so..who was your man of the match

[J.Lisemore]

in my opinion it was Mark De Vries due to the effort and how well he held the ball up for other people and also setting up Hume for our only goal

if you disagree..go ahead

[Joe.]

Big Mark all the way

[TheBlinding]

MDV for me

Would it be easier to make this a poll?

[David Guiza]

MDV for me

Would it be easier to make this a poll?

weso had decent game i thought mdv did aswell but i would say clemence

[Raj]

Big MdV all the way!

[Thracian]

I can't split Hume and DeVries. Hume not only got his goal but had other chances including a well-worked left-footer which almost produced his second. DeVries got his assist and linked play so well. It really was hard to believe this was the lumbering HGV (sorry MDV) of old.

This must have been closeto the MDV who had such a good goals ratio at Hearts. He was a handful to Portsmouth and I can see him being even more awkward for Championship defences if they've also got to cope with Hume and Campbell.

[spirefox]

Clemence by a mile.

[Tommeh]

Clemence for me - lead well, battled hard and especially in the last 25 minutes took the game by the scruff of the neck and lead us forward. Finally we have someone willing to stand up and be counted.

shows the difference between are midfield last year and this year is there any comparison

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Hume or Clemence

[syston_fox]

for Leicester I'd say De Vries but my overall man of the match would be David James

[Milky]

Clemence

[davieG]

I thought Clemence was fairly anonymous until Kish went off then it was like he'd found a new vocation in life, and for the last 20 minutes or so was everywhere and into everything, I'm sure he felt a greater sense of freedom - whether that was because Kish went off and left him with more space/responsibility or Weso backing him up I'm not sure.

It certainly made me want to play Clemence and Weso as the two key mid-fielders.

MOM Hume

[teblin]

MDV for me.

Been made a scape goat in the past when other have been poor also!! (hume included)

Not saying he wasn't poor either but wasn't the only one.

[Jack]

Mdv for me

Thought he played briliantly against two physical defenders that were giving him a hard time but he showed some nimble footwork and looked comfortable on the ball.

and whats that mean when translated into english?

What he said

[Stuliasz]

Overall MOTM has to go to David James. Thought he was simply outstanding. As for us, toss up between Hume, De Vries and Clemence, probably Hume overall but De Vries looks a different player.

[filbertboy]

De Vries ...thought he did very well against prem opposition and could be an asset against championship defences. ( well i like to think think so anyway !! )

[Lichfieldfox.]

First half MDV, second half Clemence. For Pompey David James and Pedro Mendes.

Interesting dilemma as to starting line up next week. Great to see so much competition in so many areas of the park.

The lad who came on as last sub for leics (no 33) showed some quality defensive work at LB.Anyone know anything about the lad?

[David O'Leary]

Hume or clemence can't decide both absolutely quality
