I have to say I was very impressed with the boys tonight, with some very good performances, though I felt Pompey edged the game, the yellows more than held their own. I thought Hinchcliffe was superb in the first half and must have Billy worried for his place on this form and Levi Reid looked excellent either at RB or RM, he is a certain starter on friday in my opinion, I also hope there isnt bad news on jamie guy, in his 8 mins he looked to be causing pompey a few problems, I was looking forward to seeing him test their defence.. Looking at the team, Pattos has a few very nice problems on friday with his selections..
oxfordspur
they did look good. Both sets of teams so we have good strength in reserve
Tel Boy
What sort of side did Pompey put out against you?
King Billy
they put out a near full strength 11 and maintained it through most of the game..
