NOT SOLD OUT!

GAME POST:
Matt Rhead hit early in the 26 minute and it looked as if Portsmouth were going to be in for the fight of their lives. Manager Mike Blackwell started aging David Connolly for the first time this season, and it looked as if he were out of place at points.

Jed Wallace hit a beauty of a strike from about 20 yards out, and brought the match back level in the 35th minute.

The tough string of matches for the 36 year old David Connolly came to an end at the 47th minute of the match when he took a solid head to a winding cross and landed it all in the back of the net.

The game was riddled with yellow cards for Portsmouth. Five cards were handed out in the second half alone to Portsmouth. At one point, referee Chris Mumple gave cards to Simon Ferry and then Romain Padovani within a 10 second span of play.

John Sullivan and the Portsmouth Defense had a solid day, with youngster Simon Bradley making his first appearance on a Blackwell managed squad.

Portsmouth Manager Comments - Mike Blackwell
"I'll keep this short and sweet! It was a win!

I was very proud of our side tonight! We played extremely composed and did like a quality club should do. David (Connolly) and Ashley (Harris) both played very well, but the midfield (for me) was the big key to all of this.

Let me say, that there are very few occasions as to when a team should receive five yellow cards within forty-five minutes of play, and what happened tonight is not an example of when that is appropriate!"
