    I predict a loss and a yellow card for Aneke.

    Think you have to play Washington. IMO the most intelligent footballer at the club. I’d put Mason on the bench for this one, particularly as the Chelsea youth team vultures are circling. 
    Be good to see Aneke and Washington up top. 
    He's a terrible finisher, I'm hoping he's only a squad player next season.

    1-0 win. Mason Burstow to be the 2022 Nicky Ajose.


    Nicky Ajose was mr big billy bollocks who was all puff and nonsense. Mason seems an honest grafter who cannot be compared to Ajose who wasn’t 
    To clarify. Ajose scored his final two goals of his Charlton career at Fratton Park in to separate matches.That was the reference I was making. 

    Oh right sorry

    Being saying this for as long as I can remember. So glad someone has done a graph to back it up!

    WTF is that!?

    Washington in the same area of the graph as 15 goal Matt Taylor.

    2-0 Pompey

    Can’t see us playing any better than we have in recent games, we got lucky Fleetwood weren’t up to much and undone by Hartlepool side a league below us because they wanted it more.

    Expecting another poor performance.  There’s no fight in this team.  

                       Mac

             Clare Inniss Famewo

    DJ                                           Purrington 
       
                   Dobson

            Morgan         Gilbey 

            Aneke           Washington 

    Subs: Hendo, Pearce, Castillo, Lee, Burstow, Watson, John

    Not very optimistic about this....we are stuttering along and look pretty clueless at the moment.

    Chanced upon this gem from 2016 whilst searching fruitlessly  for I-Player MOTD. 

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tv/entries/514c3b7e-65be-3fd6-8cf6-31fe89e4bba4

    Got me thinking, should transmission of live or recorded TV coverage be prefaced with a caveat? e.g. "And now, with scenes that some viewers may find distressing, it's Portsmouth vs. Charlton."
    Prompted further wonder. Is a "footballer" legally entitled to have redacted  any image or footage of his performance during the game?  One for the "Lawyers",  (certainly not the  "Leaders")  to mull over....

    Last I heard Stockley had a “ niggle”, he has been out weeks. What’s up?

    It's a similar niggle to the one Cory Gibbs had.

    Jackson said the only two long term injuries were Forster-Caskey and Stockley....cant see the latter any time soon.

    I have long felt thought that Washington lacks composure in front of goal. He is what I term as a misser which can be a problem for a forward. Having said that, he does seem to have improved a bit recently in that respect and his work rate can't be faulted. When I see improvement, irrespective of age, I am interested to see where it is going. Will it abrubtly stop or continue? It is mostly the former, but we can hope it is the latter in the case of Washington. Time will tell, but it is an exampple why the remainder of the season is important. Conor and a number of players have to show they are going to be useful to us next season where I presume we are going to try to get promoted.

    Were we right to presume we were going to try to get promoted this year?

    Expectations were high following Sandgaard saying we were going to blow this league away this season. 
    I don't think expectations will be anywhere near as high next season unless we have an unbelievable transfer window this summer.

    I never for a moment got caught up in TS saying we’re gonna blow the league away, although I had no issue with his over excitement. We’ve all seen enough to know that wasn’t the case.However to be where we are at the moment and playing how we are is a pretty disappointing. I think the minimum should have been a strong challenge for playoffs. If we were in with a shout I don’t think speculative jan. transfers would be where we are. Instead we’d  be looking at getting players suitable for the championship possibly.

    Can’t say I’m very confident. 2 - 0 to Pompey.

    If it was at home I'd expect us to win it but we seem to be a different team away from the Valley. Jacko needs to sort that out and maybe tomorrow will be the start of it but I won't be holding my breath.

    Not sure why we'd play our u23 goalkeeper as an attacking midfielder?

    Really intrested in watching Pompey for a number of reasons. 

    Their keeper, apparently he can play a bit

    Lack of hoofball as the Cawley's were lazily sterotyped for.

    Reeco Hackett Henry'slovechild as a wing back. 

    The Liverpool style triangle front 3.

    I must be getting old, Rob Lee's son is playing against David Hirst's.  They were the future once.....
