As our players won’t be match rusty, not having a daft break from playing since the last game, I quite fancy us to win tonight 2-0 to the travelling Addicks and the Pompey manager saying it was his fault they lost because he played a full strength team for the FA Cup match and his players were now tired...
I wish Bowyer wouldn't babble so much about team changes before a game. 'Son' of Robinson.
Keep schtumm, Lee ...... and keep opponents guessing. Or at least float some red herrings.
Fair point, especially if Pompey had a game plan to target the inexperienced Stevenson down their right side.............but now can already plan for the fact he isn't playing.
Bowyer's thoughts ahead of tonights game I’d love to have Pratley and Josh – we’d be a completely different team. That is not disrespecting the players out there, but they don’t have the experience. Our midfield four on Saturday was three players aged 21 and a 20-year-old. They haven’t got 100 games between them. They haven’t done themselves any harm. But when you go to Portsmouth in front of 18,000 fans, they can find it a bit intimidating.
Having Reeves and Fosu both in midfield is way too lightweight against Portsmouth. Better Dijksteel and Lapslie, even if it curtails our attacking options (which we will not have many of anyway), and fight out a 0-0
I honestly had a dream about this game last night where there was an almighty scramble in our area in injury time and our keeper ending up saving a shot but it was adjudged to have gone over the line. Woke up gutted.

Sell the Club...……..not the players you…………..hole.
3-0........and the slide is on.
Portsmouth still have Barnsley and Sunderland to play before Christmas. If we can win today it could throw the league title wide open again.

“Wardy is another who I would rather be able to choose. The midfield is important – it’s where games can be won and lost. But I still think we will go there and win – if we do it right and defend the box, because they put a lot of crosses in. We’ll need to defend well.

I suspect in that situation, there’s be a lot more chest thumping confidence
The fact that we didn’t nick a goal and Blackpool did, means we are getting an EXTREMELY different reaction
The difference one goal one way or the other can make, eh!
I say we’ll give Pompey a great game and it will be tight again with the odd goal deciding it

2-0 defeat.
Three points or bust.
PS: It'll be a draw, then.
Will invest another £10.00 myself. Fear the worst but hope for the best...
Pompey punished. Promotion is on
Pompey 2 - CAFC 0
Naturally hoping I will be proved wrong!!
