29/10/2011 Derby County 3-1 Portsmouth: Match Action Pictures

Here are a few pictures I took at Pride Park during the game between Derby County and Pompey.

A Derby County throw-in during the first half.

Dave Kitson goes up for the ball in the first half, down the left hand side. Tal Ben Haim (26), Hayden Mullins (8) and Luke Varney look on.

Greg Halford is down injured receiving treatment. He struggled on for a few more minutes but eventually had to be substituted on 16 minutes. He was replaced by Joel Ward at right back. It has to be said that Ward had a torrid time when he came on.

Kitson up for a Pompey corner in first half. Varney (11), Mullins (8) and Norris (19) are the other Pompey players in the picture.

Greg Halford goes up for the header (it hit the cross-bar), this was shortly before he was substituted through injury.

Second half action, Liam Lawrence on the ball in midfield with Joel Ward close behind. Ricardo Rocha, Mullins and Kitson look on.

Kitson in the second half gets into a tangle at a corner with the Derby defender.

Futacs jumps for a corner but the defender gets it and heads it away. Varney has his fingers up the Derby defender's nose. Rocha also in the picture.

Dave Kitson holds up the ball.

Portsmouth versus Derby County: Stephen Henderson, Greg Halford, Ricardo Rocha, Jason Pearce, Tal Ben Haim, Liam Lawrence, Hayden Mullins, David Norris, Erik Huseklepp, Dave Kitson, Luke Varney. Substitutes: Jamie Ashdown, Aaron Mokoena, Joel Ward, Marko Futacs, Abdul Rasak.
