KO: 1500 Venue: Dagenham Can Pompey make it 3 wins on the bounce? I would think 75 points will seal a play-off place, maybe a point or two less. It will be good for the DNA of the club to be involved in the play-offs, as it will broaden the clubs and fans experiences. Maybe, just maybe the club can reach another play-off next season (in League 1, we hope)

Oh I'm already very experienced when it comes to the play-offs and experienced in suffering defeat in the play-offs, courtesy of Farnborough.
I wonder which team will show up today.... the one that is hungry to win or the one that loses concentration at the end. Third time's a charm... let's have a win eh lads?
Portsmouth 1 Paul Jones 2 Ben Davies 6 Christian Burgess 20 Matthew Clarke 3 Enda Stevens 8 Michael Doyle (Captain) 29 Danny Hollands 23 Kyle Bennett 7 Adam McGurk 11 Gary Roberts 21 Michael Smith Substitutes 4 Adam Webster 10 Marc McNulty 14 Kal Naismith 19 Conor Chaplin 24 Brian Murphy 26 Gareth Evans 33 Ben Close Unchanged side, and subs bench, with the exception of keeper Ryan Fulton being replaced by Brian Murphy Why, oh why Cookie - let us hope we don't need to use him.
FFS. I knew this would happen. The inconsistency in this team smells a bit like arrogance to me. They thought they only had to turn up at the Newport game to get three points and got stung and the same thing will happen here if Cook doesn't bang some of their bloody heads together at half time.
Bristol Rovers losing. Plymouth losing. Every time we get a chance to close the gap, gift-wrapped for us we F**k it up
Half time whistle, and it's 1-0 to the home team. Cookie will hopefully get stuck into PFC players during the break - threaten to bring on Marc McNulty for Gary Roberts who apparently has been poor in the first 45 minutes perhaps ?
They've all been poor from the sounds of it, they sound like they're half asleep - do they all go out on the lash on a Friday night or something?
The 'As things stand' table at half time shows us 6 points adrift od autos and only 4 points clear of 8th.
