Portsmouth Manager: Michael Appleton Last season: 22th (Championship) Best summer signing: Simon Eastwood One to watch: Ashley Harris Portsmouth BBC Sport's Emlyn Begley: "For Portsmouth to even start the season is a success in itself. They looked likely to go bust for much of the summer and were only able to start the season after jettisoning all of their senior players. "However on the field, it is going to be a long season for Michael Appleton's side. They are likely to start the season with their youth squad and a sprinkling of trialists on non-contract terms. "With a 10-point deduction, Pompey will start the season bottom and will do well to move up to 23rd at any stage in the season. "Survival would represent an amazing accomplishment by Appleton but just playing Plymouth in their League Cup opener was their major goal this summer." ----- I'd say that pretty much sums it up
