Unfortunately, today we came off worse in a decent game of football but it was our inability to defend that cost us the match as usual.The first half was pretty uneventful as both sides had a couple of chances, the worst of which was a terrible mi s from Steven Warnock from about 10 yards out.The second half is when everything happened. In the 48th minute we were caught napping by a swinging
Vladimir Sobotka Men Jersey cro s from Glen Johnson to Peter Crouch who nodded in the ball with ease. Samba should of had him covered. Then it went from bad to worse when Niko Kranjcar fed the ball to Jermain Defoe who took it past Samba with ease and then slotted the ball home for a 2-0 lead to Portsmouth.About 10 minutes later, we brought on Matt Derbyshire for Benni Mccarthy(who hadnt touched the ball in the first half). He then headed in a looping header over David James from aPedersen

Wayne Gretzky Kids Jersey minute to make the game level.We then had two disallowed goals, one was blatantly offside from Derbyshireand the other was a very debatable decision where the ball came to Samba who jostled with Bouba Diop which led to a foul be given after a goal mouth scramble which led to Derbyshire scoring the disallowed goal.With about 10 minutes to go, Bouba Diop surged forward past Pedersen and Warnock (who really should have done better) then had a powerful shot which was parried by Paul Robinson. The ball came out past several Blackburn defenders who were somehow unable to clear it and it fell nicely to Davis who cheekily chipped the ball over Robinson to win the game for Portsmouth.Overall, I would say that we were quite unlucky not to come

I was glad to see that Tugay started instead of Mokoena and that Warnock started in his preferred position of left back.From the BBC website:Portsmouth:James, Johnson, Distin, Pamarot, Belhadj, Little (Kranjcar 46), Diop, Hughes, Armand Traore (Davis 76), Crouch (Kanu 69), Defoe.Subs Not Used: Ashdown, Hreidar son, Mvuemba, Nugent.Goals: Crouch 49, Defoe 53, Davis 79.Blackburn: Robinson, Ooijer, Samba, Nelsen, Warnock, Emerton, Andrews, Kerimoglu, Pedersen (Villanueva 87), Roque Santa Cruz, McCarthy (Derbyshire 61).Subs Not Used: Brown, Mokoena, Simpson, Fowler, Roberts.Booked:Ooijer.Goals:Derbyshire 62, Kerimoglu 67.Att: 18,111Ref:Mark Halsey (Lancashire)
