Play Off versus Oxford.

[PompeyPhil]

Anyone else worried that having all players available means KJ won't know who to start and will wing it? Still not convinced he knows what his best team is...

[Locky_McLockface]

I think form is out the window for these. The key is going to be who adapts to the empty stadium first, and who kept themselves fittest over lock down.

Which is why certain fan-based outlets are awash with the rumour that Paul Downing is starting on Friday.

[Locky_McLockface]

I admire your optimism, but Oxford are without doubt one of our bogey teams. Have you seen the stats for the last 12 games against them? Won 1, Drawn 1 and Lost 10!

... agree, and they have a far better manager than us. However....

Statistical evidence points to the contrary position.

We're gonna cane them 4-0.


(then lose 3-0 in the second leg )

I'd happily settle for that

Two boring 0-0 draws and a loss on penalties......

Ne neither, but the way 2020 has been so far.....

[Berkshire Blue]

Couple of hours to go and I am getting a bit nervous - heaven knows how the lads feel after all this time!

Still, beers are in the fridge, larder stocked with snacks - so it's either a drink to celebrate a win or to drown sorrows if not.

I have ordered a dozen Blue, white and Red frosted donuts and will pick them up with a couple of Venti Starbucks, to arrive home 15 minutes before kick-off.... ESPN+ will be on the big TV and the kids 'homeschooling' will be a sporting experience

Best player on the bench

[Pompey Penguin]

No Naylor, but that is a lot of energy in the middle. I suspect that we are going to go for this all guns blazing from the off, and try and catch them cold, otherwise that line up makes no sense.

[PakefieldBlue]

Massive gamble by KJ, although he has seen them all training over the last few weeks so must have seen something to put Morris in ahead of Naylor and Brown ahead of Seddon. Fingers crossed it is a masterstroke!

[uspompeyfan]

I would have liked Marquis to start, but KJ will be judged in 90 minutes ...or less
