Happy enough to get a point out of that, thought we chucked it away but a point against the league leaders isn’t the worst result in the world. Need to back it up with a victory on the weekend where *hopefully* we’ll have a couple of additions and Cummings and Stevens available.
 
Wow, get in there!!! Henrys experience following that in, superb.

If only GOD had more confidence to hit those chances first time, he offered some great runs after coming on though and decent hold up play.

Ended up disappointed not to win that in the end, cracking game for the neutral.

Strength in depth is the biggest issue at the moment. Imagine how that game goes if we could bring on Browne, Murphy, Edwards, Goodwin.

Still feel Brannagan and McGuane are wasted without a defensive midfielder, want them linking up further forward.

Huge end to the window now, back the manager or drop out the playoffs?
 
Showed a lot of fight when the chips were down, cold and mouldy. Well done. Donks almost a hero. A few more signings needed now, win Saturday and we could still make play offs.
Hands off Tyler though.
 
Fantastic result well done ,great fighting spirit, we now need an emergency goalie in, we are running out of players .
 
Quite frustrating. We definitely didn't deserve to lose, but I can't help but feel like we should have won that. Those goals are just so, so bad to concede. Can't get over them. After Saturday too, that's five really pretty poor goals to concede in a row.

The performance was quite good I think - pace on the wings and breaking well was causing them issues. Just having absolutely nothing on the bench is what looked to have done for us. Being able to bring on any of Murphy, Browne or Edwards for Burey would have kept us looking good and kept them honest. It's been one of the first games you can see what Des is trying to do.

Would have taken a point before the game, and it was the best performance I think we've shown in weeks. Hopefully a bit of a morale boost before Reading too.

Also thought Smyth did really well at RB. I feared at half time, but thought he looked good on the ball and physically solid. Every time I see him I can never quite understand why our recent managers have all avoided using him unless their hand has been forced.
 
Don't really know what to think about that one.

On the one hand, we were ahead against a side that really didn't look all that, and gave away two ridiculously poor goals.

On the other, we've shown some tremendous spirit to pick ourselves off the turf and get the equalizer - Mark Harris take a bow, because after running himself into the ground for 90 minutes, he still had the energy for a quite brilliant run and strike. Bit of a shame that Henry's nicked his goal there (although I fully recognize that he's got to make sure then, when he can)!

Now need to somehow get up and find the energy to do it all again on Saturday against whatever's left of the Reading squad after Thursday. A couple of new faces would help massively.
 
I think McGuane and Brannagan both improved with Burey as an option. Rodrigues Harris and .Goodrham too. Harris did very well for the equaliser. O'Donkor looks better already.

Pompey were pretty good - and so were we. Eastwood came on because our first choice keeper was injured. Are you new to this football lark?
