MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v PORTSMOUTH " MATCH THREAD

We're totally dominating but same old story, can't find the net.

Need to get Etete on to see what he can do.

This is the way I want to see us set up in the league. It gives way more support to the striker, albeit Harris not doing much, the three behind him are playing well

Philogene sounds good judging by the commentary snippets on here

Again our need for a clinical finisher is glaringly obvious tonight
Love philogene Class

Bluebirds

Slight aside but anyone listening to the commentary on City Player would have just caught the excellent tune 70's Football Star by Barker - local band that should have been a lot bigger in the late nineties.

Took me back to when I saw them playing the Flyhalf and Firkin and the crowd wouldn't let them leave the stage so they ended up playing pretty much their entire set a second time as an extended encore.

Cracking band.

Campbell floats a lovely cross into the box, but the keeper does well to gather it.

Close! Owen Dale has a shot denied from close range!

Tanner off, Rubin Colwill on.

Whyte off, Ojo on.

Ojo with an immediate impact, gliding up the middle of the pitch, he releases Philogene, but his effort is over the bar.

Zimba scores great goal for Newport County tonight away at Luton
But Harris does not rate him.

1-0 to Pompey

Absolutely pathetic goal conceded

Annoying how we always seem to phone in the league cup. It's not like we're gunning for promotion and saving players for the title push, be nice to make it past the first round more than once in every 5 years.

Bishop on for Scarlett for the visitors.

Need put to Etete on. Absolutely no focal point for the attacks. We need a striker on the pitch.

Hackett on for Dale - again for Pompey.

Another sub for the visitors. Pigott off and Jacobs on.

1-0 to Pompey

Nelson with the poor pass which led to the goal

Save! Pompey break and Michael Jacobs is found on the edge of Cardiff's box. He hits a low shot and Alnwick has to be alert to save it.

Penalty! Nelson brings down a Pompey forward.

2 NIL

Pompey deserve it

2-0, Curtis from the penalty spot

Seems like Nelson having his usual game

Pathetic. Nelson yet again. I am sorry but Morison's set up and lack of a striker on the pitch is why we are going out tonight.

When are clubs going to learn that playing such a weakened side wont win you the tie ? Morison wanted to progress but the side put out wasnt a side to progress. 2-0

Penalty! Nelson brings down a Pompey forward.

Nelson again, no faith in him whatsoever need him out the club as quickly as possible.

Rather keep denham and let him progress at this level.

0-3


Embarrassing
