Re: Match Day Thread: Portsmouth (FA CUP)
Very happy after a great performance. I have to say that Bradley & Skura were excellent in defence, didn't put a foot wrong and might need to take their strikers out of their pockets so they can go home and cry. Kodua looked comfortable and could def do a job as a make-shift rightback and we looked more comfortable with a back 4.
I wonder what happened to George, does anyone know?
Only player that I thought was disappointing was Bakinson, I felt nervous when he got the ball and seemed to give up posession too easily.
Re: Berks & Bucks Senior Cup 2024-25
The last time we went there Junior M missed a shoot out penalty to maintain his record as a striker of never scoring for The Chairboys.
But that was against Beaconsfield SCYOB (or something like that) so how come their badge claims 1921? Makes our ‘87 vs ‘84 debate look like small change.

Skura for me, just ahead of Bradley and Kodua. So impressed with his development this year; he's not let anyone down at any point.
Re: FA Cup Man of the Match - Portsmouth (H)
I went for Skura, managed everything with ease tonight but I could have easily voted for Bradley too. Top work lads

Sonny Bradley. Absolutely superb. What a signing.
And a great night for Brandon Hanlan too. And maybe I went too soon with writing him off…

The thing about cup runs is that you can't control when they happen - you have to just accept the gift.
Re: Match Day Thread: Portsmouth (FA CUP)
It was a decent turnout. And eavesdropping around the Vere suite it seemed a lot of floating 'younguns' had turned up. Genuinely heard one teen in the (ridiculously narrow and sluggish) queue say to his mate 'if it's like this I'm coming all the time'.
Was a lovely atmosphere on the terrace befitting the 3rd round of the Cup.
Re: Match Day Thread: Portsmouth (FA CUP)
A surprisingly good crowd tonight given the conditions - the terrace felt very busy and a good atmosphere to match. Dare I say it - is this a result of not being able to watch online?!
Re: Match Day Thread: Portsmouth (FA CUP)
Am sure someone said with authority that we'd have 3,500 and Vokes was definitely out.
So it was surprising to see 5,000+ AND Vokes on the bench!

Has anyone ever seen a worse performance by a Championship side?
