We were very predictable all evening and I think teams have sussed us out.
However, last minute winners are always enjoyable and that one was orgasmic so lovely stuff.
Moment of the match, critical contribution if the match may be.Player of the match for Pato is hilarious
Here’s another one
If Sheaf was slow and laboured (he wasn’t), I wonder what that makes sloth Grimes…
Pretty much my view. They have sussed EMC in particular, although he worked hard. He may be a 'flat track bully'.We were very predictable all evening and I think teams have sussed us out.

Live and die on this ground!!!We never give up
The ref at wolves applied the rules. So can hardly call him stupid.Side note; not advocating it, but has anyone seen any player booked for celebrating on the pitch despite being a sub at the time ie Palmer at Wolves.
Happens all the time, and it was great to see Sakamoto, Wright etc run over, but they weren’t penalised for it. Which is obviously good for us as fans, but shows what a stupid decision it was from a pedantic ref at Wolves.
Absolute nonsenseSadly I think we have to right off Simms. Got it wrong. There is a good league 1 striker in there. Hasn't got the smarts
The Clive Eakin commentary of the winnerBless him.

Add to that the clear handball which should have been a penalty. We changed things up by going route one which we don't normally do and it resulted in a goal.That’s a harsh way of looking at it. When you’re playing teams towards the bottom, they’re going to stick 10 men behind the ball and try to stop you playing. We created a few moments where we probably needed to be braver with our passing/shooting.
We had two open headers in the box and failed to hit the target with either of them. Rudoni had 2 chances he should’ve done better with. If one of those 1st half goals in, it turns into a rout.
Where would you rank that in the list of last minute winners this season ? For me it’s behind Stoke & Sheff Wed but above Luton, Oxford & QPR. Am I missing any ?

You see I thought it was because he was in full kit and had not changed as like you say it’s so common I thought it had to be something elseSide note; not advocating it, but has anyone seen any player booked for celebrating on the pitch despite being a sub at the time ie Palmer at Wolves.

He who has little faith.
Yes exactly, it's the championship, yes we huffed and puffed but Portsmouth offered nothing the second half. Like 2 years ago we played until the final whistle. It's all about the results this stage of the seasonIn some ways that's a much better outcome than us just beating Portsmouth easily.
It just shows you can't expect any easy games come the end of the season and sometimes you just have to keep going for the entire 90 mins. It should really keep us focused. You need games like these.
The confidence must now be well up after such a stirring goal and it's yet another goal in the dying minutes, so that must have cemented it in the backs of players minds that it's not over until it's over.
We now will surely not go into the Hull game lightly. We saw just how organised Portsmouth were (they should be fine this season, because they looked a half decent outfit).
It was bloody tense and nerve-racking, but it some ways I think it played out perfectly.
Much rather we beat Pompey 1 nil in the last minute, than just have scored early and then just breezed through the rest of the game at a canter.
We now can't be over-confident after that. We know we have to be patient, work our socks off and grind out results when we need to.
Hull is going to be tough I feel. We really need to really be on our metal.
As we don't play until Monday night, we could well find ourselves outside the playoff places once again before we kick another ball in anger.
Be fabulous if, come the end of Saturday, we're still in the top 6.
Nice post, just made a small edit @Otis.In some ways that's a much better outcome than us just beating Portsmouth easily.

Come off it lol great goal but EMC offers a lot more from what I’ve seen.I was one, but every time he has come on he has impressed me. He looks a lot better than EMC.
YupJust noticed Brad Collins kick set up the goal, it went direct to Rudoni. Good on him!
EMC gets a lot of stick in here, he was far better than Wright last night. I like Wright, he's great but i think people see what they want to see sometimes.Come off it lol great goal but EMC offers a lot more from what I’ve seen.
