Yep - there were a few moments. A few! When it works, the few glimpses of Holden’s plan A look decent. The problem is, as has been for most the season now, when plan A is sniffed out, we have nothing else. Add to that the fact that we have also succumbed in the majority of games to the opposition asserting their game on us in a way we’ve not done (bar a few 45 mins here and there) all season, the problem is made worse.

Scares the hell out of defenders with his direct runs and power, but his decision making, to shoot or pass needs a lot of work. Link to comment
Alex_BCFC Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Mawson makes such a difference. With him we looked OK, without him we were all over the shop. Still, I expected us to lose so overall happy enough. Link to comment
Major Isewater Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 We can all look forward to the next round now perhaps a home tie v the Gas as they must have won against a demotivated team who haven’t won a match since last July ... Link to comment
eardun Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Main positives for me: - Mawson getting 65 mins under his belt. To make the top 6 we need him and Kalas playing together for the rest of the season. - Fam playing 90 mins (given we were told he could only last 15/20 mins a couple of weeks ago - hope he is no longer carrying an injury) - Bentley and Kalas still in good form - We looked more threatening today especially in first half, plus a couple of great strikes for the goals - We’re in the next round!

We still need a better presence in midfield, as we seem to get over run at times. I thought Portsmouths goal was very fortunate/unlucky, as we had no problem with their attack until then, we did fade quite badly in the last half hour, but for all Portsmouths good approach play, they were not that great up front, and then a bit of class by Martin won it for us. Best three players on the pitch were Mawson, Kalas and Semenyo IMHO. Would like Arsenal home in the 4th round please? I didn’t think it was Mawson going off as much as Wells coming on which disrupted us. We seemed to be playing 4-2-4 after that and we were too light in midfield. I was crying out for Zak Vyner to be brought on in midfield, but in place of one of the strikers. In fact I said to my son that they should have taken Martin off about 45 seconds before he scored! Great to be in the 4th round. Chorley at home, followed by Liverpool in the 5th round would do me. Link to comment

YGBjammy Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Haven't seen too many talking about Chris Martin's goal? It was a cracker wasn't it?! I'm glad we have him in the team, but it's crazy to me that a 32 year old who we got on a free is one of our most influential players... Link to comment

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Play 2 in CM- even if Vyner is amongst them- vs Brentford and I fear a different story. Adelakun and Semenyo- not sure if the former will start- did come inside, tuck in though- that can help. 21 minutes ago, Alessandro said: Yep - there were a few moments. A few!

weepywall Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I thought we done ok, not great viewing but a win is a win, always tricky these games just ask Leeds fans, such a shame to see those empty stands tho and i thought our pitch didn't look great. Link to comment
AppyDAZE Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I'd heard it from so many before the game that they could see us going out. So how isn't this a great result? Well done, lads. Looking forward to the draws Link to comment
