Sounds like we may go 352 be interesting to see who plays up top the rest of the team pick itself. If we're struggling to score then i think we have to look at set plays where so many games are won in this league. Picking Bogle and Cukur together up top probably wouldn't give us much in open play but between them and the 3 centre halves we'd be strong at set plays. Sometimes thats the ugly way to get a win on the board.

Pompey have gone for an attacking line up, could be an open game.

Post by: redarmi66 on August 21, 2021, 02:18:24 pm
No Bogle? Has he gone then?
Title: Re: TLOD v Pompey
Post by: steve@dcfd on August 21, 2021, 02:18:50 pm
No Bogle is he injured or considering his options
Title: Re: TLOD v Pompey
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on August 21, 2021, 02:29:47 pm
Be interesting to see if we shape up with three at the back, or with John at left back in a 4. Either way, Rowe starts further forward which has to be a good thing.

Given that Bogle looked the best of a bad bunch when he came on last Tuesday, I can't believe he's been dropped. And he didn't seem to pick up a knock. So I'm assuming he's offski?

Cameron John up front? He has an eye for goal, can get his head on a cross and is quite fast. Could do the striker role.

Seaman is such a good outlet for us. Much much better today from Rovers

I’d love to be at the Keepmoat today.  Rovers are playing great stuff this time.  Making many chances too.
Title: Re: TLOD v Pompey
Post by: PDX_Rover on August 21, 2021, 03:43:52 pm
Tommy Rowe is much better further up the pitch with some freedom to roam.

Much the better team. Some bite and incisiveness and we should be a couple of goals up.

Marquis still goes down with a breath of wind.  We need to take care with him when he’s in the area

We’re the better side, no idea why the goal was disallowed

Bostock running the show
Title: Re: TLOD v Pompey
Post by: PDX_Rover on August 21, 2021, 03:58:31 pm
He’s being given space by the movement around him and is in his element. Very impressive half.
Title: Re: TLOD v Pompey
Post by: monkeytennis on August 21, 2021, 04:03:30 pm
Great half of football apart from not scoring I guess. Bostock brilliant and the glue holding the defence to the lads up front. Rowe playing well. Defence wise we look comfortable despite their attacking style.

Our keeper playing some howlers though he must have booted it straight off the pitch at least three times. Having said that he’s made a couple of decent saves.

Looking forward to the second half.
Title: Re: TLOD v Pompey
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on August 21, 2021, 04:03:53 pm

Definitely. and the best I've yet seen Bostock play.
Title: Re: TLOD v Pompey
Post by: redarmi66 on August 21, 2021, 04:04:53 pm
Good half that. Bit like first half against wendies but we looked better in final third. Lets see if we can build on that in second half.
Title: Re: TLOD v Pompey
Post by: Donny Dub on August 21, 2021, 04:24:55 pm
Cukur is too slow for a great through ball there.  Bostock is running the game and he’ll be a demon when he’s fit.

There’s some passion today.  Bostock got booked, Wellens getting a talking to from the ref and the crowd singing the Wellens song.  Great support today from our crowd.  They’re worth an extra player.

Pontus has redeemed himself for his error at Accrington.  Two great saves from him there.

Mystifying decisions. Booked Bostock for being fouled and falling on the ball. Determined to be the centre of attention, as usual.

Horton very unlucky there with a great effort.  He’s played very well since coming on, we must keep him on our books, he’s a good player.

He is the best of the young lads that have come through he’s worked at his game. He bypassed Amos last year and he just need to keep on improving and he’ll earn himself another contract.
I’m hoping Blythe who is a good football player will do the same but he a couple of years behind Horton.

We was robbed by a linesman who was useless!

Top v Bottom? We were the better team by far.
Title: Re: TLOD v Pompey
Post by: PDX_Rover on August 21, 2021, 05:15:58 pm
Full time 0-0. Fully deserved 3 points. We actually didn’t miss Tom that much after he went off. Every player did well. Bostock oozed class and we lost some quality and variation when he went off injured. Hope it is nothing.

Galbraith was all over the park - very much reminds me of Paul Scholes. Close was very good. Seaman looks a great prospect. Haven’t seen what Matt Smith’s about really yet, personally.

You can see it starting to really gel. Pompey came to play, which made the game very entertaining. We have to figure out how to beat spoiling teams though, when we come up against them.

Tupac tired towards the end but up to then he had his best game for us.

Rowe much better further forward. He gives us so much energy and power.

Horton - very good player. Could easily step up to a regular slot.

Cam John - very good player.

Pontus was brilliant today when called upon. A couple of wayward passes but immense.

Still can’t fathom why Rowe’s goal was chalked off. Not offside and apparently it was a foul by Cukar… which is ridiculous… But then we had a clown in charge who is giving free kicks every time a Pompey player went down with the lightest of touches. I do wonder if Mr. Boyeson is a full shilling. He just seems to make random and bizarre decisions, for example, he booked Knoyle for time wasting when he was taking a throw in because he took 10 seconds… He booked Bostock for handball after falling on the ball after he’d been fouled and yet missed so many clear fouls… again… You do wonder what game they are watching.

Given the missing players that was excellent.

We were excellent but ran out of steam by 70 mins, when we get fitness into the legs and some striking options we will not be in a relegation scrap

Confident, positive, energetic. Really felt like every man on the pitch wanted to be there and put 100% in. Best atmosphere in the Keepmoat I’ve seen/heard/felt in forever.
