Commentators on Radio Solent saying that Tranmere have created more chances than Pompey, and that we are struggling to get used to the terrible state of the pitch. However they are not taking their first half chances, and we are defending well.

We are missing the injured Andy Cannon in midfield. Wonder if Kenny Jackett will make any changes for the second half. Could be the kind of game that Gareth Evans would do well in.

 

Second half kicks off, with Tranmere replacing Kane Wilson with Liam Ridehalgh.
