At last, it's Steve Bone time. And Steve, one, two, three, away you go. Steve Bone time. And Steve, one, two, three, away you go.

You're winding me up like a wind-up toy. Yes, funny old week, really, isn't it, Ben? Sheffield United. Let's start with Sheffield United, shall we? And then move swiftly on from it. Because I thought we played... I thought the first half against Sheffield United wasn't that unlike the first half against West Brom. We were the better side, we were creating chances, playing some nice football. We just didn't put the chances away, did we? And if we had have done, if we'd been 2-0 up at half-time, like we were against West Brom, I don't think Sheffield United could have complained, really, because we looked the more threatening side. But at the same time, the longer it went on, without one of those going in,
Steve Bone 0:52
you start to doubt start to come in and i was saying to a couple of people sat near me and they were agreeing and nodding the longer this goes on at nil nil you know what's going to happen it's either going to finish nil nil or they're going to get a winner we were thinking back to the game against stoke in october where we played quite well some great chances they didn't go in suddenly we stopped creating chances and then stoke went away and got one Now the other end of 1-1-0.

What happened in the recent match against Sheffield United?

Steve Bone 1:17
And that's kind of what happened against the Blades. It looked like it was petering out to a 0-0 and then of course they went and nicked it, which was a bit cruel. But we kind of brought it on ourselves really by not scoring. So disappointing. I'm never that surprised that we lose to Sheffield United. We seem to lose to them more often than we beat them or draw with them. And that kind of put the pressure on a bit, I think, for Charlton, because we were then looking at a run of three away games in eight days, Charlton being the first. And if you look at it logically, Charlton, Millwall, Wrexham, if you say you need to win one of those three, Charlton was the easiest one of the three. So you were kind of thinking, well, if we don't win this one, are we going to win either of the next two?
Steve Bone 2:04
Which is a bit too logical for Pompey. They never follow the logic, do they? But what a great win at Charlton. Quite an emphatic win, really. You reminded me earlier this week that I'd said on here last week that I was predicting a win at Charlton, which I'd actually forgotten about. But I think I predicted a sneaky little win, and it certainly wasn't that, was it? It was a shame that Charlton got one back and put a little bit of pressure on towards the end, but I don't think it was ever in much doubt. nice to score three goals away from home a couple of crackers from Terry nice to see Colby get one albeit from the spot and yeah that's kind of made it a decent week hasn't it really I know it's only three points from six but the win is immediately behind us giving us a bit of a lift going into the next two away games and suddenly the table's not looking quite so bad again
Duncan Barkes 3:01
How good do you think our last two or three performances have been?
Steve Bone 3:05
Well I think they've been pretty good on the whole. The manager has spoken a little bit about this, hasn't he? The Preston and Sheffield United games weren't bad, really. At Preston we played well and were a bit unlucky to lose 1-0. Didn't do enough in the final third, didn't work the keeper, didn't have enough shots. Sheffield United, equally, like I say, could have been away by half-time. I don't think we played that well in the second half. I thought we lost our way, lost a bit of confidence, lost a bit of our fluency. And Sheffield United, they're a good team. They've got some big players there. Probably had a bit of a rocket behind them from Chris Wilder at half-time, didn't they? Just give them a bit of credit as well for that.
Steve Bone 3:50
but yeah on the whole I think Preston we didn't play badly Sheffield United we had our moments Charlton we played very well it was the perfect away performance at Charlton and then if you go back to those are the last three and then if you go back before that there was the win against West Brom there was the draw at Watford the draw at Southampton the win at Sheffield Wednesday it's not although we've had a couple of defeats a couple of 1-0 defeats in the middle of that run we've not been playing badly we're not playing like a team who are going down
