    With Godden out, you'd think we would have chosen TC or Kelman, just to make sure one of Dykes and Leaburn always remains fit. Just an armchair observation, not criticism 😉

    Their fans don’t seem too happy with their starting XI on Twitter.

    Evening all

    I had to fight my way through the masses to get to my seat but thankfully made it there OK.



  • When we are 3-0 up I fancy a cameo run out for Collins Sichenjo to keep the Kenyans happy? What price a goal?
  • One thing I love about NJ, we play good football by our usual standards the last couple of games, and then he goes back to the two big men up top. 

    Nice to have a strong and balanced bench though.
    Was Godden a big part of that football last game though? I’m not sure he was 
    I wasn't necessarily specifying Godden, given Kelman was present the game before. 

    Not saying the top two won't work, just a preference for a more balanced strike partnership.

    No offence but as a regular,  why do you sit where you do? Surely more central is better?

    You will see that when TC comes on for one of them late in the game. Up until then it will be a battering for the Pompey defence from the first minute.

    Sitting 130 miles away at home in the warm would have been even better! (And I would be in bed at a decent hour - instead of getting home after 1am - so that I could be nicely refreshed for my birthday tomorrow)

    When the top deck was put on the Covered End Blocks M and N were non-smoking so that's where we got our seats when we moved upstairs. For the first couple of seasons we were in M, three or four rows from the back but we got fed up with the pissheads in front of us and people behind who didn't like us standing ... so we moved to the back row of Block N and have stayed here since.

    Might explain the Antonio rumours if Godden has an injury??? 
    That's what I was thinking.

    Team announced on Facebook and there are already well over 440 comments mostly posted from East Africa. They’re outraged that their boy is ‘benched’. “Is he the manager?” “Why don’t you loan him to Man Utd and he can bench there” “Only Sichenje must give the post match interview” etc. Brilliant!

    Tbf is this lad is decent it will be really smart business by the club as the interest is definitely there. I fancy a 10 minute cameo at some point and a straight red lol

    Think that's an edit after the teams were announced. Where has it been said it's a hamstring, other than it the OP?

    Like that starting XI 

    TC to be the game changer, expect him to replace Miles after an hour

    Does anyone read the match thread opening page...🤦‍♂️
    Next time say that Godden has been abducted by aliens, to see if anyone is actually reading your post  ;)

    We're due an opposition red card and Marlon Pack is here. That's probably a good sign

    Plenty of noise from the Pompey mob in the Jimmy Seed.

    They might as well sing now because shortly they'll have nothing to be excited about for two hours.
