Morecambe have the worst defensive record in the division having conceded 84 goals, they also have the divisions current top goal scorer, Cole Stockton with 23 goals, they are also far from safe from falling through the trapdoor into League 2 and scrapping out a win must be the order of the day for them.
For Pompey, it’s keeping the winning run going and showing the doubters that they are better than is believed.
For the individual players, it’s a shop- window, it’s a game where 50/50 tackles may not be attractive (a serious injury in a non-event game isn’t an attractive proposition), it may even prove to be a rare (or even a first start) in the First Team for a fringe player.
For Cowley it’s about convincing Eisner to keep the faith with him (given the history Jacketts tenure, that shouldn’t be difficult).
For Morecambe - everything to play for !
For Pompey - maybe just an end-of-term affair but against a side with a gaping door where the oppositions defence should be
Should make for an entertaining game !
