Who out of likely starting 11 hasn't scored this season? Other than the keeper

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 !
CTID

Fuck knows, they've got no match thread on their own forum and get 2 posts a day by the looks of it

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.

It’s our 5 goal kit

The Reverend Skyblue · 2025-10-21T18:20:13+0100

Bit late with the line ups or are they normally this late

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.

Mate, anyone with eyes can see he is having a very good season.

His goal tonight will be the icing on the cake

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

Gibbo · 2025-10-21T18:26:53+0100

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....

They also come out an 1hr 15 mins before KO usually which is half 7 lol

This season just feels different. A bit like 2019/20

Wright said he couldn’t be arsed

CovInEssex · 2025-10-21T18:30:56+0100

skybluegod · 2025-10-21T18:31:10+0100

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

skybluecam · 2025-10-21T18:31:41+0100

5 at the back noooooooooooooo

Gynnsthetonic · 2025-10-21T18:32:16+0100

That bench

jackdg · 2025-10-21T18:32:42+0100

options off the bench tonight though

Briles · 2025-10-21T18:32:53+0100

Hope this isn't tinkering for tinkerings sake. At least if we are losing we have some firepower on the bench

Tommo1993 · 2025-10-21T18:33:03+0100

Right set up imo.

Domo · 2025-10-21T18:33:21+0100

Resting wright why not - very tasty bench

shepardo01 · 2025-10-21T18:33:21+0100

Interesting!!

Gibbo · 2025-10-21T18:34:07+0100

And there is me saying Frank never pulls any surprises and religiously sticks to 4-3-3. Oh well....

PVA · 2025-10-21T18:34:38+0100

Looks like 3-4-3 then. Looking forward to seeing Woolf.

Wot no Shepherd?

lifeskyblue · 2025-10-21T18:35:16+0100

Bit of a surprise that. But looks a strong 11 and bench.

David O'Day · 2025-10-21T18:35:23+0100

More than enough there to win and if we need it the bench is fucking great

Evo1883 · 2025-10-21T18:35:58+0100

Portsmouth is such a clean place btw compared to coventry

Gibbo · 2025-10-21T18:36:06+0100

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

Nick · 2025-10-21T18:36:58+0100

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

Guessing Thomas Asanta will be off the right?

Look good in the last few sub appearances, looked just more up for it

quinn1971 · 2025-10-21T18:37:22+0100

5-4-1 Or 5-3-2 over to you Portsmouth, set up against that
