Morning all Alty!! I travelled down last night with a full carload ...left Timperley at 4pm, arrived at the hotel in Fareham dead on 8:15. Very happy with that  considering rush hour Friday night traffic....for any driving today I’d recommend the route. Took the A34 from the M40, past Oxford then M3 and M27. No problems whatsoever. Safe trip for everyone, come on lads we can do this.

Simply needed to see the last few minutes out and failed to do so.  History wont remember anything but the result.

I spent the afternoon online masquerading as a resident of Brooklyn, NY and watched the game live on ESPN+.

That was a devastatingly cruel denouement, as I think that Alty's performance undoubtedly merited a replay.

Two defensive errors cost us dearly. A poor header from Densmore teed up Close for what was, admittedly, an adroitly-executed volley which gave the home side the lead rather against the run of play.

Then Hancock switched off and was caught ball watching for Pitman's heartbreaking eleventh-hour winning goal.

Portsmouth's two central defenders Hawkins and Burgess were made to look ponderous by the excellent Hulme, who gave them a torrid afternoon. The replays of that first-half incident involving Hawkins and Hulme certainly corroborated the Alty striker's claim for the award of a penalty kick. At least we got one in the second half.

Other standout performers were Williams and Thompson, the latter making several important saves and blocks.

I suspect that the Pompey supporters will have been heaving a huge sigh of relief to have sneaked into the Third Round draw.

Phil Parkinson will have a tough job to lift the players after that bitter setback but we need to circumvent succumbing to anything resembling that post-Colchester defeat malaise in 2015/16 and now launch a charge up the league in December towards the play-offs.

Devastating as that last minute blow was, what a continued comeback from just four years ago. As for the absolute sea change after Colchester. well I believe we have the right pair in the job to ensure we move forward from this instead of wallowing in defeat. What a great cup run, awareness, prestige, money et al, now then, up the table we will climb. Come on Alty!
