Portsmouth Paul Jones Matt Fish Paul Robinson Jack Whatmough Dan Butler Jed Wallace Danny Hollands (Capt.) Marcus Bean Miles Storey Ryan Taylor Craig Westcarr Substitutes Michael Poke Nicky Shorey Ben Chorley Johnny Ertl Nigel Atangana Lee Holmes Ricky Holmes So new boy Lee Holmes starts on the bench. There was no way that Awfs could consider changing a team that had won so convincingly last Saturday at home to Morecambe. Along with his namesake Ricky, we have good options on the bench. Time will tell ! PUP PPU
Injury to Ryan Taylor - replaced by new boy Lee Holmes, with Miles Storey switching to the centre of attack.
1-1 !! Superb equaliser from around 20 yards by Jed Wallace (who else !) with his 11th goal of the season.
2-1 to Rovers now. Come on Pompey ! We are actually having most of the possession in the second half.
Penalty to Tranmere, and it's saved by Paul Jones, but then tucked away by Max Power at the second attempt. 3-1 to Tranmere. Ricky Holmes on for Mr Bean.
Quite right Lapras. Pompey should have named Holly Golightly on the bench. Final whistle. 3-1 to Rovers godammit.
I am just so glad I was away in Berlin for this match. So disappointing. Just what the hell is up with our players?
