But you take my point.

Adams has heroism written all over him.

And Pompey fans, most football fans actually love that.

I'm not going to pretend we're special in liking a player who is prepared to, you know, cut him and he bleeds blue or red or whatever the team's colours are.

Such players are ten a penny, but such players who can do it with such realism...

as Adams can, are a lot more rare on the ground.

And we've got one in him.

Marlon Pack had another fantastic game.

Ogilvy, I've mentioned.

Shockness, he came on like he was eight foot tall.

What a rock.

Schmidt was very unlucky.

He got a hand, a fat hand to their goal, but not fat enough.

And so it squeezed goalwards and went in off the post.

But we ought to concede that Connor Ogilvie's goal took quite a heavy deflection.

And if you look at it back from behind the shot, you can see that the keeper was moving in that direction and may well have got it covered if it had gone where Ogilvie was intending it and sent it.

But it took a heel off a Blackburn player and it went over the keeper's head.

So you can probably say on as even on those two goals.

When shocks came on for Reagan Paul, our first worry was that Paul might have an injury which

could affect his rest of the season because he's a player not without an injury history.
