Right here we go again, this time at Fratton Park.
We've got both Watson and Lurch suspended, Maddison injured to add to the usual missing.

I’ve never believed in a player being Charltonised before... but the case of Marcus Maddison might be the one that changes my mind FFS!3

I hope we go 442.
Keep Pratley in midfield2 -
It’s a decent line up given what we have available but I’m just desperate to see us put out our strongest available XI sooner rather than later. Feels like that hasn’t been an option for us since August 2019 for various reasons.0

Sounds like he rolled it again in training yesterday. He wouldn't have been on the bench on Tuesday if he wasn't considered at least fit enough to play some part, Callum.

What's up with Maddison now?0

It's one thing for Gunter to play right sided CB in 3 at the back, but he's not really a CB - unless he's surprised a few in training.
So I wouldn't start him in at a flat 4 at the back.
Bowyer might think different, of course ha ha

Seems Gunter has played CB twelve times in his career with one of his five goals coming when he played there... Anytime scorer today?1 -

No Morgan on the bench. Really out of favour, it seems.
Ignore me, I'm unwell.
Williams needs to make an impact, can't afford to carry him.

Surprised Barker isn’t on the bench, not sure there’s need to have Levitt, Morgan and Vennings all there.6

iFollow have just shown Gunter at Right-Back with Matthews next to Famewo...2

No doubt in my mind, if he'd been fit he would have started.
Today we needed his creativity, pin point crossing and perhaps even a goal from outside the box.

LB rates Matthews a lot.
I don't think this is a game for JFC in a storm, I'd rather start Levitt but let's see. Come on boys a win today would really be showing the rest.
Surprised Barker aint even a sub. Let's hope we get no injuries/sending off CB position0 -
This was always going to be a tough one without two key players. Looks like it’ll be five at the back, which it should be given that Gunter isn’t actually a centre half and is only one for playing in the middle as part of a three. I don’t think this line up gets the best out of everyone if it is 3-5-2. You’re asking a lot of JFC defensively, asking Gunter and Pratley to play slightly out of position and putting Washington in a role where he’s a bit less effective than he is coming off the wing. It will be interesting to see how we perform without two of the players who have been such a key part of our clean sheets. I suspect that might end today so let’s hope Bogle and Williams can get their first goals for us as I think we’ll need more than one1

Team formation per the iFollow coverage:
Maybe Gunter and Matthews switched round, Old Man Prats slightly deeper at centre-half-back, and Willo slightly further upfield at centre-half-forward.2 -
