Tough game this but we always seem to beat Pompey. Has anyone got our record over the last few years? I'd be tempted to leave the team as it is depending on fatigue and injury. I'd start Chuks instead of Stockley
He would be bonkers to change the back four for two reasons. One, it kept a clean sheet during a time where we’ve been leaking goals, two, Gunter at CB worked wonders last time out against Portsmouth, unless of course someone can’t start due to quick fixture turnover.
Too soon for Watson, otherwise I reckon he would change one of the midfield for him, and Washington sounding like he’s out so two big men up top, so Millar will need to be on his game to get the service in.
I fancy us, 1-0 Stockley.
Exactly the team I think he’ll go for. Bit test I think because I don’t think we can afford to be start stop again. The form has been poor over the last 15 games. MK Dons was a positive, but we need to start showing we can turn the screw
Portsmouth play 4-4-2. If we play two big lads up front I would match them and consider starting Millar to the right side so he can cross with his preferred right foot. That would match him up with Lee Brown who is their 30 yr old right footed left back. It would also wrong foot any plans they may have to containing him. We could then move to diamond or move him over to the left.
I can’t see LB playing Aneke and Stockley. And I don’t think Pearce should start after his recent calamities. 10 clean sheets so far this season, Pearce didn’t start in any of those games.
first clean sheet in ages and FA has changed 2 of the back 4 - why would bowyer do that ? been calling for purrington's stability for ages due to the central defence problems and guess,what,m we keep a clean sheet. i'd use martsen from the bench for this one.

Bowyer seems to have found a way to play against Kenny Jackett’s Portsmouth and I think that will continue. Without Inniss and Famewo for a game like this it’s a real loss, but I believe we will still get through it.
Williams to come on and shine in the second half. That’s my prediction. He will put in a good performance that will force Bowyer into how/where we get him playing next week where he has a great week’s training.

Yes i think this is most likely Lee's team, I like it, with Albie ready to come on, Shinnie is gradually building match fitness.
I'm sure we will not start with Williams and Millar any time soon, Pratley stiffens the midfield.
My concern is if Millar gets an injury, the whole energy/pace of the team drop's, so fingers crossed!
Just when we have a nice situation with the forwards, we suffer an injury! Just so typical with us. Whats the guessing Chuks will suffer his first of season soon, while the transfer window closes.
Am actually looking forward to this game and expect a decent one.

This, apart from I would prefer to have Chuks on as the impact second half, still feel he works better then than as a starter, so if fit start with Washington, but he seems doubtful, so Schwartz and Stockley.
I think we can make it three-in-a-row. Several players are overdue a goal. If we can get forward like we did against Swindon last Saturday, I think we can kill it off and win comfortably.

They will be without defender Jack Whatmough for the next three games through suspension.
Whatmough had an appeal against his sending off in Tuesday's home defeat by Lincoln City rejected.
He was shown a straight red card for a foul on Jorge Grant in the first half and will miss the games against Charlton, Plymouth and Swindon.

We could then move to diamond or move him over to the left.

One question I have is who will be our other striker alongside Stockley?
Assume Bogle is still a part of our squad?
Am actually looking forward to this game and expect a decent one.
Do we have a youth that can fit that role?
half, still feel he works better then than as a starter, so if fit start with
Washington, but he seems doubtful, so Schwartz and Stockley.
Think we will 2-0 with Stockley bagging one and JFC the other.
I'm more thinking along the lines of Aouachria or Clayden?
