James Simmonds moves for four weeks to Ryman League side Dover Athletic
Paddy Mc Carthy having a great game today against West Brom. Really playing well.
Marc Wilson on the bench for Portsmouth today, hope he gets a run out
Watched the Charlton v West Brom match yesterday and Paddy McCarthy put in a MOTM performance. He was really excellent particularly in the last quarter when West Brom threw everything at them. Don’t know how consistent he is but an option for us I am sure.
leicetser v hull 0-2
no Irish these days for leicester, but Caleb Folan for the visitors, who to my disappointment was kept out of the starting eleven by the silken and sublime footballing God that is Dean Windass.
He did however join proceedings with about 20 to play, joining Windass up top and immediately issuing him some instructions on how and where he wanted it flicked on.
His first involvement pressurised the CB into conceding a throw from the type of header he had previously been sending down the middle, and Folans first time in posession killed the game and sent some home fans to the exits. It came from a long high punt which the CB's should have dealt with but inexplicably did'nt. Folan was in behind and, his first touch removing the trailing CB from the equation, he then cleverly drifted accross the covering fulback, thus removing him. he then calmly took it on and finished accross the keeper to confirm three pionts for his team. very well taken I thought, as he had work to do when he picked it up.
after that, it was all about the basics, keeping posession, offering a decent outlet and keeping it simple, which he did on about five or six occasions. he also showed a good burst of speed on two occasions when defending from the front, once covering ground well when his side were defending a corner to stop leicester picking up easy posession from the half clearence and on another when the CB he was chasing rolled it to the LB, only for Folan to make up the ground quickly enough to make the opposong player have to hoof it, and give it away.
a nice little cameo from the man, and his seventh of the season (i think), if we are looking at Lee, Morrisson, etc, could he become an option? his side are in the playoff spots at present.

Hawkins was and always will be a big donkey. Hawkins scored a few thumping set-piece headers for Pats a good few years back - thats about all he's ever done, the lazy imposter.Quote:
