"The referee blows his whistle at a deserted AMEX stadium"



FFS people can't you even stay when we're 4-0 up?

palace fans, with their new stand, are going to be all over that.

Suddenly walked off the pitch. Nobody knows why!

Needed a shit.

GP gives a big hug to Steele at the end there.

Superb performance - top league 1 side don’t forget - 11 changes - strongest squad we’ve ever had for me.

Compare that to the performance against Massive in the FA Cup last season, strength and depth looking good.

 

[Mackenzie]

For a scratch side, they were really good. Impressive.

 

[portlock seagull]

Did Pompey put out their first team?

 

[Bwian]

I've watched The Albion since the mid 50s and I can't remember us having such talent trying to get in the 1st team.

Jonathan Pearce said it looked like he was holding his groin.

Some lovely football tonight , yes against a L1 side but these make shift line ups can struggle , they looked like a slick team tonight even though it was a back up team

Some players put their hands up to start the next match imo

Ah, Stat, glad you’re here, did you see that save from Jason Steele Curtain....

 

[Weststander]

Enjoyed that and it was good to see Steele’s confidence grow during the game

No Rust on Steele.

85 minutes.

He didn't think he would be playing and perhaps still considered himself a spectator...

Way better than Button, was always surprised he wasn’t second choice. Remains third behind Walton

I know GP’s made changes, but it’s great to see him take the League Cup seriously and see us score a few goals.

So many wins for the club this evening.

Take it seriously? With 11 changes? He couldn't have made more.

Edit: I was at the Villa match last season, point taken.

Really impressed with Molumby. Playing out of position but showed what a scrapper he is. A real watercarrier. He can be our Dunga.

Well played lads. Portsmouth are a couple leagues below us but it wasnt a full strength Albion side so it was nice to show the difference in class. How times have changed, although head to head we have a good record v Pompey.

Good commanding performance.

Strange how all my Pompey supporting mates have gone missing tonight on the text.

Oh, revenge is sweet from a decade ago.

Well done to GP and the lads, you have made a very happy WEST WEST SUSSEX tonight.

Spot on night all round, really. Obviously, I was unimpressed with the pudding formation at the start but against 3rd tier opposition we did more than enough. Good performances across the whole pitch tonight. Gyokeres worked very hard up front and took his goal well, but he's still short of being what we need in the league. A Championship loan would do him the world of good.

Molumby is very comfortable and is ready to be playing in our first team I think, very assured and comfortable on the ball with plenty of strength in the tackle and good positional awareness. Switching from right back to central midfield isn't easy but he was solid in both positions.

Bernardo was solid defensively, put in a good cross or two and scored - forget the crazy miss! He at the very least shouldn't be leaving so we maintain our strength in depth at left back/left wing back.

Let's not get carried away, we were playing a League 1 team - but we did exactly what you should do against that type of opposition and it was a thoroughly enjoyable performance.

A demonstration of solidarity with the fans who couldn't be there to wander off ten minutes early

Yep and I also saw our defence bloody nearly deflect one in past him.


What the feck is wrong with these people.

They must really hate ALL goalkeepers.
