Jay, I think that's going to be one you look back on, probably tomorrow and the coming days, and actually 4-0 is going to seem like a really harsh result.
I've said in commentary, that's the first real moment in the game where Southampton showed some brilliance, some quality, where the game wasn't dead rubber, dead level.
Of course, Southampton had a little bit more of the ball at times and in different areas looked better.
But actually, on the whole, in the first half, it was pretty level until that moment.
And then it's a poor, poor goal to concede for the corner in it.
So it's just, again, I don't think there's a lot in terms of the quality there.
There's just moments again for you, isn't it, that's cost you?
I thought one of them was and the rest weren't as well.
And I was a little bit surprised by that.
At half time, it's a strange one because you feel like you should be all doom and gloom at 2-0 down at half time.
But the guys are talking there at half time on the show and...
they were a little bit downtrodden, disheartened.
But I said, look, this game, it's not away from us at the moment.
I think there's definitely, there's not been, I didn't look at Southampton's squad and Pompey's squad and the way they faced up and felt as though Southampton were majorly a better side.
And I definitely saw that if you could get to grips with it and cut out a couple of individual errors, stay a little bit more compact as a unit, that that opportunity would come.
And actually, even with 15 minutes to go, I was saying, I still fancy it.
You know, if I get that next one,
Five minutes later, I'm saying, I can't believe I'm saying it, but it's game over now.
