Firstly well done PTFC on tonight's win.
I couldn't make the Fareham game, so I strolled down to Namu Road to see if Poppies could upset VT.
Bad start even at the gate, where the chap taking the entrance money couldn't even confirm that VT were the visitors.
10 mins before the start and the place looked deserted, except for the players. A few spectators did eventually emerge from the club, but generally, I should think there would have been more atmosphere in a morgue.
Poppies seemed to be a mere shadow of the team it was a couple of seasons ago. They lost possession easily, passing was terrible and marking none existent.
Whereas, VT defended well and were quick on the attack.
To be honest, Poppies didn't look like scoring and VT derserved their 5 goals (albeit the 2nd was a crazily deflected own goal and the 3rd a penelty from a stupid foul just before the half time whistle).
Dan Cann (and I think) Fazzi Saadi were sitting in the stand - both suspended. I'm sure Fazzi (if it was him?) said that Karim was coming back - whether he meant to Poppies!!!! or the UK, wasn't clear. There again I may have totally miss-heard - my hearing isn't great.
