Ex Pompey

[lovedeanblue]

What is it about ex-players and us. Freeman was absolute carp for us and yet is doing well a league above. Ricky Holmes too. John Akinde, Marquis, Jervis, Boco all banging them in. I`m sure we could add many more names. It seems to work both ways as Jed was an absolute star here but he can hardly get a sniff in a poor Wolves side.
On a different note, yesterday was really disappointing. A little cup run could have brought in some needed cash. I suppose we have the cliche of being able to concentrate on the league. God, we need to win on Sat.

Jed came on for a couple of minutes Saturday, a last desperate throw of the dice but it didn't change the score. They lost 2.3. I was so disappointed also yesterday, not losing but the way we lost. It was dire in the 1st half, 2nd half was better but again we gave away such a soft late goal. Foorde kept coming and punching, he stopped for that one and so was caught out in no mans land scrambling back as the looped header sailed over him. He'd spilled one earlier which Burgess got away, Foorde's form has dipped and he isn't the only one. I expect those players missing yesterday for different reasons will be back Saturday. The News keeps banging on about our big squad but for me there isn't that much quality out of the natural starting eleven. After recent weeks I have to question the quality of the starting eleven too. Saturday is a massive game for PFC and Cook I would suggest. I will say in the last 3 seasons 5 of our 6 Div 2 matches with Mansfield have ended all square, the 3 at Fp 1.1, 1.1 and 0.0.
