This is a bit left field but is it possible that DH decided to use the first few games to try out the majority of available players to see their abilities and having decided then for the Portsmouth game used the best set up with what he considers his best available players ?
We have won 10 of our last 11 games at Fratton and have lost only 5 of our last 24 fixtures against Pompey, with an amazing 16 wins - BUT we are still behind on our all time h2h against them!!!
If it wasn’t for the fact that we didn’t win a game between 1939 -1954 (19 games), we would have a good record against Portsmouth.
Yes they used to be our bogey team, and now we're their bogey team. Odd how that's happened.
Maybe one day we will become Millwall's bogey team along with Pompey's.

Yeah, just you wait Millwall, you'll never beat us again.
