Porstmouth are on form right now, so this will be a tough match. Hopefully we can still get at least a point. A few weeks ago, this would have looked a lot easier...

Bellamy against the run of play. :D

Freidel is having a good game so far.

Lua Lua with a goal out of not much for Portsmouth. Two great goals in the match, apparently.

1-1, almost halftime.

Bellers scores another on an assist from Bentley! 2-1 Rovers.

Sorry, didn't see your post!

Craig Bellamy has been great for us, that's for sure. Can't wait to see MotD.

Why can't they just bugger off...

2-2 now.

Almost a late winner: Emerton puts ball in the net but he's offside.

Finishes 2-2, which is not a bad result considering Pompey's form. We lose ground on Spurs, but at least we don't fully slip up.

Sorry, Emerson's goal was called back for a deleberate handball. Naughty boy.

Mokoena made a few mistakes from what I could tell from MotD, including a bad attempt to challenge Taylor who crossed for their second goal. Still, on the balence of play, fair result.

Portsmouth probably should've won this game, if not for Friedel coming up huge.

Mokoena got turned inside out by Taylor, but what can you expect from someone who isn't a true right back.

I couldn't really tell what happened with Pedersen's miss on Bellamy's cross. Maybe it was well defended, but I wonder if MGP hesitated a little since it was a similar slide that he got injured on several weeks back.

Slightly OQ, but MGP didn't look very well -- he appeared either sick, ailing, or ill-humored; he wasn't his cheery self and was bickering with Savage about something or other in the first half, which is quite unusual (for MGP, not Sav).

hes been like that in the last few matches now and should be put on the bench as he does not look interested in the match at times.a lot of people in the blackburn end also say he should be dropped at least for a couple of matches to give him a kick up the backside
