@PompeyChicken was otherwise engaged on Saturday out in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside wrestling with a temperamental strimmer and petrol driven lawnmower. It's a long story...
With intermittant mobile telephone coverage and a poor @SolentRadio reception keeping in touch with progress with this Championship encounter was difficult...and frustrating!
Oh well with a second consecutive 3-0 reversal and another sending-off maybe this was one game I did well to miss. This was Ricardo Rocha's second red card in three games and will incur a four match ban according to reports.
So, instead of a report here instead is a lovely Word Cloud created by using the text from various match reports to try and summarise the game. Well! I thought I'd go for something a little bit different to try and summarise the match!
