Liking the press in midfield...

A bit more coordination on the front press would make it harder for Pompey to get out...

Ahmed looks good, can he play CB?
Spencer has shown good postioning.
Doyle showed some promising flashes
For a skilful" player WiFi has the first touch of a rhino which is why he cannot play as a 9 with his back to goal.

Also, the third kit does create an optical illusion, so much so that it has made Camara completely disappear!

Ahmed looks quality. Unfortunately for him Abrefa has also been a standout performer so far.

Stephens has made some great saves and very quick off his line.

Ehibhatioman has made some tidy touches up top. Definitely better than anything I've seen from O'Mahoney so far unfortunately.

Doyle is very similar to Elliot, good option.

Ryan should be ahead of Jacob for me.

Finley Burns is shocking in front of goal for a big man.

Ahmed and Doyle are going to be superstars this season

Uncanny parallels with Selles' first season now.

Lots of buffering on my TV and the coverage was about 5 minutes behind but I am enjoying once again the solitary commentator.
Ahmed once again looking the part and Kelvin's confidence should be sky high after this but I doubt that he will have as much space in a League game.

Pompey strikers are very small and at the moment aren't winning much against the very solid centre-back pairing which no doubt will the same again on Saturday.t

Garcia looks even younger close up on TV.

Not just you just Sky working on the cheap and charging a fortune as usual. Had to turn off my phone notifications, kinda spoils the joy when you get informed of a goal 5 minutes before it happens :roll:

I was thinking that. Camara looked like a superstar in that Millwall game.

Don't think he's put in a 5/10 performance or better since

Is that a record crowd for Portsmouth? Says 40,525 on the BBC app.

That is one of t he worst decisions I've ever seen. Keepers a good few yards outside the box when he handles.
