Pompey v The Hammers


I think this Pompey game tonight is very much Grant versus Zola, with Grant holding the aces, because he is at home and his home form is pretty good so far. Although Portsmouth may be a club/business in crisis - from a company viewpoint - they, the team, are full of confidence under Grant. Don't let that dour persona of his fool anyone he is a very well respected & competent manager who knows his job. He is underestimated but already has quite an impressive record - Zola beware 

Gianfranco will be very much aware that this is the first of four games in 16 days then home to Hull on the 20th, (we're fortunate that the Wolves game got postponed again) but that is still a gruelling schedule by anyone's standards. 

All four are winnable though and if GFZ has his wits about him he'll want to keep some of his powder dry, as in Cole, for the subsequent matches; God forbid we pick up any injuries and it's not a good time to rush him back. I hope that GFZ is thinking that a nice little 4 game winning run will turn our season round. 

Looking forward to a hard earned three points maybe a 1 nil reverse

  1. And I think Zola lost - Grant stole a point from us but Zola dropped 2 vital ones with very few winnable games left to play. If we stay up this year it will be because of the crap below us not because of our ability. The rest of the season is in our own hands, will Zola and the players realise that?
