Back in the country so looking forward to this! Saw some hints that Toure might be available, which will be handy because Kvistgarden really isn't stepping up.

Portsmouth in absolutely dreadful form, easy win.

That was poor , not helped by a shocking performance from the ref. Thought Gibbs did quite well at right back but I wouldn't want him there against the binners

Unusual structure and selection. I can understand resting players, but Clement's focus to date has been on winning matches. It looked like a reversion to the dreaded three at the back. Watched on TV and the refereeing left a lot to be desired. Portsmouth look like a team of big-boot divers.PS How can the referee come on to the pitch to start the game and find that his multi-media technology does not work? That about summed the afternoon up.

Poor display today. Probably the worst under Clement. The international break has brought some key players back from injury but we seem to have lost our way today. Didn't help that there were niggly fouls throughout the match by Portsmouth (hope they go down as they looked a poor outfit).

The worst ref all year however could have made a positive difference if he'd done his job. To say he is the worst too amongst 3 or 4 other terrible candidates this season is not being overly sensational. He was abysmal in his decision making for most of the game.

God that was awful, and the result was the least surprising thing about it, it absolutely stunk of a draw the entire game.
I mean, I get it, players needed to be rested after tough international games, but he got that a bit wrong.
They should have been down to ten men, the ref was terrible, but thats no excuse, we were just absolutely lacklustre.
Also as much as I love big Phil, I'm calling out subbing a centre back, who had actually had an okay game, right as you were about to defend a set piece.

Absolutely terrible decision.

Still, onwards and upwards, I'm at Millwall on Monday and I want to see a vast improvement on that.

Yeah, it was hard to see why he took Medic off and at that particular moment too. He was defending well. And although there were a couple of times he was played into situations that made the crowd nervous he did not panic when under pressure.

I hope a natural left back is soon available because Fisher just isn't a good fit there.

Hopefully Toure will be able to start on Monday otherwise I fear it'll be too comfortable for Millwall.
