Decent half compared to the laatst 2 games. Haji is more up for it and JDS has been solid

Fucking weird atmosphere considering we're 1-0 in a match where we're champions if we win.

Grimes and JDS have both been fucking mustard and our back four look more than capable of dealing with what little threat Portsmouth show. 45 more minutes like this and we're bringing it home

Pompey offering nothing. Its too easy really, obviously can't relax fully at 1-0 but if it goes 2-0 its done.

Esse not so great, yes but bigger issue is slow pace of play when we try to play through. It's either slow pass it around or long ball forwards. We need to break them down, faster movement from side to side is needed but we're not really getting it.

This Portsmouth commentator is like Will from The Inbetweeners. Stuck up twat. Cannot give any credit to us or the manager, and just makes needlessly snide comments constantly as well.

First half was average. I think we could blow them away if we get ourselves a bit more together in the final third. They look shit.

It'll be much better next year when we're the underdog.

I'm enjoying it. Its nice seeing the players more relaxed and back to playing more like we did earlier in the season. We could easily be 2 or 3 up. Few misteps from Esse etc but some lovely stuff at times.

Frank the Tank much better than his previous two games.

Grimes good other than his two hoofed crosses.

JDS lovely.

Esse rusty as hell but positive.

Wright looks up for it.

Best half of football from us for a few games.

Strange game, strange atmosphere.

It's not been brilliant, and seems to have a bit of an end of season feel, despite there being a lot a stake.

Dasilva playing very well, and we miss Sakamoto so much.

Jds is on it tonight. What a guy. My most improved player of the season, probably a contender for player of the season tbh.

The tank is ideal when we're playing teams that actually offer threat. Think we might as well have the extra attacking threat Torp offers against teams like this tbh.

MVE had a very solid half too - just doesn’t link up as well with Esse as Tats

I can't see us wanting to buying Esse.
He just doesn't ever seem to get going - seems an expensive flop for Palace.

Other results going well. Leicester down. Do think the way we’re playing we’re likely to lose to Wrexham at the weekend tho

I think he’s been a victim of an excellent Sakamoto. Think limited game time hasn’t helped. You can see there’s a good player in there if he can sort out his decision making.

If he’d have done that same foul 20 yards further forward the ref gives him a yellow for that imo. It was smart.

If the ball is rolling towards Grimes he needs to not cross it first time btw.

Agreed, it's been a bit Meh! We got the early goal and I really thought we would move up the gears but we have been one paced, slow when we get the ball or go direct.

I'm not sure we needed Onyeka again tonight, he's offering very little in possession, Torp or Eccles would have been better in there. And Esse is so far off it. He needs a loan, either championship, abroad, or even league one where he is the main man and will play every week.

We have 3 defenders, 2 centre mids and 2 strikers on the bench, surely one of the defenders should have made room for either Markelo or Minny.
