Ok. That's 2. With that Beckham one the ball completely bobbled up. That's not the case with Clarke-Harris from what I've seen. If it is I wholeheartedly apologise. Its up there with one of the worst penaltys I've ever seen, Puncheons for Palace, and that famous one involving Henry and Pires beat it, mind. Reminded me of the infamous Jon-Paul Pittman penalty at Wembley in 2015 which pretty much won us promotion. Felt ecstatic when that happened, today not so much. |

So most of the England team are a "disgrace" then ? there is only one disgraceful person on here and we all know who that is Have most of the England team blazed it over the bar in that manner? Waddle is the only one I can think of off the top of my head, Feel free to tell me others I may have forgotten. And yes, Waddles was a disgraceful penalty. you really haven’t a clue have you. Thousands watching live along with millions watching on TV. Plus it’s the World Cup. No doubt you’d have sent the keeper the wrong way and stroked in just inside the post. Like I say, clueless. |

No doubt you’d have sent the keeper the wrong way and stroked in just inside the post. Like I say, clueless. It was still a disgraceful penalty. Just because I haven't taken a penalty in a World Cup Semi Final doesn't mean I can't have an opinion. I take it just because I haven't played for Manchester United I can't call Roy Keanes tackle on Alf-Inge Håland a disgrace? I've never been a Jihadi, I take it I'm not allowed to think Shamima Bugum is an utter disgrace either? That's not how it works. |

GC saying in his post match interview that he has seen the playback and Lockyer was clearly punched off the ball. Hopefully the FL powers that be will do the necessary. But not sure where they would get the evidence from to do so. IFollow footage no good...not sure what other recording device is available to have caught it. Obviously there must be another camera angle that we didn't see but GC saw because he said he saw it in the playback. I assume the FL will have a copy of it and if Bogle did throw a punch he will be punished. |

Don't know why, but it always seems to me that if a team gets two penalties in a game they will invariably miss one of them usually the second one. Never mind a points good UTG. |

Its up there with one of the worst penaltys I've ever seen, Puncheons for Palace, and that famous one involving Henry and Pires beat it, mind. 4 out of 5 penalties are scored on average and some of the best players in the world have missed them. Most go in , some don’t. Look in the book and it will say Harris scored our goal in a 1-1 draw and he won Rovers man of the match. It’s history and it’s written. I for one am very happy that our January striker signing scored and played well on his full debut. That’s the kind of performance we were hoping for when we wanted a striker all through January ... except you, who thought he was a disgrace. UTG and on to Saturday. |

Watched on i-follow we were a defensive mistake & a poor penalty away from a perfect away performance. We've gone away to 3rd in the league & restricted them to virtually nothing, can barely remember Bonham making a save.
Shame we didn't get the 3 points we deserved but after seeing that I'm confident we have more than enough to survive.

Gained a place, a game in hand on everyone below us (bar Shrews), 3 points for that game would see us at 17th. Very confident we will stay up, and hopefully with some comfort.

Dam ell, arriving on this thread an hour after getting a point at the third placed team (where we always lose), you'd have thought that some people reckoned we lost 5-0.
Another away point or win.
In our situation all you can really do is keep on picking up points and hope other results go ok. On Saturday they did, and tonight they did. In fact quite often teams around us are losing... So everytime we pick up a point, or three, we are doing decent. Meanwhile Oxford lost AGAIN, gills lost and dale lost.
Yes we need more points, but the evidence since mid December is very good. And I suspect we can all agree that agogo & JCH are good signings.
Finally... Whilst I agree the general unwritten rule seems to be not to take 2 pens in a match, 1- that is actually a counter intuitive 'rule' if you score the first, and 2- he did actually score. Flippin Eck, you would have thought he missed both.
BTW, I saw Bolton Vs Norwich on Saturday. Staggeringly brilliant Norwich display. Won 4-0 and could have genuinely been 7 or 8. They missed a pen. The 6th pen they've missed out of their last 7. They are top of the lge but I guess they all should be sacked.

Nice to see us stand up physically tonight though, we rarely looked in any trouble, if we could just add a bit more creativity especially at home we'd be a decent side. |

A decent result, I thought, from a side that needs a lot of work if we're not going to struggle next season.
GC seems to be doing just enough to keep us safe at the moment, and an away draw to Pompey has to be a positive.

Ok I hold my hands up, calling Clarke-Harris a disgrace in the heat of the moment was misplaced and misworded. It was a disgraceful penalty though, I stand by that. Synonyms of disgraceful are shocking, atrocious, appaling, dreadful, terrible, bad, embarrassing and diabolical. I don't think anybody can disagree with that can they? Anyway, like i've said already, a good away performance and a point gained all things considered. Hopefully it won't cost us. |

Oh so close to the perfect away performance, but a great point nevertheless.
Gutting about the second penalty but thought JCH had a good game overall, and there seems to be a decent partnership forming between himself and Jakubiak.
Midfield and defence very solid tonight and Bonham fairly untroubled for most of the match.
Still not convinced we have many goals in us but GC has certainly turned us into a horrible team to play against. Hopefully that’ll be enough come May.

Just got back and haven’t read the thread but fwiw.
Lockyer and Craig immense in the central defence. Bonham played well but really it was all basic work done well, no real saves to make. James C so reliable and was unlucky on the og. Ogogo was busy in midfield and never allowed their players to settle. He will need tomorrow off because he ran and ran and ran and he must be shattered after that. Jakubiak and Clarke Harris played well. Clarke Harris really put a good shift in and no one will like to play against him. Upson was solid in front of the back 3/4.
Istr hearing GC say that the football won’t be pretty but they will be determined and that is exactly what it was tonight. Not much of a spectacle but we were very resilient and deserved at least one point which we got. Just a shame JCH couldn’t put away the second penalty. I reckon he was in two minds as to where to put it so he just blasted it....unfortunately over the bar. Tbh if there had been another goal on top it would still have missed!
Well done gas, no one could fault the effort tonight. Pompey were really poor but when you consider that they could bring on Bogle and Vaughan yet still couldn’t get past TL and TC it says a lot about us as a team. We’re not the most exciting or attacking team but no one will want to play us if we can do that each week. At times when we kept the ball on the ground with our movement and lots of 1-2s we looked pretty good. We didn’t create too many opportunities and I would like to see Liam S more central rather than wide but I don’t think it will happen and it’s going to be pretty attritional for the rest of the season to grind out the results we need.
UTG!

So glad we were able to hold on for a well deserved point tonight.
JCH looks to have what we need for this relegation fight. He really impressed me tonight, winning loads in the air, holding the ball up and just making a bloody nuicance of himself, he also did a lot of tracking back into midfield and nicked the ball away from Pompey on several occasions. Shame about the missed pen but let's not forget he both won and scored the 1st pen.
Overall though I was just really pleased with what was a gritty tough performance from the whole team, I thought they all played their part, putting their bodies on the line and if not for one defensive error we would have come away with all of the points.
UTG!

GC seems to be doing just enough to keep us safe at the moment, and an away draw to Pompey has to be a positive. Next season is irrelevant. We already know most of the squad is out of contract which will give the manager the chance to release those not good enough,keep the players he believes are and bring in more of his own signings. Any fool will know that if your 20th in the league in the middle of feb that there is work to be done on the team. |
