Det blev en god aften for Pompey der viser at de er på rette vej, desværre alt for sent.
Pompey er kommet langt og med den flotte sejr over Bolton, som dermed fik sat en kæp i hjulet i deres jagt mod direkte oprykning. At der er medvind ses på XG statistik, som Bolton faktisk vandt! Sejren var faktisk blot den anden over hold der ligger over Pompey i League One.
Mon ikke alle tophold frygter netop at møde Pompey i deres slutkampe.
Pompey manager John Mousinho:
“It was a brilliant performance after going behind against a really good side who have turned other teams over – home and away.
“We reacted to that and not only did we get the equaliser, we went on to score the second and then the third.
“I heard the noise coming from the Fratton End after Bolton scored and you could see that just lifted the lads.
“Sometimes that can drain the life out of the crowd, but it was the complete opposite on this occasion.
“They could see that we’d been slightly unlucky in the first half and decided to back the boys, who responded to that.
“We didn’t make any changes from Saturday and all the boys showed their physicality and intensity, while we’ve got guys coming off the bench and doing the same.
“I’m absolutely delighted for Ryley and that’s what it’s all about for these players. If you can’t enjoy that, then you won’t enjoy any football match.”
