Beating Portsmouth away would be a big win for us right now. Especially under floodlights with noisy home support.
Somehow this side has to find that balance of flair and steel to start putting teams away. We cant go on much longer with this one step forward and one back all the time.
We have all seen patches where we look very good. Thats the annoying thing. Its hard to fathom how we can go from having strangle holds over opponents to letting them fully back into the match.
I think we need a bit more physicality up the pitch too. Somehow get Pigott alongside Bonne. I wouldn't start with Fraser or Celina either who I think are both a little physically light. Id play Chaplin for his energy. Burns instead of Aluko. Morsey and Evans. Maybe more of a diamond midfield. Full backs would have to push on.
And Id pump them all up to go out there and fight for it!
The shape won't happen I know. [Post edited 19 Oct 2021 10:57]

I really want to believe but a windy tues night at Fratton park, can't see much other than a 2-0 defeat here.
They need a win as much as we do and we are very fragile away from home. If we can't impose ourselves at the Abbey i have no idea how we are going to do it at fratton Park
If we can get anything I'd take it. A defeat and surely the club are considering this isn't working and is showing no signs of doing so. |  |

Not drawn a blank all season and scored 2 goals 7 times. 2-0 seems a bit pessimistic, no? |  |

When we beat Villa away to overtake them at the top in '81 it seemed a "statement win".
Unfortunately, then muffing it against Norwich and Middlesborough proved it was no such thing.
Four 1-0 wins in a row, however, would be a better statement. |  |

I think Burns hasn't let us down. Has the pace on the break and has also scored goals. Still think he starts ahead imo.
Evans I think needs to continue. He scored that hat trick. He needs a good run alongside Morsey. |
Burns has been our best player (apart from Bonne maybe) especially in creating opportunities. He did pick up a knock in the doncaster game though which maybe why he wasn't used so much last game. Once again though we are overloaded with quality players in just a few positions on the pitch. Need to start getting some quality in defence. | | | |

I'm usually quite upbeat which is probably why I'm doing so sh1t with the prediction league but tonight I can't see anything other than a defeat
Hope I'm wrong
2-1 |  |

Maybe, guess we'll see in a few hours but it's the first time this season I've expected us to lose.
We're due a blank at some point and can't see anything in the GK and defence that thinks we are going to stop conceding these awful goals.
We've lost our last 5 to Portsmouth and unfortunately I just see a rather comfortable 2 goal defeat. | |

Big game this one. Pompey’s rubbish form versus our rubbish away form. Curtis vs Donacien will be interesting. En route now in what I hope will be a dominant display from Morsy steering us to a 2-nil win. |  |

Statement win? No. It’s a game we ought to win against a very average Portsmouth side. | | | |

Even if he wins tonight, we have chucked away this season, he's still got to go for me. Not good enough. |  | | |

Not sure it is a statement win, Portsmouth have lost 7 of 9 but its a very needed win and good that we are actually playing a 2nd half for once!
Much needed and unexpected from my pre-match pessimism but we must kick on. | |

Yeah, they seem to be in freefall. Plymouth will be a much better indicator of where we're at. |  |
