Another chance to win back to back league fixtures for the first time this season!
Hopefully we'll have 2 cb fit for the game as Burgess should be back allowing Hawkins to move up front, although Main did ok v Gillingham and was unlucky not to score with his header that hit the post. Not a call i'd want to make. Still without a whole host of players. including top scorer Pitman, 2nd choice foward Conor Chaplin, 3rd choice CB, 2 left backs and a central midfielder
Looks like it is going to be a very tight game as I don't think there are many goals in either side at the moment. Hopefully Kennedy will push on from last week and cause some problems down that left hand side.

Mcgee
Thompson Burgess Clarke Donahue
Close O'Keefe
Lowe Bennett Kennedy
Main/Hawkins

I'd personally drop Bennett as I thought he was poor v Gillingham and go old school 442 with Main and Hawkins up top. O'Keefe and Kennedy have both played for MK Dons, so hopefully one of them will pop up with a goal, just like all our ex players seem to have done so far this season!!

I'm going for a 2-1 Kennedy, Clarke

Be good to see Matty Kennedy again, I liked him when he was with us.
Hopefully with Brittain and Cisse back, and Tshibola suspended we'll bounce back from that Bradford debacle, can see us drawing.

Praying for our first back to back wins. I really think we can be a force once we 'click', and have that confidence going.

Still need more players back I reckon. Burgess is fit so Hawkins can go back up front. He's not a goal-machine though so don't think we'll score many without Pitman or Chaplin.

Not getting too carried away after beating a struggling Gills team with worse injury problems than us. 1-1 draw for me.

2-1 if Burgess is back. Despite the injury worries we do have threats, mainly in the form of Kennedy and (when he's on form) Lowe.

A good win for Pompey. Glad to see they're settling into League One nicely if unspectacularly.

Do enough to finish in a comfortable position this season and then make a bid for promotion next term.

PUP. PPU.

That was the best first half we've had all season! We looked fluent and sharp, completely bossed MK and made our chances count. Second half we stepped down a gear, but they're all really good signs, especially with our injury list as it is. Hawkins is getting better with every game, he looks like another great non-league signing for us. I can smell the playoffs!

Tough next 3 games - I'd be content if we got 6/7 points out of those including today - but we're looking better with each game currently.

Thought Pompy looked a decent side, very attacking. One of the loudest home crowds I've heard, the 17k-ish Pompy crowd created a decent atmosphere in that first half especially.

Think they'll do quite well this season, a club that definitely deserves to be in the Prem/Championship.

Thought we were awful, too defensive and never looked like scoring.
