Pompey Opinion of BHA

It seems that a scouting Pompey fan was at the Amex on Saturday:

I've been over at the Amex tonight taking a look at Brighton's new ground - nice place, very clean.

On the evidence of tonight, I think we'll beat them on Saturday. They play alot of fluid football, plenty of tricky little through balls and diagonal passes but it's astoundingly predictable - I sat there correctly guessing what the attackers were going to do next for about five minutes. As long as Rocha and Halford are switched on they'll have no trouble tracking all their little through balls - Brighton really struggled to break down an organised League Two defence tonight, so one would hope we can stifle them too. Will Buckley is a real talent (made Gillinham's right back look a fool several times tonight) but it took a penalty for Brighton to make the break through.

They do close down very aggressively though - not sure we'll be able to play it in to Kitson's feet much on Saturday. Hope we sign a nice pacy foward before than that can latch on to some passes and get in behind them.

PUP - first win of the season on Saturday.

NB - Their stadium might have improved but their fans are still ****.

But we won't be playing one upfront on Saturday.
CMS and Hoskins upfront is going to be a real treat (assuming Hoskins is now fit).

let them believe that.

Last night i believe that the team under estimated Gillingham, but Gus obviously wasn't too worried, or he would have made changes.

Also we will have CMS back, and play Lua Lua / Buckley / Noone on the wings. By all accounts they were absolutely dreadful in their cup game, and as for his comment on the fans, i am led to believe that we have sold our allocation for the game, so lets sing our hearts out and make them stand up and accept that there is only one team on the south coast that is going places....

i think that was from last night not Sat?

Interesting read, Kitson is not and have never been a decent player and Dunk and Greer should have him in there pocket. The wingers will run them ragged and I am going for a comfortable 2-0 win

We beat a league 2 side while they lost to one of the worse league 2 sides, :facepalm:

Short memories in Portsmouth I m guessing. Already forgotten last season! And clearly just jealous we can afford a cup of tea and a pie at the match with more than 15 pence in the bank!

So we really struggled to break down a well organised league two defence!

Maybe if he had gone to Fratton Park instead he would have noticed that his own side had similar problems. Oh and there defence couldn't keep out a league two attack either.

OK we've had a Pompey fan's view of us v Gills - what about their view of their own game last night? From the review I read they were lucky it was only 0-1 (and only 3 changes from Sat).

I was gunna say. Does he remember the last time we played. They probably won't play it to Kitson's feet because he'll be taking an early bath.

I think we're playing them at the right time.
Another exodus of players in the summer & an unsettled squad only 15 players at the moment. The only thing i can see hampering our game is their quagmire of a pitch.
