Others around me were even mentioning it...obviously some who were there didn't watch close enough ;-) It happened, I watched it and heard it, was sat right up against pitch. It was that noticeable I watched Tomlin and followed him a lot more rather than the ball. His biggest frustration seemed to be the gap between our midfield and him and Kodge...we were sat far too deep. Now whether that was down to the players or LJ's instruction, who knows...but he was going mental at Bobby at one point. Lets not turn this into a 'Billy big bollox' scenario...you know how people cotton onto something, and then all hell breaks out because it gets taken out of context ;-) I'm sure it will be fine... Spud - you are spot on and fair about Tomlin yesterday - he was going mad and caught my attention off the ball for a few mins as he castigated a few around him - think it started initially as he was trying to press (to be fair to him) and few if any around him were bothering to follow his press Was certainly frustrated !!! Thought he looked a class above anyone else on the pitch TBF , until he tired / lost a bit of interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazed at how much space Pompey gave him at times. Class earns you that space I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 @BobBobSuperBob and @spudski wasnt there but couldn't agree more. Last season people were saying how he was having a go at people like Freeman but how constructive it was...to the extent that when they walked off at halftime he ran over to LF and they had a good natured tactical chat that LF looked like he really appreciated. We need our players to learn from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Don't know if anyone has mentioned Pompey, but I thought number 10 Lalkovic? was very good and the left back Enda Stevens looked far better than league 2 standard. The only thing I would worry about from their perspective is that for a league 2 team they seemed to have a lot of very small players, one of their multiple substitutions seemed to include a couple of munchkins that had wandered onto the touchline. I would have thought they may get out muscled in some of their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
