This week has gone very quickly, apologies for no post match Pompey thoughts, what a strange game that was! But there were some really good performances, especially from Noble, Lansbury and Cole, though everyone contributed. It was great to get the home hoodoo off our backs and get a win under our belts, albeit a close one.
Apparently we have some sort of local derby tomorrow, not sure who against. Hopefully the headlines will be about matters on the pitch and we can keep our excellent away record going, but the atmosphere will be markedly different from the one at Watford.
Team wise, again, it will be hard to mess with a winning formula, although you’ll want some strong heads and bodies tomorrow, so Faye or Diop could possibly get a look in. If anything, the occasion might get to Winston Reid, who despite starting well can let nerves get the better of him. I’m sure Sam will be watching his state of mind closely.
Anyway, my eleven to start
Green
Macca Faye Tomkins O’Brien
Taylor Noble Lansbury Faubert
Nolan
Cole
Bench: Reid, Boffin, Bentley, Baldock and Diop
These boys can get the result provided the occasion does not get to them, let’s hope they focus on the game and our fans focus on getting behind them. Come on you Irons!
