[Gleneagles65]

We’re odds on to win. I think 90% of Portsmouth fans would take a draw.

I don't know what to expect. Its a tough place to go always, particularly on a night in midweek I think. They beat Boro there recently... but then on the flip side we're obviously better and they also managed to lose at home to Sheffield Wednesday.
Genuinely don't know what to expect from this one.

Yep over 3-1 odds on a one off match

I think al football fans, when they're doing well, have a sense that it's all about to crash down, especially when you're used to a team not having success. Every game I have been thinking that this will be the one that we lose and it keeps not happening. Obviously it will at some point, every team loses a few. I think this season is very different from the last 2/3, we lok good all over the pitch. I actually think we should win this, the boys will out for revenge.

I’m sorry but all the fretting over a team with Marlon Pack and John Swift in midfield is ridiculous.. change your mindset people, you need to if you want to go up automatically

Can’t believe people would drop Saka over EMC. Think EMC has been very meh recently.

I have no idea how fitness management works for games like this. Whatever the iPads say I guess.

EMC very meh recently

The 2 goals came from he's Crosse's.

 

[Speedies_Chips]

Sounds mad to be negative with the results we’ve had, but just feel we’ll come unstuck in this game. Hope I’m wrong.

Tbh, I have a bad feeling about this one too. I thought Pompey were good last night and they’ll be full on. The sort of team we struggle to cope with.

I like Tats and I don’t know if I’m imagining it, but to me he doesn’t seem to perform as well in away games. Anyway, I’ll leave it for Frank to decide

Think it’ll be a tough game, but on the other hand Pompey have one win in the last six.

I agree with you CKNQ.

I also more importantly wish the term 'meh' could be banned from UK forums - it's an import from The Simpsons and is up there with 'my bad' and 'coming this fall' in creeping Americanisation.

 

[StrettoBoy]

If we score first then I think we will win.

Probably a draw if we concede first.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Had a niggling feeling for a while this will be our first defeat and cant even say why

I know why…it’s so my bloody parents can be all smug about Pompey beating us again.

Did you see them vs Leicester yesterday…and us vs Blackburn now I come to think about it.

 

[mmttww]

King, Austin and Lampard out.

and don't forget Dr Robert(s) as well!

 

[Flying Fokker]

Revenge is what I want. It was a tough last time. Should be a good game.

 

[TomRad85]

and don't forget Dr Robert(s) as well!

How could I?! She'd be the first out the door. #DrRobertsOut

If we play more like the second half yesterday we should get a result, more like the first and Rushworth will need to earn his corn.

Whatever the iPads say I guess.

People are praising Lampard and the background staff, it’s all down to the iPads.

Yiddish apparently. Language is fun man, don’t have a cow.

Get out of town !! Wash your mouth out, we don’t except negative thoughts 🫵

I can… same ref as we had for Norwich…..

(Not that you can really blame refs but he will either give something or not that will have an impact on game after the last performance)

 

[procdoc]

I can only see another win to be honest
