Ratings: Raggett 7.11 Shaughnessy 7.3 Santos 7.24 Cash 7.5 Nelson 7.1 Edwards 7.1 Knight 7.2 Bradley 6.7 Curtis Davies 6.9 But you are off course right in your conclusion that if you disregard a few games when he played poorly then it looks better. Might as well take away his games against Northampton and Reading when we are at it. That is however true for all other players as well so forgive me for having a bit of a hard time taking that argument seriously. I thought Bradley would be an upgrade on Curtis but for me he really is not. Money wasted so far from the club but that is my opinion. I thought he was great today and hope to see a lot more of that which was my intention to write in my post when I also labelled him Super Sonny. (And also I really like Keogh before the incident).

Agree to disagree. Was perhaps a bit unnecessary today, but no ill will. Means I hope to see what I think is the real Bradley from now on. Statistically, however, I stand by the fact that he has so far been a disappointment on field with significantly more catastrophic errors than the average centre back in a top team in L1. However, he has every opportunity to come back, but if he had been a young centre back from his own ranks who had a season like this, he would never have had that chance.

Calamity Bradley was not around today and hopefully we may see Super Sonny from now on! Would be interesting to see our running stats and compare to other games. It felt like we ran a lot more than usual both up and down. Good game all around!

Good first half. Bolton seems to be better than Pompey so hope they can hold on...

Was thinking the same, what is wrong? Need to get him going again fast because without his points I struggle to see us score 3 more goales in total this season (play off games included).

They have played better but we have created the far better chances. We get beaten in the central midfield but look good when we get the chance to counter attack. Think Wash and NML must play a bit better to be honest since they are the reason we only use 2 CM's. Also we have some problem with getting out with the ball from the defenders since they press high up the field and commit with many players. A few good longer passes would give us even more clear cut chances. COYR!

Fair result altough they scored one offside goal and one after an obvious handball...

3-1 😪 Thompson for us

That is the mystery of football. Some players and coaches just seem to fit perfectly in certain teams and others don't fit in at all. Adams seems to have come in just right when he came to us, while for example Dowell never came right in the Derby shirt. I like Adams, he plays with the right attitude!

Never in doubt...

1-3 😪 frgs Sibley

Davies would be fine in L1...

The only thing you could smile about today was the sequence when our centre-back in a complete panic first tried to nod then kick a ball in his own half under no pressure. It really looked lower league. Otherwise. Curtain!

Edit. Thompson frgs

1-2 frgs Barkhuizen

3-2 win with coming back from 0-2. Gayle frgs!

Ref on our side for the first time in ages. Might Reading have some problems with the EFL or something? Phew, that was hard to look at but we got there in the end. Big game coming up!
