It shouldn't be coming down to one chance in 45 mins when we’re losing though. It’s more than it’s not our night, we are poor and showing all too often that we’re not good enough to stay up.

Another dire performance, like a bunch of headless chickens with no game plan. Defence is shocking with no confidence going forward and would rather pass the ball backwards. League 1 is close.

If he had taken Robinson off 1/2 time. ( Or better still not played him)we might have won this. A bottler not a battler!
Alves Salech and Mannsver must play a big part in the run.

Poor decision not to send the Pompey man off after a scissor tackle

They are slowing the game now and we will do well to get another chance, as they gain a series of soft corners

LATEST SCORE: PORTSMOUTH 2 - 1 CARDIFF CITY (90+3 mins)
Bluebird scorer: Callum O’Dowda, 22 mins)

Oglive is a horrible fucker isn’t he.
His dad definitely hit him as a child.

Horrible challenge on AEG.

Park football

You can’t expect to give teams a two goal head start and get something out of the game. We got away with it at Millwall.

Salech gets a yellow for coming in from behind and the game stalks once again

The match ends tamely and it’s a poor defeat on the road for the Bluebirds, who are leap-frogged by Portsmouth in the Championship table!

FINAL SCORE: PORTSMOUTH 2 - 1 CARDIFF CITY (90+5 mins)

Absolutely shocking.

FT Portsmouth 2 Cardiff 1

Disappointing, frustrating and we deserved nothing from that.

Sorry guys but we are goig down.

Got 2 more years of the world-pointing champion. He buries the chance and he deficiencies are forgotten, but he has never been prolific

Didn't deserve anything from game no attacking intent one shot on target 2nd half ...poor game but we were poorer..

Riza set us up so negatively tonight, for me that team sheet screamed a passive approach and that exactly what we got for 25 minutes

We are in deep shit. Attacking players left on the bench.
Riza, will take us down

90mins played 75mins the ball was up in the air. Alves came on with 30mins left didn’t have one ball played in to his feet in any space.

Colwill playing centre mid for last 15mins….

So frustrating

Usual suspects turning up as soon as we lose. It's like some people get a perverse pleasure from us losing.

That was dreadful management, and as a result a poor team display in the second half. Why have we reverted to trying to play out of defence again? Also, what really annoys me, is the lack of movement for throw ins. For instance, midway trough the second half, we were almost near the Pompey penalty area, and we threw it backwards, and it ended up 20 seconds later in Alnwick’s hands. Why did Robinson stay on all match? He did nothing all match and should have scored the equaliser.
Riza has to been be attacking from the start on Saturday, otherwise, I have a feeling that we will be in trouble again with such vital fixtures ahead.

Poor performance, but their home form is very good.

Their last 10 home games 1 L 7 W 2 D

You avoid defeat in these sort of games
