Tolv dyre minutter.
Tre koncentrationssvigt på tolv minutter kostede dyrt da vi vekslede en 1-0 føring til et 1-3 nederlag mod QPR i sæsonåbneren, der tydeliggjorde at vi i skrivende stund er et stykke vej fra det krævede niveau.
Kampen gav det længe ventede comeback til Josh Murphy, der fik de sidste 25 minutter af kampen. Abu Karama var eneste ændring i startelleveren fra sidste weekends kamp mod West Ham. I stedet måtte Luke Le Roux tage plads på bænken.

Eftertanken
Drikkepausen og koncentrationen kostede os. I al fald mistede vi al momentum i kampen efter det korte cooling- og hydration break. At vi knækkede sammen efter at have indkasseret det første mål er desværre set før, og det kan undre at vi åbenbart ikke kan ryste denne svaghed af os.
Hvad vi derudover kan lære af kampen er svært at sige da det var sæsonens første. Gæsterne kan vise sig at være en af sæsonens positive overraskelser. Vi ved det ikke, men nu har vi da sat dem in gang. Dernæst må man sige, at selv om det på tilsvarende måde kan være svært at tage noget med fra testkampe, så det ud til at de problemer vi havde i dem reelt gav et godt billede af, hvor meget vi stadig har at arbejde med. Mousinho håber på at få 2-3 ekstra forstærkninger ind inden udgangen af måneden. Det er nok meget godt set, for vi mangler noget stål til den defensiv, og folk der kan begå sig på dette niveau.
Kommentarer fra head coach John Mousinho
“It was a really strange game because we had a very good opening 25 minutes and were in complete control. We got a deserved lead, but immediately after letting in the first goal, we mentally took our foot off the gas. The first thing we did was lose a header, concede territory and get pinned in – which we just hadn’t done before. Unfortunately, after scoring – and this is something that I’ve got to get on top of quickly – we just fell apart. Conceding one seemed to drain the energy out of us and after all the earlier good work, we started making poor decisions and stopped dominating the game. We were aware that QPR are a very good side, but they couldn’t get near us until that point and then it flipped over. The game became very transitional in the second half and as much as we tried, we couldn’t put the ball in the net. It was a bit messy.”
Et par ord fra Abu Kamara
“It was crazy. The reception is always top here at Fratton Park and I was just delighted be back on the pitch again. In my heart I knew that if I was going to leave Hull this summer, then Pompey was the only place I was going to come. It’s got that familiarity and I feel comfortable here. The support I get from the fans means it’s an environment where I can thrive. I’ve had a few injuries over the past couple of years, but now I’m focused on doing the very best I can here.”
“The first 25 minutes from us was really good. We were on top of the game and didn’t give them much at all. But I’m not sure what happened after that water break and we looked disconnected. It’s so disappointing not to get anything from the game. We had good spells and despite the result, I’m only thinking good things about what we can do this season.”
