So good they want to play us twice...Home to Portsmouth, Football League Cup Tues 10th Jan 7-45.

MJ going to ground a bit too often.

Sheehan on the other hand is invisible

[DJBlu]

Kachunga pulls the ball back and is bundled over?

How's that not a penalty?

[BWFC_Insane]

I can’t help but feel that we could pick someone from the crowd and they’d have a better touch and faster reactions than Kachunga. He’s absolutely woeful.

Looked a good tackle live tbf, but then on the replay clearly doesn't get the ball (well, other than with his arm!)

[The_Gun]

Kachunga works hard and is a tidy enough player, but he just doesn’t have that killer instinct in front of goal.

[Prufrock]

That bell should be banned. Spoils every match against Portsmouth. All because of one bell end.

Good performance so far. Some feisty challenges going in, looking at MJ. Would be interesting to see the Kachunga penalty shout again.

How hasn't one of their fans lamped him with it. It's bad enough twice a year. Imagine that at every game!

Sheehan reminds me of wood work at school. When we used Balsa. Had to be delicate.

It’s probably bearable in a fuller ground with other noise. In an empty stadium it’s horrendous.

[DJBlu]

What is it with Sadlier? Comes on as a substitute in games and plays really well, gets the start and is meh.

[officer_dibble]

fecking hell lads that was suicide football!

[The_Gun]

Bad from Trafford, but their player’s gone down too easily.

Barely plays and when he does it’s out of position.

[Mar]

We've been the better side. Stupidity from Santos at the back giving away that free kick when Kachunga could get it. That being said, Kacha's put Trafford under undue pressure.

Thankfully it's hit the wall.

Was thinking the same thing. We're all wishing he takes his chance in these sort of games as we've seen he's more than capable.


Refs not doing us any favours here. So many 50/50's being given in favour of Portsmouth.

[The_Gun]

Pompey on top here. We’re struggling to control the midfield.

He started at left wing back last time, now right wing back and he’s neither…

Beck looks decent enough - Deffo a bit raw / naive but there is a player in there.

[BorsdaneWhite]

Beck looks pretty good going forwards, but he’s not winning a header all night. Constantly jumps back first and it spins off behind him down the wing.

Kacha is no number 10 either. Seems unfair to compare him to Lee, who weaves it together effortlessly, but in not having that, he doesn’t seem to possess the other thing either.

Charles and Bod have linked up nicely on a few occasions.

Agreed - Sheehan and Kachunga aren’t up to it in there.

[BWFC_Insane]

To break their press we need to play quicker. Yet Kachunga, Santos and MJ slowing our game down too much.

Not sure that's justification. You could make a case for him no longer beating players for pace (due to difference between starting and coming off the bench), but when he starts he seems guilty of miss hit crosses and bad passes. It's a notable difference.

It was f*cking irritating in the Prem with 25k in
