If we were offered a draw now I’d take it. ☹️

He was really starting to come good before he got injured but he hasn’t looked the same player since.

Credit to Pompey, they have been more up for it than we have.

If we lose this - which would hardly be a surprise the way it's going - that's 4 defeats in the last 5 games, including what would be defeats by Derby and Pompey. We have got to pull something out of the bag and win this one somehow.

Great cross by Milan.

Pompey way ahead in the attacking stats: 8 shots to our 2 and 14 touches in our box whilst we have had 3 in theirs.

Collins nearly got the first of his expected brace for Pompey there. We were lucky and to be honest, the way we are playing, we couldn't complain if we went a goal down. We need to improve if we are going to win this one. We don't look like scoring, so one could be enough for Pompey.

That's where it starts to get tricky for us. With Collins in goal you will have 12 players, as he will effectively be playing as an extra striker for you. We will be down to 10, as we will be without a goalkeeper. My earlier optimism of us winning 2-1 has now gone. I think it will be 7-0 to...

I would start with Sheaf, if he is fully match fit, to steady the ship defensively. We have enough creative players to win this. It's the defence - as usual - that worries me, especially with Dovin out.

I'd rather have an unfit Wilson than a fit Collins 🤣

This is a big game for us, although having said that all of our remaining games really fall into that category now. It's not a cast iron "must win" game but it will most certainly be a large dent in our play-off hopes if we don't. I can see Portsmouth parking the bus in the hope of keeping a...

Kitching not blameless but that’s mainly down to Collins. ☹️

George Hudson. 🙂

I think Birmingham will be in the mix for promotion next season. Wrexham is a more difficult call but if they continue to get serious financial backing then they could be as well. I think it will be be a real battle between a lot of closely-matched teams next year. With a bit of luck we won’t...

This could easily end up 5-0. ☹️

We are looking overrun at the moment. ☹️

Collins in goal for the rest of the season. Deep joy! ☹️

It had a look of inevitably about it as soon as I saw Gus teeing it up.

I think Da Silva is unlucky to be dropped after a good performance against Sunderland. My guess is that, with Binks in for Kitching, Lampard wants to strengthen the left hand side of the defence. It makes sense.

If we play as we did against Derby then we lose 6-0. If we play as we did against Sunderland then we win 3-2. I’m going for a score draw, probably 2-2, which would be a good result.
