Our preferred starting 11 including Rudi... Grimes, Kitching, JDS and MvE I think.

I wonder what the Pompey are thinking , or if they are reading the criticism of our own players on here ?
I know they beat M/borough , but we are a different kettle of fish ……..

League leaders .
Top scorers by a mile .
How many City players in the top six scorers .
Unbeaten after 10 games .
Our most valuable player out injured , but we haven’t slowed down .

Let’s enjoy another fabulous away win , with our great team , that can only get better !

Portsmouth 2 home defeats this season, Norwich and Sheff Wed. People making out were playing PSG or someone. Frank will have the mentality to pass on to the players. They'll be more worried than us. I just think us Cov fans mentality is stuck in the low mark after all the shit years

A lot of fans think it is a great kit. Ipswich got promoted when their away kit was similar.

I don't think that's entirely true PVA.

JDS hasn't been great whilst he's been with us, admittedly towards the back end of last season and in some parts of this he's been a lot lot better but to say he's having a good season is stretching it a bit.

I’d disagree almost as far as saying that his calmness and arrogance in possession rubs off on the others around him. You can see Grimes in particular loves coming over to JDS because he knows they can ping it around one touch.

He’ll get done for pace and height occasionally over the season but it’s worth it for his key role in the possession based, dominating way we’re controlling games.

Two reasons I think

1. Last season's game
2. The length of our unbeaten run and run of clean sheets v the law of averages

50 minutes before KO is the deadline

Well I'm going for no goals conceded. This is our trademark.

I hope we get one or two.

Good luck to those making the trip, and I hope we finish with eleven men on the pitch, not nine....

3 at the back it is, very interesting. Wright clearly needed the rest. Good chance for Simms.

I thought Simms was impressive in his mobility on Saturday, not something you normally associate with him. Got its reward

It's still very attacking with the only CMs Grimes and Torp.

Guessing Thomas Asanta will be off the right?
