Get Mane off FFS.

Clucking Bell

Pelle, Tadic and Steve Davis missing from our best XI, it shows.

Isgrove appears to be coming on, would be amazed if not for Mane.

Great commanding start by Forster

And we're off.

Strong team, lightweight bench with exception of Toby.

We took 22 players on the northern road trip. Absences tonight are Pelle, Tadic, Davis, Hesketh - who is the fifth absentee?

Cue the masses complaining about Bertrand playing in an attacking left role, from memory that is where he played in the CL final.

Shame, I understood he never wanted the job but took it because they offered him a stack of cash. Good bloke, I am sure he'll pick up a Championship or L1 role very soon.

2 out of 3

What was that superb ipad stream from the other week?

Everton, Palace, Chelsea, Arsenal and Utd the next 5 league game. We really need to pick up maximum points in the first two and whatever we can in the next 3.

@Smudge1962: RIP Andy Awford. People would have had more respect for you if you had admitted it was the board and not you that axed Macca. #pompey

The bubble has well and truly burst it would seem. onwards to Tuesday.

Sorry, I meant he now has Tuesday off.

Trying to think of some positives, will come back to you.

Pelle has rested himself for Tuesday night.

Cmon for **** sake we should be beating this lot.

Or even JWP, him the set piece expert and all that.

I personally wouldn't mind Clyne or Toby taking the penalties, at least they hit them.

Oh ffs

Gary Waddock sizing up the chair next to him yet?

System wise this gets Davis back to #10. This is a good thing.
