00:00Guys, Tony Robo's first home game could not have gone any better, what did you make of
00:13what you saw right there?
00:14I thought it was an absolutely fantastic performance, I thought the lads played really well didn't
00:20I?
00:21As a Pompey fan, I thought it was absolutely awful!
00:24You're a Pompey fan?
00:25Yeah!
00:26Are you a Pompey fan as well?
00:27I'm a West Brom fan!
00:28As a team, we took the free play, basically they didn't play with any fear I thought,
00:35so I thought that was no good.
00:37Cut through the Portsmouth defence.
00:39I think Portsmouth are relatively poor in that regard.
00:42It was five changes, five changes, which messed the whole game up.
00:48Buggies!
00:49Yeah, so I thought really well played, Tony Marbury, I mean we lost the first game, we
00:55just won 5-0, they need to continue that for the rest of the season, I think we'll
00:59do well.
01:00I think free play in football, like we've just done there, a couple of goals, lots of
01:05goals weren't it?
01:06Get Magic back, we'll be back won't we?
01:09To be honest, when it was 4-0 at half time, I just couldn't speak.
01:15I mean like, I've never seen four goals in the first half like that, and yeah, I'm just
01:23delighted, you know what I mean?
01:25I've never actually saw five goals.
01:29In all the times I've been here, I've never saw five goals.
01:33Just like it was before, when we go in front, controlling the game, playing balls around,
01:41soaping up the pockets and taking the chances, it's refreshing.
01:47I was happy to see players kind of shooting, they got into positions on Tuesday night where
01:51they just weren't pulling the trigger.
01:53Did it today, albeit I think the goalkeeper helped them out with the first couple, but
01:56just nice to see players playing with a bit of confidence.
01:58Is DK back now?
01:59When's he back?
02:00When's he back now?
02:01Shouldn't be long, shouldn't be long.
02:02Is DK back?
02:03Before the play-off?
02:04He gets the play-off, I think there's two spots left in the play-offs, isn't there?
02:08You've got fifth and sixth, the rest of the four, Burnley, Sheffield United, Leeds, there's
02:15two spaces to be had, and there's about ten teams getting to it.
02:19Watford have lost today as well, so I think, brilliant isn't it, it puts us back in it
02:23in a way.
02:24Blackburn have lost.
02:25Things are certainly looking up.
02:27Yes, so the first goal was a good forward tune, I'd say Dean Garner, finally he seemed
02:36to get in the tune.
02:37I've asked a couple of games before, I think he's been probably one of our better players
02:42and today he was exceptional.
02:43Just on individuals, I know a lot of fans were a bit miffed when Wallace and Swift were
02:47selected today, what did you make of them?
02:49I thought Wallace played good, but Johnson played absolutely out of skin today, absolutely
02:54out of skin.
02:55But what he needs to do that is every game, not have a good game and a bad game and come
02:59back, he needs to do that consistently and he should be in the first eleven every time,
03:03as long as he plays like that.
03:05Anyway, we're on mum and dad, see you later.
03:07We've scored today, I was really happy for Jed Wallace to score, Swift, a bit of luck
03:13with the finish because he deflected in the top corner, but well played taking goal.
