Would like to say the same Reality man, unfortunately Adkins gets on my wick with his presumptuous attitude, therefore not loving your work at the top :)

With the squad we've got I don't see the need for Assulin and Razak. With Vicente returning that's one less space in the match-day 16 anyway. Then there's Dicker in contention as well. If the starting 11 were just a bit livelier from the start we would be winning games by half time. 6 wins from the remaining 10 should be the target for a pay-off place (plus a couple of draws).

Agree, would send them back and too Vokes and Jara Reyes. Angestein brings as much to our play as Vokes and Calderon as good as Jara Reyes.

Vicente and Dicker will bring out the best in CMS.

Mattock would keep for good.

A good result yesterday, against a team fighting for their lives that had some amazing support and still 50% of comments are regarding what changes should be made and how their getting frustrated with this and that and if it wasn't for so and so then we wouldn't have won.

If we were languishing towards the bottom of the table, then your comments would be justifiable, but we're not, we're 5th and just in case you'd forgotten we were in that place called League 1 last year!

The league table speaks for itself. Why the need to make the changes that a lot of you are suggesting when we are doing so well?

This site should be full of fans pleased that we're back in the play-off zone this weekend, not full of moaners wanting changes to players and line-ups...again!

To Mart2a:- thanks for that. We are used to the patient build-up and maybe some late goals. It met with a lot of opposition when first introduced by Gus, but is now generally accepted.

Unwavering vocal support from the away end right through the match.
I believe I speak for all B&HA fans in saying that I hope you guys still have a club next season.

Unfortunately Vicente was booked for taking his shirt off after his first goal. This is what football had come to.
Hope Pompey can survive, perhaps the best away support seen at the Amex also great home support with humour thrown in.
Albion....Albion!

Let's hope Vicente makes enough appearances to earn a few more yellows!

Don't worry seagulljoe, it's good to read about what others would do to make the team even better than it already is. Some make good points, whilst others are a little unrealistic, but that's life, and it's what makes football what it is.
My pennies worth on yesterday's match is very brief. Vicente oozed quality and class, but LuaLua clearly handled the ball in the lead up to his second goal.

Mike Dean is one of the top referees around. I did not see him brandish a card towards Vicente after the goal; and, as you point out, neither did any reporters of the match.

To the Saints fans who have commented:-
Glad to be of service, but just another match to us.
Documentary evidence would suggest that Portsmouth don't ring your bell, but we don't have any issues with them.

Agree that Nigel is a top bloke, Seedhouse. We got quite a bit of mileage out of his unfortunate comment, but does anyone really dislike him?

I hope you are right about B&HA in the play off final, Reality-man, though I wouldn't bet on you being the opposition.
Westham are looking unconvincing, and Reading face a formidable run-in.

SaintKenny, I hope the link was useful to anyone unable to get to the game.
Very considerate of you!

I must admit that it looked handball for me, and I wasn't that far away. It was one of those that happens so quickly, and was possibly out of view of the officials and the Pompey defence, who had just been turned over by KLL.
You win some and you lose some, and I'm not going to complain that we scored the second goal as a result.
The QPR 'goal' says it all about what officials see and don't see.

Well said seagulljoe. We are getting better and better and always have a bench that can change a game. Gus has used the squad expertly since Xmas. Sometimes if you dont get the early goal, you have to wear a team down and hit them with quality in the last 20-30 mins to win.

The form team in the division, Reading, only managed a 1-0 win at home to Portsmouth! I cannot understand all the knockers on here. The point of having Razak and Assulin in the squad is that it gives us more options! A team could win 6-0 against one team yet struggle against a team which is 'inferior' to the team which they beat. You need to adapt your style according to the opposition and that means having strength in depth. It's not rocket science, though very nearly. ;p

Yep, Noone got smashed up yesterday and was taken out of the game, tand was probably why we lost our early momentum. We got through it, were never in trouble and we broke them down. Good win and a good job.

It was nice to wake up this morning and realising that being in the top 6 isn’t a dream. Still lots to do and I wouldn’t like to predict the outcome of Blackpool other than it is going to be completely nuts and it will be like playing against a bunch angry wasps. They will be furious at their own current form and will be a must win game for them.

Other upcoming games of interest to us;

Tuesday
Cardiff v Hull

Saturday
Birmingham v Middlesbrough

Yes, just watched it backed. CMS didn't exactly celebrate and Barnes looked hacked off that KLL had not passed the ball to him. Interesting reactions.

Unfortunately I saw the yellow card waved at Vicente, it was along time after the event when he had his shirt back on and was running back into our half.

Now that you mention it I watched again and Barnes does look like his team hade just conceded rather than won the game. Watched the Sky sports offering of highlights and yet again the commentator made it sound like Portsmouth where the better team even stated that the ref missed a handball by LL but never mentioned that he was fouled twice even getting up of the floor to get the pass in. I reckon if we where to play Manchester United and win these Sky commentators would be chocked up with tears.

Awful reaction from Barnes. Good spot. I can understand him having his hands in the air before the goal, but once it is scored he should be celebrating with the rest of us. KLL chose the better option anyway, Vicente was better placed than Barnes.

and its using the squad with 3 games a week .important with midfielders who chase and close the ball down .getting that right is the key ,that is why gus got the players on loan ,so he could rest in rotate ,that has made the difference since january ,the close season players gus got were out most of the time .so gus was unlucky with that .his record speaks for itself

He did show him the card, but he waited just before Pompey were ready to kick off. Fantastic feeling afterwards in bar area, Brighton Bill Yorkshire Seagull.
PS. As I was crossing the concourse on Victoria Station yesterday morning some w*nker saw my Brighton shirt and shouted out your F*cking rubbish Brighton I just had to laugh nothing can stop me wearing this shirt, got more sh*te on Leeds Station but it's well worth it, and they won at Boro..
