What were the key moments in the Watford vs. Pompey match?
Watford won, Pompey won. Final whistle's just gone. It's quarter to ten. And I feel, if you cast your mind back to how you felt during the last ten minutes as we were holding out for that point, I feel pretty emotional, as you did, as you probably still do, maybe even if you're listening to this a day or more later, because that means that the last two games...
four points really hard one ground out we were professional and we were committed there were some people running elbows pumping flat out in the 90th 92nd 95th minute people had been on the pitch the whole of the game just working like crazy for that one point, and we got it. And we more than deserved it, I thought. Watford looked good in certain respects.
How did the players show commitment during the game?
They were a little bit better than us, but we deserved our point. In fact, it was one of those one-all draws where somehow, you know, you kind of felt that we deserved two points, not that two points are ever available. But where we shaded it, really, was desire. We wanted it more than they did. I mean, how many times have we come away from games at Fratton Park and elsewhere and said that the other team got something which they didn't deserve, but they wanted it more than we did? And this is a very tangible statement. facet in football and we wanted it more than they did we had some heroes out there some people who outdid their actual footballing ability contributions to the game and I'm particularly impressed and I'm going to have to mention and I know you want me to because you would with Adams what I find what an acquisition
He really is. He takes control of the game. He wants to show the people who decided to let him go. He wants to show the people who didn't, who throughout his career didn't quite rate him as highly as he believes he deserves. All these psychological facets come into a player's when they've been around the block a few times. People who have something to prove can be quite formidable. And I suspect that there's an element of that in the way he goes about the game. But on top of that, he's also a supreme professional. And you could say exactly the same, exactly the same, but in a different way about good old Conor Ogilvie. Is there anything left to say in praise of Connor Ogilvie that hasn't been said a hundred times over the last two or three years?
I've heard it whispered that John Messina has said that as long as he's fit, Connor Ogilvie is his first pick on the team sheet. And I think today playing out of position where he's played a few times for us when we were in dire straits for lack of a number five last season and played perfectly well. You know, he looks like he's been playing in the middle of the back four in his entire distinguished career. and proud career but he hasn't he's a left back and part of the reason we love him as a left back is because because of the way he gets forward which he hasn't got the license to do when he's a central defender because his main job as a central defender is to do what he did get in the way of everything they tried to do and get his head to the ball first.
He didn't lose an aerial 50-50 that I noticed. Certainly, if anybody got to the ball before him, he was so much there on them, on them, wearing them, wearing them like a well-fitting shirt. He was wearing them and there was nothing they could do because Ogilvy was up and about them. Plenty of people had tremendous games. When Ali came off, he got a really warm round of applause because of his all-round contribution. Not just his contribution to the goal, because although the assist, and what a wonderful finish that was by Segecic, because the assist will quite rightly go to Conor Chaplin for a superb ball into Segecic, just where he wanted it. And doesn't he know where the inside of the post is, Segecic?
We've now seen this time and time again. He is a near post... near post Expert with his his favoured left foot and he buried it and he absolutely buried this one None of your in off the post malarkey that was straight in the back of the net and well done Chaplin for picking him out Chaplin knew and the ball was coming to him exactly where Sega chitch would be which takes some doing because he was right behind him and
