Strange, slightly anti-climatical, match after the hype of Saturday’s game.
The season is obviously more or less over for both clubs with the play-offs out of reach but there is always pride to play for. I would love us to finish the season strongly as a build up to next season.
I would hope that Jones reverts back to the right side of the back 3 and Sadlier reverts to the right side of the attack. This leaves us with the need to find someone to play left wing back. Afolayan anyone and maybe Gordon (a true left footer).
Also feel the need to start Dempsey at the expense of Williams.
I have no room for Kachunga in my side so it would be Bodvarsson and Charles as a 2 man attack.
Portsmouth are draw, loss, draw with no goals in their last 3 games but they were up against Ipswich, Plymouth and Wycombe in those 3 games.
As I say, a slightly subdued build up to this game and maybe a 0-0 draw.

I didn't even realise we were playing until I saw this post! Don't expect much to happen in this game and will go for 1-1.

Pompey are a low score, low concede team. DavidM beat me to it with that recent form in last 3 games. failed to score in 3, but all fairly tough games. only 1 conceded. before that they were on a good run. they've got 2 games in hand on us.i've had a read of their local press, most seem to think they are out of it too, apart from the Manager, Cowley, who, sort of has to, still believe, while there is still a mathematical chance.
hard to predict as a result. away games you're always more likely to chuck the towel in late season & have those "on the beach" moments. and we're generally hard to beat at home. 2 finely matched teams. we seem to have more talent, they seem more defensively solid. 2nd only to Rotherham for clean sheets. 17. we're on 11.
they didn't play at the weekend. so they should be fresher. some might argue we didn't play in the 1st half at the weekend !
i'll go for a 1-0 win to us. Baka.

Can’t get interested for this one I’m afraid. I’m not going over and this will be the first midweek game I won’t watch on iFollow if I’m not there. I agree with everything David posted on the team, with Sadlier on the right but reading Evatt’s words on him, I suspect he’ll once again be wasted at LWB and have to be moved to the right when it’s not working. Why can’t he just play players in their best position instead of trying to be clever? We’ll probably get his love child Kacha on the right again with the usual unimpressive performance leading to him being subbed off. Sorry to appear negative but I just think Evatt’s blown it with some of his selections recently!! Given we can’t score at the moment and they don’t score, I’m afraid I’m going to have to go for a dour 0-0 draw.

Cole ‘The Goal’ Stocktons stock must be going through the roof
I wish we’d signed him in January as I think we don’t stand a chance now. He’ll surely end up in the Championship next term

I think IE is happy with a 1-0 defeat with that sub (MJ instead of Baka) 😞

This is starting to look like another poor home performance with a lot of puff but not a lot else. We need another late goal COYWM
