2 moments of class play from Ohashi tbf

Lewis Miller throw in’s would ruin even the greatest Christmas

I don't think that's all his game is missing - he'd just be a more effective Championship CF.

Great build up play from Ohashi, tame from Henriksson this time.

Impressive start to the second half though from us.

Yeah it won't be an easy decision for Ismael to put Toth straight back in

Nonsense........2 wins from 8!  Easy choice to make.

I just don't understand the plan with them. He can throw it into the 6 yard box, but we don't take advantage of it at all. Just aimlessly throw it at a body of players. 

Should have the big lads on the nearside of the area, looking for a flick on - we never do.

Think we’ll see a red card in this game, ref letting everything go and think someone will get carried away and dive in

You'd have thought he might be able to get a bit more oomph into them not having to run up a slope like he does at Ewood but no...... still the usual complimentary clearance for the opposition.

I don't think so - he's still a very limited player, technically.

Commentators said Miller had been booked. I missed that but if correct wouldnt bet on him lasting the 90 mins.

Nah it was Morishita booked I think for the initial pull even though the free kick came after Millers foul 

[Exiled_Rover]

This team still hasn't learned that when you're playing with WB you can't just clear the ball up the line from CB.

We've given them easy possession time after time today doing that. There's no W to hit, Lewis.

Pompey 1 up.

even Gallagher was sold, despite being injury prone, having a much higher wage and offering little aside from hard work

Ohashi at least scores a few, is generally fit, and is cheap as chips, if he was any better than he is, we wouldn't have him

Thanks. I was puzzled by that.

[Tom]

Random that he’s booked Baradji for that given what’s gone before 

[Exiled_Rover]

Ref needs to start booking them for diving.

So are Oxford I think.

[aletheia]

Cantwell been good but for someone with pretensions of a top player he was poor on 2 attacking occasions.

1 the shot with the right foot was weak and would never have troubled their keeper

2 when he was through there was an obvoius chip on over the keeper-instead he played a poor ball to Henriksson who could do little with it

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Shock chant of we want Venkys out there!

[StHelensRover]

Did I hear the away fans chanting "we want Venkys out" on the telly just then? 💪🤞
