Sæsonens dårligste kamp for Pompey.

Det er ikke den nemmeste opgave, at lave et referat af en kamp, hvor Portsmouth spillede så ringe som de faktisk gjorde i dagens kamp hjemme mod Blackpool.

Kenny Jackett så på pressekonferencen faktisk noget rystet ud, om end det let kan være skribenten der tolker for meget.

Pompey var ligeså farlige som en kastreret tandsløs hankat på 20 år, der gerne vil ligge i en stol foran pejsen.

Blackpool lignede et hold med mere fart når de kom fremad, mens Pompey mest af alt spillede håbløse lange bolde op.

To gange i kampen, der var der en mulighed, begge med Jamal Lowe involveret, først en tværpasning til Oliver Hawkins, der sparker direkte og fladt, men lige forbi stolpen midt i første halvleg.

Resten af halvlegen var elendig set med Pompeyøjne, om end Christian Burgess viste kvalitet, da han besluttede sig for at tæmme en lang bold med brystet, for at bryde mønsteret med at losse lange bolde retur.

Desværre for Burgess, så var tæmningen ikke helt fin alligevel, og bolden blev tabt og et par sekunder stod den 0-1

Efter pausen, der havde Pompey muligheden, men Jamal Lowe valgte at sparke helt forbi målet, da han havde en god mulighed inde i feltet og var upresset!

Kort efter for Pompey ikke clearet ordentlig efter et hjørne, og returbolden ind i feltet bliver headet ind af en umarkeret spiller til 0-2.

Pompey havde ikke et eneste mål der ramte målet!

Det positive

Egentlig er det utroligt, at Pompey kan ligge med fremme som de gør, med et hold bestående af unge spillere fra akademi, en håndfuld spillere on loan og et par hentet i non league, som værende stammen på holdet.

Nuvel er der blot hentet 5 point af 27 mulige i 2018, men det er også synd at sige at Pompey har lykkedes med at stille samme start XI i flere kampe i træk.

Denne sæson, er slut, om end Pompey sidste sæson hentede 18 point i sæsonens sidste18 kampe på rækkens nummer 1, men det ligner ikke just at Pompey lykkedes med det i denne sæson.

Personligt så jeg gerne manager Jackett bruge de spillere han har i truppen, og lod on loan spillerne starte på bænken.

Giv spilletiden til Haunstrup og Naismith i dag for eksempel.

Hawkins blev i skadet i dagens kamp, og lad os se om han bliver klar! Ellers er Pompey i den grad ramt af skader!

Pompey manager Kenny Jackett:

The goals were poor to concede but I’m more frustrated about us as an attacking force. ‘Christian (Burgess) elected to take the ball on his chest and through that touch, I presume, has played Vassell onside.

‘The second goal was a little bit of a hashed clearance, but, even so, Robertson is still clear on the far post. ‘It was a defensive display from Blackpool where they made fewer mistakes than us. ‘The overriding frustration, though, is what we did with the ball and going forward. We didn’t do enough.’

Blackpool manager Gary Bowyer

“To come here and play in front of 17,500, to keep a clean sheet and score two very good goals and limit to them to only one shot on target, well the lads deserve a hell of a lot of credit for that.”

Despite defeat, it’s good to see atleast some players care. Saw McGee apologising to fans in the Fratton end with pain in his eyes. Definitely not his fault

One of the worst matches I have seen for ages. Blackpool were appalling, and we were somehow even shitter. Grim

‘Highlights’ of the afternoon, the remaining #Pompey fans celebrating a shot on target with a chant of ‘We’ve had a shot, we’ve had a shot’ and the FT whistle.

I don’t normally tweet during games, but this has been the worst 72 minutes of my life.

Also Burgess had the worst game I’ve ever seen from him today. No clean sheet in 14 games now is damning. Still can’t understand the Henderson move and do think it was an error of judgement to undermine McGee in that way. Easy to say in hindsight though

Biggest concern today was shape and movement for me. Perhaps a change of system needed, appreciate the very limited resources though. A year of consolidation this season and maybe more of a playoff push next year?

Not seen such a lacklustre #Pompey performance since the dark days of Richie Barker. Mid table is where we’re at and should be. Promotion would be way too soon if in the unlikely event it came this season
