Slow start , then after twenty mins we got to grips with them and look the better team , neither tenam is good enough to blitz the other , so far Ross has his tactics spot on , its over two legs , even if we were good enough , gung ho like some of the bairns on here want is not the way to go. They are a stringer bigger side that us, so we have done well so far, .

If we were at Fratton Park, yes.

But at the SOL?

If we were down there, fair enough.
 

This is so bad.
Our only 2 players with any quality are McGeady and Maguire. With neither match fit i got why he started Maguire on the bench (tell McGeady to give everything for an hour then take him off for Maguire). Once McGeady pulled out though Maguire had to start surely!
Then why was Hume brought in on the bench where's Sterling? 3 defenders on the bench ffs!

Get Sterling on, we always need more pace... Oh wait...

Exactly!
 
Cattermole was probably our best player the first. Started to lose it though with a few poor passes in quick succession. Gooch probably the best of a bad bunch up front, CBs are doing fine

Take off Power, Honeyman and Gooch, put Leadbitter, Maguire, and Grigg on and get some aggression into the game. It will also allow Catts to drift forward.

Why the fuck would we want Catts to drift forward? He’s simply not good enough on the ball. We should be bringing Maguire on for either Catts or power and dropping Honeyman back into the middle. He may not be great but his energy puts him ahead of either of the two plodders playing there at the moment.
