    Browne dropped? Neil sent off for 2 daft yellows and Browne brilliant down Pompey. No bother, straight back in skipper…

    I’d have kept it the same as last time for just that reason. Equally Neil is class. It’s mad the competition. But amazing. Need one better to make it the same up top after the next window but we’re miles ahead of last year .

    Im quite relaxed over who plays CM as I like our 1st 4 choice CMs

    Neil does give us better balance n browne was one of the last back from international duty so that might have played a part in the decision- if it is Neil

    Aye that’s a fair shout. Hadn’t thought of the internationals. Those at home will have been better prepared and fresher.

    I’m not that bothered myself but Browne would have a right to be pissed off imo.

    That's a needlessly negative spin on things.

    Dan Neil is our captain and has been our best, most consistent midfielder for 3 seasons now.

    is it? It doesn’t really bother me as I understand how important Neil is but as I said previously, Browne would have every right to be a little bit annoyed

    Get yourself sent off but don’t worry, you’ll be straight back in…

    You could argue that both yellow cards were him "taking one for the team" and contributed to us winning the game

    I agree Browne would have every right to be a little bit annoyed but he was probably aware that as captain Dan Neil was coming back in. I think Regis potentially would have managed his expectations on that front early on?

    Browne has been away on international duty and Neil hasn’t. Browne’s a big boy, he knows how competition and resting works.

    I think both were unnecessary tbh it’s why I’d have made him wait. But as I said, he’s class so only good problems to mull over

    You could argue it, but it’s a bit thin!
    Don’t change a winning side, Neil on the bench, can always bring him on.

    I say you play your best team for the game. Not the same team that won a game 2 weeks ago.

    Reggie has done nothing to not get our faith on his team selections.
