    Pompey's return to League One begins today with a home game against Rochdale. The Pompey team is as follows:

    McGee;
    Talbot, Burgess, Whatmough, Holmes-Dennis;
    Baker, Rose;
    Evans,Pitman (c), Bennett;
    Chaplin

    Subs:     Bass, Davies, May, Naismith, Lowe, Main, Kabamba

    I'm assuming 4-2-3-1 formation. Good to see home-grown talent in Whatmough and Chaplin getting to start.

    Listening to Kenny Jackett getting interviewed by Express FM a moment ago made me think that the thing I will miss most about Paul Cook is hearing him pronounce everything as "Everton".

    Burgess has a shot from the edge of the area that's scuffed.

    Sounds scrappy to start.

    Rochdale have a dangerous cross intercepted by Whatmough and out for a corner.

    Pompey get a free kick just in their own half and just kick it straight out.

    End-to-end game at the moment and a lot of errors.

    Hasn't settled yet but it seems to have changed into a game of long-balls, with both sides kicking long and giving it away.

    Rochdale sound like they're attack and threatening more than Pompey - and just have their next corner - but there's not much to it as far as end result goes.

    Pompey doing better in attacking now but Rochdale dealing with it well at the moment.

    Chaplin goes down in the penalty area and it's a red card to Rochdale and a penalty.

    It was not quite in the penalty area so it's a free-kick, not a penalty, my mistake.In my defence, I'm listening to the radio and cant actually see what's happening.

    Pompey yet to take control in spite of the extra man.
