Disappointing that the BBC or iFollow don't have any coverage of the games, don't forget updates at HT and FT Batch.

bit if a problem in that I don't know whose who, no names on the back:)
feared the worst after first 5, we looked well off. but the game was much more even after that. mcGlashen looks full of running, Anderson had a few good touches, bit disappointed with adebeyo in the air but he's working hard. some nice neat passing from town and a few chances created, mainly from crosses.
if this wasn't a meaningless preseason if be encouraged.
however we aren't without issue. we look susceptable to crosses/corners into the box, and maybe to pace too.. that said the Pompey #10 is quick. Still think we miss a clinical threat.
er, a bit shit summary, sorry

How has Conroy looked? Presumably he'll be replaced at h/t or early in the 2nd half?

Playing some decent stuff here, took a while for us to get any possession in their half but once we did we've pretty much stayed there although they actually look more dangerous than we do, classic big man, little man partnership up top for them.
Alzate looks very promising, not afraid of the physical aspect of the game either. Worried for Iandolo for a bit, maybe not quite ready to play CM, he's grown into it though. Anderson looking pretty decent, as suggested by those that came last week. McGlashan not really had much impact as yet and the big lad from Fulham looks like he needs some minutes to me, not quite sharp enough at this stage. Smith looking pretty composed, keeping the ball well. Conroy looks comfortable enough, think it's actually the first time I've seen him play save for a couple on iPlayer early last season I guess.
Looking forward to seeing what McCourt and Diagouraga can bring to the party in the second half, assuming they both come on, which they will of course.

wait, I assumed it was Robertson that pulled back their man, who had beaten him and was arguably in on goal. Turns out it was Conroy. I'll a put that down to 'rusty' then

Enjoyed that, reasonably entertaining, quite a few positives to take from that. We all know where we need improvement and that will be addressed. CM looks finished to me, good options in there.
Adebayo looked much better in the 2nd half, worked their defence much harder than he managed to in the 1st.

Sounds promising but it appears we still need a striker and 2 centre backs as if we didn't know that already. Sounded like a good outing against a fair side with a lot of experience.
