Just a warning that Wycombe are the dirtiest team in the league at tackling, we lost Watmore for the season and two other players got clatted there. Great win for you against us on Sunday you deserved it but come the league game i hope we win and go up. We should both go up.
I swear to god we're always playing them! They're a bunch of twats lead by that long haired sod. The most cynical team in the league - I remember them time wasting in the first half whilst in League 2! My other memory of them is that midweek game called off a few years back because of torrential rain and thunder. Must win.
This will be a very critical game for Pompey. So easy to take your foot off the gas slightly after the high of Sunday - but we cannot afford todo so!
The Wembley celebrations are starting to die down and Pompey’s focus must return to the bread and butter of league football. Barnsley and Sunderland are currently in pole position to claim the second automatic promotion spot behind leaders Luton. But the Blues know that they must continue to pick up points in case those sides slip up in the final few weeks of the season. Next up is the relatively short trip to face a Wycombe side also desperate for wins, albeit for different reasons. Gareth Ainsworth’s troops are currently sitting in 17th position and just a couple of points above the drop zone. And with no side in the bottom half of League One safe from the drop, Wanderers will want to claw themselves up the table. The Chairboys have not tasted victory in any of their past 10 fixtures and have lost three on the bounce. You have to go all the way back to January 26 to find the last time they emerged triumphant, with just three draws to show for their efforts since. Gareth Evans and Brett Pitman were on target in a 2-2 draw when the sides met at Fratton Park earlier in the season. TEAM NEWS Bryn Morris is available again for Pompey following a knee problem. He spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Wycombe and scored against the Blues back in September. But the visitors will be without Andy Cannon (thigh), Dion Donohue (groin), Luke McGee (hand) and Viv Solomon-Otabor (calf). Nathan Tyson returns from a three-match ban for Wycombe, but Darius Charles (knee) is a long-term absentee. HEAD TO HEAD Overall Pompey: 3 wins Wycombe: 3 wins 5 draws At Adams Park Pompey: 1 win Wycombe: 1 win 2 draws TICKETS Pompey have sold their full allocation of tickets for this match and no more will be available to buy on the day of the game. BETTING Pompey are the 21/20 favourites with Sky Bet to secure all three points, while the hosts can be backed at 5/2.
The must win games are the play-offs. Just can't quite see Pompey catching Sunderland or Barnsely. Perhaps the "loss" on Sunday has made Sunderland really angry and determined to get that second promotion slot.

Brett Pitman shot goes really close for Pompey. 13th minute. Jamal Lowe involved. Jamal has already had one shot on the turn just over the crossbar.
Attempt saved. Gareth Evans (Portsmouth) right footed shot from a difficult angle on the left is saved in the bottom left corner. 15th minute. Sorry, I missed that earlier !!
Free kick from McCarthy, is pushed round the post by Craig MacGillivray. Wycombe win their first corner of the match. 35th minute
Matt Bloomfield going off with concussion after an accidental clash of heads. Replaced by Curtis Thompson. BBC Radio Solent saying that after receiving treatment, the player was staggering about on the pitch, as if he had drunk half a dozen pints.
Sounds like Pompey are having a lapse!!! Come on Pompey win this one and if the scores stay the same at Burton and Rochdale, we can all have those happy thoughts again and miss the play-offs by getting 2nd. Not that I expect it will happen, but then last week's victory was unexpected. Hope for too much and we are left with disappointment, when it is not expected the joy is so much better.
