HT. One of the most eye-popping first halves I can remember!

We've scored 3 goals in a league game! And two of them have been from corners!

What on earth is going on?

The last time a Wellens side dominated a team this much he was at Swindon giving Orient a lesson in football, now doing it to Portsmouth with us

What a wonderful first half, against the League leaders. We need a great second half now - surely Pompey won't be this bad?

The link up play between Sanders, Theo, Agyei and Forde is fantastic.
Dan Agyei has arrived, holding the ball up well and his header was a bullet 💥
Special mention to Brown for scoring with his bum 🤣

Absolutely, winger or striker to have options and have that same strength and pace coming off the bench

Let’s worry about that later. 3-0 against the leaders. Wonderful display. Let’s hope we keep it up second half

I've got the feeling this will still be a really long 45 minutes upcoming.

Two set pieces but a really good performance, Portsmouth seem intent on self destruction, high line, massive gap between the defenders

Even though we need to add to our squad, even at 0-0 it was clear that the team today is so much more solid than the team that player Pompey in august. Balance is just right.

Pompey have been so aggressive there’s space in behind every time we get the ball. Forde isn’t the finished product but he tries so hard and always causes a bit of danger.

Wish I was there

I've said for the last couple of weeks I think we need another winger more to cover for Graham . Just somebody on loan until the end of the season would be good enough .
