Duncan Barkes

Colby Bishop was a defending midfield player.

You would see him cropping up, running alongside Pak and Dezel.

He was in there, he was tackling, he was taking on 50-50s.

He was doing the stuff that you need to have every player doing if you are struggling in a relegation zone and visiting a cold, rainy place five and a half hours up the motorway and they are looking for promotion to the Premier League.

They're that good, technically that much better than us.

To get a point...

We got a point there.

Be honest, good Pompey Sound listener.

If we got a point, wouldn't you have been very, very happy?

And looking at the 98 minutes of the game, I don't think we could say that we missed many chances.

They were all over us, but they didn't manage to get through us.

Partly, in fact, almost entirely because of the defending of Regan Paul and Jojo Deer and the goalkeeping of Nicholas Schmidt.

He's had his critics over the last few games.

Just going to have a swig.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

sorry about that, very indulgent, but you would if you can, wouldn't you?

So we set up shop to defend.

And once you've got that mentality, say you're down to 10 men, which of course we were one game ago, when you're down to 10 men, your mentality changes.
