Basically just P-H in for Whyte on the bench, then. Strong line up, hopefully 3 points (noting P'boro squeaked it earlier).
An unchanged winning team is certainly a rarity for Mousinho. Contrary to suspicions expressed by whoever, Peart-Harris does not have a guaranteed first team place. Let's hope they're all up for it.
Mostly mundane 1st half. A few flashes of what we are capable of but also a few wobbles at the back where we were caught napping.
I'd expect the moose to give them a kick up the bum at HT. We have the match winners to win this easily. They just need to leave 3rd gear and turn it on.
unusually i cant remember hearing Lang's name???
Been pretty poor so far. But recently we have been a second half side so hopefully that will continue.
Sounds like Charlton had 2 gilt edged chances both fortunately missed. Pompey have come close a couple of times so 0-0 at H.T. sounds about right. Guy reckons their back 3 are wobbly so need to pressure them 2nd half. Pompey Don't try to play outfrom the back with the defenders we currently have playing. Let's go for the win 2nd half.

Our chances have been far better. I cannot believe we havent scored (twice!) We are by far the better side but until we score are vulnerable to a sucker punch. Charlton technically haven't had a shot on target.
2nd half sounds like we are 2nd best??
Norris is playing with fire today. Can’t understand why he’s effing about so much.

Bolton 3-1 down and santos sent off
If we can sneak a win it could be a season-defining day.
Not ideal, but none of the real threats made up any ground...and our GD improved.

Think how happy we would have been if we had won, even if Bolton & Derby had also won. We should be even happier with a point because they both lost. They can win their games in hand now and we would still be top.
Happy days.
Good point against our Bogey team.
GD in our favour now over Bolton I think.
Well done Pompey a hard fought point. Looks even better when you see results elsewhere.

Just to be pedantic, our goal difference stayed the same, other people's deteriorated.
If theirs deteriorated and ours remained static, our goal 'difference' improved though, yes?

No, our goal difference remains the same (+28) . Neither improved nor worsened.
The difference between our goal difference and Bolton's goal difference improved though.

Chief pedant.
You could pick an argument in a morgue.
