Blackpool vs. Pompey 11. august 2018

Leser hos anorakkene innlegg som tyder på at fansen var spesielt misfornøyd med midtbanen forrige kamp, men egentlig generelt misfornøyd.

"Like the sound of him. A thinking player off the pitch is a bonus but where are we going to find one on the pitch. On the train down we were unanimous that this side was better than last year’s, the midfield would be sounder, Walkes would be a wonder. How wrong. Apart from the agricultural skills of Clarke and the endeavour of Curtis we looked worse in every position. Surely Jackett has hinted that heading the ball backwards and forwards in a random beach-game sort of way is a waste of time. The midfield was shocking until Close came and Walkes was awful. We had one good move the entire game and that ended in the goal. "

"No disguising the fact that we were pretty awful throughout the game, but how many times have we seen Pompey in complete control only to lose? Plus points for me were obviously Jack and Matt, but also liked the new Keeper as well, looked assured and safe. Midfield and attacking we were non existent but credit to Luton who closed down every outlet, they looked a good side. Nice to see that Close does make a difference, I like his attitude and the way he plays, should be a big asset in the years to come. Wasn’t overly impressed with Curtis, I know he made the goal but that was his one “cool head” moment, needs to calm down and make sensible runs rather that just trying to look busy. Hawkins looked off the pace and I have my doubts about him long term, good div 2 player but will definitely struggle in this league.



The new winger sounds good and hopefully will give us a quick outlet which was lacking on Saturday. Its too early to judge, things change rapidly. I think we are in for a good season but I doubt very much whether we will get promotion. Lack of goals will probably be a major issue. Still looking forward to it all the same. How about a good cup run this year?"
