Wow. Watching this Town in 5. The sheer focus from all of our players in the tunnel, in the warmups, coming out. Incredible, they got themselves so up for it.
That speech from Dara while they sing their never mind the danger sh*te gave me goosebumps. We were always going to win with that level of focus.

They totally got it. They zoned in on the whole occasion. They knew what it meant, they knew how long we had waited. Nobody can slag this squad off again especially that no connection bollòcks.

I think it's also telling about how Mckenna said they actually focussed on this as a derby, and not part of the business end of a leaue campaign that is ultimately just 3 points to play for.
They absolutely got it and how much we wanted this. The focus was razor sharp, could hear so many more voices, more than in usual build up to the games. every single one of them stood up. All the coaching stuff deserve a lot of credit, they absolutely primed the squad for this game and it paid off.

Little details as well such as moving the huddle in front of the away end, small but big

Putting the linesman in his place was my favorite. "Just waiting for the boys and then we'll go together thank you". Proper captain
I loved that too. Can't believe anyone doubted this guy as a captain (i may have been one, I thought he was too quiet, I couldn't have been more wrong!!)
Also the way Dara looks after the group on the pitch. Any confrontation or shoving of one of our players and he is the first there getting in their face.
And to top ot off his performances seem to be getting better and better.

One hundred percent. There were times this season the squad was hard to like - but I fkkking love every one of them.

Yes, absolutely no excuses for any more of that. They deserve everything we can give over the next three weeks to help them over the line.
Going to need a lot more of that focus after the high of this win. Getting back to business with a quick turnaround with an 'easy' (no such thing) game with little prep is going to need a big mindset from everyone.

Agree with that – Tuesday is I think going to be a lot more difficult than people expect, massive if we can come through it.

The connection thing... it's stupid as it's obvious but I think it's something I've had to bizarrely work through - it's not betraying those who came before to connect with the current squad. What happened in 2023/24 was miraculous, and is unlikely to happen again. I think there are valid questions about our recruitment policy but that's not the players fault; we're in a strong place moving forwards and yesterday felt like a real team performance.

There’s no denying it a took a bit of time, that’s just natural but it only come out after a loss

Don’t forget it took about a year for that group of players to come together too, so I’m not surprised. With the odd obvious exception, it takes time and patience.

I agree. I’ve only been to Fratton Pk once and it’s a mighty hostile place. Great support and they’ll be up for it. I hope there’s no hangover from this weekend. As you say, it’ll be massive if we come through it.
