Until the midfield is strenghtened or Adkins finds a way to get this team playing with the current available players, it will be the same outcome, wouldn't mind a draw but fear Charlton will lose by the odd goal.
it won't be the above line up but i think Lee could be the solution up top in a two and ina switch away from the 433 / high hoof scenario - get him dropping off in the zola/bergkamp/sheringham role and leko on the shoulder - arter pulls the strings in the middle, dobson holds, clare and cbt use their legs out wide - i like puzza but maybe rst him and get souare on the ball - famewho back in - he's a good player, just had a few shaky games, trying to do too much
So the Adkins bullshit this week is we’re trying to implement our playing style and basically he needs more time. He says we’re playin 433 but it still looks 4231. It’s shit to watch think we’re lose again. Please start playing 2 forwards especially at home.If it keeps up I think I’ll switch to watching the women’s team instead. Got to be more entertaining
Pompey are going to treat us like a cheap dockside whore. Toy with us at their leisure, ruthlessly reveal our deficiencies and leaving us full of self loathing and a rather nasty rash...
According to the Match Preview put out by the club a litle earlier Washington will be assessed before the game regarding his ankle.
Assuming he is fit to play I wouldnt change the team tooooo much from the starting line-up on Tues, although I would put Famewo in for Pearce & Gilbey for Morgan.
I would love to predict a win but seeing as both teams are shot shy then I'm going for coconuts......
0-0........and Adkins survives for another few days.

0-3
Last time I was with a cheap dockside whore she was quite complimentary and I hardly felt like a paying customer at all.
Will be very interesting to see the welcome the Pompey fans give to MacGillivray.
A rousing round of applause or something maybe not quite as friendly?
Probably the former... Their fans on twitter think him as their best Goalkeeper since David James and only left because Portsmouth didnt offer him a new deal
If Washington is fit to start then the same team with Arter coming in for Watson (if fit enough). Until Gilbey is fully up to speed we have to stick with Morgan in the two for the chance of some creativity, and, apparently Morgan looks better with an old boy next to him.
If no Washington then I'd be tempted, tempted, to put Davisson out wide with Leko through the middle to try and imitate that Washington role or Kirk wide with Davisson up top again. Two out and out wingers/ winger and Leko just destroys our pedestrian midfield.
But, yeah, what do I know 🤷🏻♂️

Another game to dread. Not looking fwd to another afternoon with a toxic crowd as we struggle to have a shot on target. Was so looking fwd to this season but there you go. 1-0 to Portsmouth with Curtis scoring and dancing in front of the covered end, I cannot stand him.
Pompey have sold out the away end and I may be wrong, but I don't recall us winning that many games against sold out support. Once again anything could happen, I'll go 1-1.

Pompey chose to let him go, as the contractual uplift was higher than they were prepared to pay
In a way, both teams are winners, we get a decent keeper, while they have the brilliant City kid Bazunu

I think we’re shoving signs of improvement, and while that’s from a very low base, I reckon we may be about to start turning our season round. Need to stop being so vulnerable down our flanks though. No idea who will and won’t be starting, but would like to see Lee, CBT and Davison again.
I’m bring my second oldest friend, who’s a Dulwich fan, so I hope it’s a decent game at least.

They've score the same number of goals as us this season, a mediocre 7 in 8 matches
I expect a tight match, one goal either way deciding it

Also our players do not seem as fit as most of the opposition we play, is this because Nigel changes his team substantially each game?
I believe Nigel has until the next International break to turn it around.
