Swansea 1 (Cullen 78’) - Portsmouth 0
Everybody puzzled why Idah was picked to start over Vipotnik unless he was being saved for Saturdays early kick-off at Stoke.
Portsmouth were a hard nut to crack and it was left to sub Cullen to break the deadlock late-on with a great left-foot shot. Pompey resorted to petty fouls, play acting and time wasting to slow the game down which was aided by another weak and biased referee who gave them every decision.
Another hurdle overcome and six points gained which gives us some breathing space from the relegation pack. In fact we are 6 points from the drop and 8 points from the play-offs as it stood last night.
We move on to the next batch of games now, which will be tougher, but with our new found confidence perhaps we can pick up more points, starting at Stoke on Saturday.
