It is interesting to see that we have scored more goals than the top 2.
As have Bolton, Peterborough and Barnsley.
They have however conceded far fewer than everybody else. So we need to be far more tough to beat and resilient next season to have any chance if being in.the Top 2. No conceding 3 at Peterborough, 5 at Bolton, 5 at Bristol City and 6 at Coventry. Pompey have been pretty unexciting, but have been incredibly resilient- losing 4 games before Saturday is unbelievable. Constantly coming down from being behind to win games shows their mental strength.
Also is there any chance we can be FAR better on dead ball situations? I know that Mous was involved, but Brannagan scored what 3 goals from free kicks when somebody pushed it to him to hit it from round the wall last season.
What happened to that routine? Pompey and Derby are both very good at dead ball situations. I have seen little innovation in these areas.
Thoughts?
