Worried RL will just carry on same tactic, which would work if the ref wasn't a homer. Pan should eventually cause a 2nd yellow on one of theirs, but no doubt ref will bottle it at Fratton Park
After a harem scarem opening 20 Pompey look really ordinary. Hardie has the legs on Ragget and we can get something from this.
Pompey are agricultural but good at it. It's like watching Lincoln just after they got into the League.
Scrappy game, no football being played. Portsmouth have been sent out to target Camara - almost as though they think if you stop him you stop us.
Their Morrell has twice thrown the ball away after conceding a freekick. When are referees going to crack down on that?
The goal was poor. One of their players said something to Brown as he was getting ready to take the freekick and I said to my lad, "I bet he just told him to kick it under the wall." Hey presto that's exactly what happened. Stick a man on the deck!
Hardie has looked sharp but otherwise we've offered little going forward. The wingbacks have been pushed back and we've relied on too many long balls. Camara has tried his best to take us up the pitch but he gets taken out every time he receives the ball. Need more from Broom.

Portsmouth 9 fouls = 3 yellow cards.
Argyle 3 fouls = 3 yellows !
Say no more!

Ref’s looked quite balanced to me tbf - Pompey fans have probably got as much as we have to be unhappy about. Someone’s going to get sent off at the rate he’s dishing out cards though, surely.
I don’t think Pompey look good, we just need a bit of composure and we can get back into this game. Get Broom on the ball more
I think this is a good test for us on a few levels.
We are behind. We need to start learning how to take something from games when we don’t score first.
We can’t play our football because they will commit a foul and break up play. So we need to find another way.
They are being very physical and we need to keep our heads but keep battling.
l think we done OK. A smart free kick separates both sides. Both sides huffed and puffed without really threatening play.
