Kings Lynn tomorrow. Could be a bananna skin for us if the players don't take seriously. I'd like to see Jordy Hiwali given 90 minutes alongside Harrison with his knockdowns. Also, Mnonga & a few other fringe players given a chance to show what they can do. Hopefully, we score early & knock in a few but the longer it stays scoreless the more confidence they'll gain.
Agreed about Jordy, keen to see what he can do when given a run
Think Jackett will have to take the game seriously, The Eisners will see a money making cup run as means to bring in some much needed cash, OK, we might beat KL and get a crap draw away to some team of minimal TV interest but a home draw bringing the BBC/SKY cameras to Fratton with a sack full of money is also a possibility.

Agree about Jordy boy, Mnoga and fringe players but possibly Curtis, Marquis etc on a very strong bench just in case things come off the rails (and they will somewhere this weekend).

Not suggesting that today is a season defining game but we have a run of pre-Xmas league games with some early six pointers amongst them (Blackpool, Peterborough, Ipswich,  Fleetwood, Hull) the results of which may prove pivotal if we are to finish in the automatic promotion spots

Of course Jackett will have one eye on Tuesday and Blackpool but beat the team in front of you is today’s order of the day
Game's a dead rubber. Might tune in for a few minutes in between eBay purchases and funny cat videos on You Tube.

I certainly don't believe that Gerry. There will be a Cup upset somewhere this wk/end & if we don't score early I can see us struggling with our unreliable home form. BTW all the game's Live in Talk Sport 2 today.

Thanks watching it now
What a crackkng goal from Naylor
Mustapha Hadji....Youssef Chippo....Steve Antrobus....
Bit disappointed with our passing and retention of the ball. A few players guilty of being Billy big bollix and not concentrating. Harrison and & Curtis (shot aside) poor. What does Williams do or offer? he's all huff and puff with no end product.
Like to see Hiwula on and Naylor's goal was a worldy.
still going for 6-0
4.0 i'll go for
Thank God that music has stopped
3-0 Super Ragg
Not bad i went for 6-0. Hiwulas goal a cracker
Six different scorers - and Curtis and Marquis not among them!
Was Hiwula’s cracker of a goal just a flash in the pan or a real testament to what he can do ? Agree Bluetagagain, too many Pompey players trying to cruise through the game......and as for that music !

Now we have to await our fate in the draw, away to the winner of Marine v H&W would almost certainly see us in front of the cameras and well placed for the 4th round.....but we will probably end up with a long trip away to Middlesbrough !
Chorley look like two banana skins at once!
