No way Simms should start over EMC, especially in a home game where you’d expect us to have most of the ball.
thisPortsmouth's away record is horrendous. 9 defeats in the last 10 away matches.
Take our nerves away from the conversation, this fixture is the best opportunity we could've hoped for after the last 3 games. It has to be be 3 points, no excuses.
Seems like the solution here is for Lampard to borrow the drum and stand in Block 15 for the nightAtmosphere will be lacking without the drum and the game has been made much tougher without Lampard being on the touch line. What a ridiculous and immature sending off it was. Hope it doesn’t cost us the play offs come the end of the season.
Frustrating as in 0-0 or frustrating as in 3-3 with our keeper throwing all 3 in?Cant get the idea this will be a frustrating draw out of my head
I would stick with Collins. We need to distribution from the back is going to play a big part in our game plan (yes I know Collins blah blah blah...)

hoping TATS is buzzing from his contract extension and scores a couple.
Been caught beating his drum to the wrong sort of music.....Where's drummer boy gone?
Wilson
MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Rudoni Grimes Torp
Saka Wright EMC
The shape is not to scale, but that is the personnel.
Too many of you are eager to change it because we have lost to two of the best teams in the league. Torp, Grimes, Rudoni are our best three in midfield, so they play. Likewise I do not see how Collins can go in after the weekend. Wilson is surely the better of the two options.
We went on a mad run with a similar side to the above, and I think we should stick to it for the remaining games. I am confident we can win tomorrow.
If they try shithousery we need to be at the ref.
Rumours/accusations of an Adam Johnson nature doing the rounds on social mediaWhere's drummer boy gone?
Been transferred to drum for the u15s at his own request.Where's drummer boy gone?
With Dovin out, think he's between the sticks.Where's drummer boy gone?

For me it comes to the lack of high ball recoveries in the opposition third ( we were 17th in the league a couple of weeks ago)Posters naming Sheaf in their predicted / desired line up is really baffling.

Ah yes, ‘too many are eager to change’ yet you’ve suggested that our best midfield trio is a midfield that have never started in a three together. Brilliant
He’s wasted all the ball he’s had the last two games id be fine with wright wide left and Simms down the middleNo way Simms should start over EMC, especially in a home game where you’d expect us to have most of the ball.
Someone wasn't at their best vs Sheffield United and Burnley so drop them? NahHe’s wasted all the ball he’s had the last two games id be fine with wright wide left and Simms down the middle
He's not been good against Derby or Burnley, but did well against Sunderland.He’s wasted all the ball he’s had the last two games id be fine with wright wide left and Simms down the middle
This is very poor trolling.
One was injured for a few games, but they have all started together.
Grimes, Torp, Rudoni are our best three midfielders and all have made significant contributions in our best run of form.
Got super bored and was interested to see if they had played together under Lampard as I thought they did.Ah yes, ‘too many are eager to change’ yet you’ve suggested that our best midfield trio is a midfield that have never started in a three together. Brilliant

The three of them have only started once together against QPR in the 3-4-2-1
It was the amount of ball he had and didn’t useSomeone wasn't at their best vs Sheffield United and Burnley so drop them? Nah
On paper a Sheaf/Grimes central midfield has to be one of the strongest in the division and certainly one of the best technically and ball playing wise.
However I don’t think it works in the current set up, neither are really a natural 8 and the limited times they’ve played together they occupied the same space.
To get them both in we’d have to revert to two holding CM’s and a 10, which doesn’t get the best out of Rudoni in my view.
It would be a big plus if FL found a way to make it work and to maximise his three best midfielders.
EMC has also dropped off recently but against “weaker” opponents he tends to step up. So I’d start him in the hope he finds his confidence again.
