Nobody had anything really clear cut; our xG was 0. 86 and theirs 0. 36, which suggested a tight first half with few really good chances. Our best probably fell to Lewis Fiorini in the first minutes; BNC drove down the flank, fed Cullen whose pull back landed at Fiorini’s feet. If he gets that chance 25 minutes in, it’s probably a goal. Knowing Fiorini, who was excellent again yesterday, if he gets it 25-yards out, not 12, it’s probably a goal as well! I’m going to hold my hands up and say with three games left, I’ve been largely disappointed with Liam Cullen’s impact on the squad, despite a half-decent game yesterday.
He tries, yes, but he feels a bit ‘Callum Morton’ for me; not suited to our style. It’s harsh on the lad as he has been in and out of the side, but he just doesn’t have the physical threat that some of our other forwards carry and, if given a choice, I’d prefer to see our own strikers now being given a run out. On 36 minutes one of our own strikers, Anthony Scully, had another half-chance. BNC (again) the provider, driving down the flank and floating a cross which Scully headed at goal, only for a defender to clear before the keeper made an easy catch.
In fact, for the first 45 minutes, I felt we matched Portsmouth. It is worth remembering they played on Tuesday night, meaning they had less than 72 hours to turn the squad around, and they lost Joe Morrell early doors, a key player for them and someone we know well. However, Ryan Tunnicliffe who came on is no mug, and there’s certainly some quality in the Pompey side. As usual, we turned up to play a decent team in an evenly-matched first half. The stats back up my belief as well; City had 14 shots on goal in the first half, three on target, compared to 7/1 for Pompey.
The last one hasn’t been used much, and I’ll just reach for the third one, deleted the information under some familiar headings and try to customise it for yesterday. Credit Graham Burrell Injuries Yep, once again the team came out and it was all about who wasn’t playing, not who was. No Joe Walsh on the bench; he’s out for the season (okay, three games, but out for the season seems to be the more dramatic sentence). No Chris Maguire either, although there wasn’t a whole lot of anger at that one and he won’t play again this campaign either. Liam Bridcutt we know won’t play again, nor Cohen Bramall, nor TJ Eyoma.

That meant Jamie Robson, Regan Poole, Adam Jackson and Brooke Norton-Cuffy across the back, which was the 23rd of our 24 different defensive combinations this season, and only the second time they’ve played together. So, as with multiple games this season, it was all about who didn’t play, and not quite as much about who did. First Half – Strong Performance Here’s our first deviation from the usual template; I felt we had a decent first half and a half-decent second period. Lincoln City normally turns up for 45 minutes, maybe an hour, but then roll over, and I felt we didn’t do that yesterday.
