Reading (H)

[FrancisFogarty]

Collins and JDB were really on it today. Their keeper didn’t know whether to have a shit or a haircut for our corners.

[waffer cup 07]

Played with real purpose and the high tempo made all the difference. No Santos standing on the ball allowing the oposition to regroup.

[1969]

Just back good performance except for a dodgy 15 minute spell 2nd half.Still don't think Santos is firing on all cylinders he had a couple of dodgy moments.Toal was excellent as was Bod and Collins.Coleman proving his worth now couple of descent saves

Now come on Pompey 

[Leyther_Matt]

Everything I was hoping for and more in terms of taking the game to them and maintaining the speed and intensity.

The two goals are a bit of a blot on the copybook, of course, but when you score five and genuinely could have had another five then I’m happy to let it go. Despite the two conceded, I thought Coleman was solid and made a couple of very decent saves, and Toal was outstanding.

Fair play to JDB and Collins, they worked their nuts off and got the rewards. Which makes their off days all the more annoying, but fingers crossed they heed the lesson.

Here’s hoping Pompey stick a few past Derby tomorrow and then it really is back on.

Play up Pompey.

Always thought Westy smelled beautiful.

He's a massive nob head that bloke.

Everyone thinks he's good. He fucking stinks and is clearly a nonce.

Excellent result Collins excellent game keep this level of performance in the last remaining games.

JDB and Collins got the rewards because we didn’t piss about with the ball in our own half. Get the game further up the pitch and the rewards will come.

Actually we did Francis and it cost us two soft goals. Sometimes when you’re under pressure you just need to put your foot through it and get it into the opponents half. Both their goals were our mistakes but at least it wasn’t walking football this time. 🙂 

[Winchester White]

Play it quicker and faster up the pitch and you find results shocker.

Two soft goals conceded when we fucked about again.

Cracking result and chuffed for Collins.

[Spider]

Their second goal is the type you’d see any team concede at 3-1 in the 87th minute.

Let’s not fucking mountain that particular molehill just for the sake of having something - anything - to whine about.

we’ve just won 5-2 xxxx

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Two consecutive 5s at home.

Can we make it 3?

[Under_Score]

Good win today, just need to back it up next week and for the remaining 5 games.

JDB’s performance today just shows how crazy it was starting Jerome over him on Friday. For all that a lot of fans have slagged him off this season, he’s into double figures this season and the same as fans favourite Adeboyejo.

Not sure either of them are fans' favourites. Neither is Collins.

Chuck in criticism of sitter-missing Dion and never a footballer Dan and we're struggling! 😄

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

I've got a feeling that Collins alongside Charles up front will be quite the spectacle

Apologies, I based my comment off twitter which I realise is a mistake

In victors defence, his are all league goals. Bod has 8 this season now in total, half in the bristol street motors.

He just oozes class when given the chance! A class above Vic, Llundlu, Jerome. 

[Matt Lofthouse]

Played really well today and pleased for Collins and Bod. 

Come on Pompey, 4-0 will do. 

[radcliffe white]

Singer in namploy was enjoying himself today 🎵

for a 25k the crowd soon disappeared after train station was quiet

[bolton va va]

Some lovely football & we could have scored more, especially Dempsey at the death.

Top performances from Santos & Sheehan, Collins has a touch of quality, Bod was poor 1st half but very good 2nd  & Thomason & Magoma both got better as the game went on.

Apart from the keeper/juggler, Reading were very ordinary but had a 10/15 minute spell when they were a real threat & Coleman did well for us, but our subs seemed to finish them off.

Very enjoyable & hopefully some of the part timers will return.

I partially agree with the comment in which league goals carry more meaning but by the same token, JDB has started 9 league games whilst Victor has started 28. JDB has 4 league goals which is 0.44 league goals per start whilst Victor has 10 league goals which is 0.35 goals per start.
