Duncan Barkes

He has the ball, but they stand off him.

They stand well off him.

And he hasn't quite worked out what to do about that.

He was worried about taking on his full-back, even when his full-back had a yellow card and had to be careful.

And still Josh Murphy wasn't working that one where he takes the ball up to the guy and then pushes it past him, gets to the push first and gets that curling cross in.

Well, he didn't have to because he got his cross in the way he did.

And there was Lange to absolutely crash the ball into the roof of the net.

It was a tap-in, but that doesn't do for Lange.

Lange wants to burst the net, doesn't he?

And so he did.

And we all went bonkers.

and then the winning goal went in, and then we just had to hold on.

And I thought we held on as consummately as I've ever seen, well, as I've seen us for a long time.

There wasn't a great deal of anxiety on the pitch at all, and there wasn't a great deal of anxiety amongst the crowd.

I think it was seen by all concerned, including the Blackburn players and supporters, that 2-1 to us was a fair score.

I haven't seen the interview with Ismail,

their beleaguered manager, but I'm suspecting that he will say that they could have played better.

Pompey, they'll say well-organised.

They always say that when we're the better team.

Oh, Pompey were well-organised.
