Brighton started well here, 0-1 Dunk. That's guaranteed him a place in Garth Crooks' Team of the Week

Cowleys missing out on the play-offs as it stands.
Oxford infront, Pompey behind.

Interesting how the Cowleys have set-up today, it’s so very different from what we came to expect at Town. I wonder if being at the wrong end of the table changed their mindsets? It certainly wasn’t somthing they were used to*
Some interesting prospects on the pitch too. Savin (GK), Charles (ST), Curtis (LW), Whatmough (DC)...
*I was typing this as they conceded. In typical Town fashion.

So they would have had 6 but actually got 17 minutes? How’s that fair. I watched that Derby game, they stopped going for the win, simple. And if they'd started on time they'd have stopped going for the win 2 minutes later than they did. That's it. Everything else was just the delays in the game itself. Although I can't remember, it wouldn't surprise me if they stopped going forward so much when Rotherham conceded. Going off at a tangent but can anyone else remember the 1974 World Cup Final, West Germany v Holland, famously English referee Jack Taylor awarded a 1st minute penalty against the home team, doubt that would ever happen nowadays, also I saw him in charge of Division 4 Town match the following season. The kick off was delayed by a minute or so, the official reason was someone had forgotten to put the corner flags in but I heard somewhere that Johann Cruyff caused the delay, something to do with him swapping his boots, he had fallen out with Puma and switched to Nike (or whichever brand) and made a point of swapping just before kick off so all the cameras would be on his feet. Anyone remember or I’ve I imagined it ?

At home but out run, out fought and inevitably out scored given that popmey have not made a chance as yet. The only 3 passes put together are outside their own box.. We didnt look like we had a game plan very often, Pompey dont either. Lots of chin stroking and discussion from the brothers,maybe it will bring a totally different second half?? I wish that had been true here..

How is that not a VAR red? How wasn't the penalty at the end given by VAR 🤔

Cruyff was Puma's man. He demanded (and got) a shirt with just two stripes down the arm. You're right about the boots. He made a big show of swapping to his Puma boots.

We would have stood no chance against sides like Accrington if we had gone down. Full of proper men who work their bollocks off all game and generally hard as nails

I see Pboro not stepping off the gas despite being promoted. Could be a couple of interesting games against them next season.

That sums up modern players shirt was pulled from behind and the player falls forward. Defies physics. He’ll still make Garth crooks TOTW though 🤣

Cruyff was Puma's man. He demanded (and got) a shirt with just two stripes down the arm. You're right about the boots. He made a big show of swapping to his Puma boots. Thank you. I was only 11 but the 1974 World Cup was the first I watched, wasn’t even a Town fan at that point, Sods Law the previous one Mexico 1970 was probably the best ever and it totally passed me by, the one bonus was England Missing out in 74 and 78 didn’t affect me, I made a conscious choice to “not bother” with England when I started watching Town, reasoning I put so much into one shite team I couldn’t afford the emotional heartache that two shite teams could bring. I might have intentionally picked a bad club side to follow but pretty much dodged a bullet with the international one. Back to Cruyff I think it was an article in 4 4 2 magazine I read about the boots and two stripe shirt, it was definitely there I read about the Dassler brothers, Rudolf and Adolf, both served in the German Army in WWll and set up rival companies, Puma and Adidas ( as in Ad, Dass Ler) As for Jack Taylor I definitely saw him take charge of a Town game, possibly at Newport, can’t imagine Pierlugi Collina dropping to such a low level after a World Cup final.

They need to call a timeout.

They certainly look clueless at the moment against very limited opposition. Looked bright and dynamic until they conceded. Lacking options and ideas against an organised and un-ambitious side - they’re very reliant on individualism rather than a structure. Struggling against the direct/high ball and set-pieces. It’s all now very familiar.

That’s correct he had joined Workington Town for a world record £2.5M and the game at Borough Park in front of 2,500 fans was delayed while he swopped boots, no tv coverage of Division 4 in those days, just a reporter from the Workingon Star and Huddersfield Examiner that covered it. (In fairness I’ve read it back and can see your point.)

Cowleys missing out on the play-offs as it stands. Oxford infront, Pompey behind. Charlton also in front, with 10 minutes to go it looks like Pompey will NOT make the playoffs, did the Two Ron’s just get a deal to the end of the season, if so I doubt they will be kept on, they even made a point of claiming they will definitely make them, which is what fans want to hear but it becomes a stick to beat you with if it doesn’t happen.

Pompey having a few chances now, but it looks too little too late.
Watching the general quality of this game I'm so glad we didn't drop into League One.

Just said Pompey will be playing their tenth season outside of the top two divisions next year. Didn't realise it was that long.
Just makes me even happier we didn't drop this season. Also shows how important it is that we strengthen our squad this summer - we can't afford to get relegated as it could be a very long journey back.

When the Cowleys took over at Portsmouth they were 3 points outside the playoffs with two games in hand on 6th. After their initial bounce of 4 wins in a row it quickly went backwards.
