Shefield wednsday? - foxleyblue - 10-03-2023
So far we've played better against good teams.
Can we pull it out of the bag tomorrow?
pity there's not a fingers crossed emoji
RE: Shefield wednsday? - bluetagagain - 10-03-2023
Barnsley - we didn't play very well at all.
RE: Shefield wednsday? - dsmg - 10-03-2023
Nor against Petebro, Plymouth, Ipswich, Bolton a couple of times, Wycombe…In fact our record against the top eight is awful, only beating Bolton and Petebro at home. Just checked. 11 points out of 39

We're doomed I say, Doomed.
RE: Shefield wednsday? - teeftwo - 10-03-2023
One saving grace is that we have a manager who seems good at instilling confidence in the players after a loss. Fingers crossed for a decent showing.
RE: Shefield wednsday? - foxleyblue - 10-03-2023
Point taken.
RE: Shefield wednsday? - Northstander - 10-03-2023
They've only lost 3 league games all season and are on a run of 21 unbeaten league games. Ben Toner is the appointed Referee, last time he was here he let us play on in the puddles to beat Sunderland 4.0. If Pompey give it a go I'm sure a win is achievable. PUP

If he plays Scarlett and Dale again, not a chance. 4-0 to Wednesday.
RE: Shefield wednsday? - Pompeyg100 - 10-03-2023
Scarlett won’t play. I’d seriously question JM if he does, it wouldn’t be fair on Scarlett either.
Pompey 3-2 win
RE: Shefield wednsday? - Pedalo_menders - 10-03-2023
Our home form is pretty good. Did Wed's play midweek too? I think we can scrape a draw. I'll go for 2-2

With Curtis injured I would not be surprised if Scarlett plays in a home game. Mous likes to attack and having an extra striker on the pitch would fit that. Admittedly he was poor again at Barnsley, along with everyone else, but our best two chances in the first half came to Scarlett taking up a central position when Bishop was out wider. He missed them both, but getting him into those positions looked like a deliberate tactic, so I would not be surprised to see them tried again..
RE: Shefield wednsday? - Sharpe* - 10-03-2023
Massive game this is!
Not because of league positioning but as we're both big clubs with sizeable fanbases.
Atmosphere is going to be rocking and I've got my ticket!
PUP!

When Scarlett has played that position we get dominated in midfield as we have no real outlet on the LHS. I fear carnage if he tries that again. I'd, reluctantly, stick Jacobs there - not ideal but the most capable sticking plaster we have. Hopefully home form can get us a point.
RE: Shefield wednsday? - Pompeyg100 - 10-03-2023
If Scarlett plays and has a stinker I don’t see it ending well for him. Best left out of the side for everyone’s sake
RE: Shefield wednsday? - simonfkwit - 10-03-2023
Typical Pompey to win this one.
Get Prosinecki on the pitch pre match to get the fans up for it as well.

Sign him up as a forward coach.
RE: Shefield wednsday? - simonfkwit - 10-03-2023
Am sure that will be asked in the evening once or twice!
RE: Shefield wednsday? - bluetagagain - 10-03-2023
I think he'll play Jacobs on the left and Lowery in the 10 role as he'll want to play Tunni & Morrell>
I think 4231
macey
rafferty, Raggett,Towler,Ogilvie
Morrell, tunni
Dale,Lowery Jacobs
Bish

Jacobs has played most of his career in that position , so hardly sticking plaster. Admittedly he is better now in a more central role, but it is hardly a sqaure peg in a round hole.

"hardly a sqaure peg in a round hole" Never said it was; but he has not performed so well on the left when given the chance in recent games and Curtis would be most supporters preferred choice there if fit, hence a sticking plaster.
RE: Shefield wednsday? - Smirnoffexpress - 11-03-2023
Game of the season for me, Pompey 3-1 win.
RE: Shefield wednsday? - Gerry Hatrick - 11-03-2023
Hackett for Scarlett. Worth a try.
My confidence in Mous as "the answer" will diminsh greatly if Scarlett's on the team-sheet.
RE: Shefield wednsday? - Daniel - 11-03-2023
I’d play Thompson today but his sole purpose is to mark barry bannan out of the game
