Pompey: Norris; Shaughnessy, Raggett, Towler; Kamara, Pack (c), Morrell, Lane; Lowery, Devlin; Bishop

Subs: Macey, Ogilvie, Sparkes, Whyte, Martin, Scully, Saydee

Formation change? Can only assume Rafferty is injured?

Playing three at the back otherwise Swanson and Sparkes would be playing will throw Fleetwood off guard hopefully

I'm not sure there is much 'back' about lane and Kamara as 'wing backs'

Lowery first start for some time; gaff-prone Sparkes only as a sub; Towler and Devlin given starts; Ogilvie on the bench.

Surely this has a reasonable chance of performing better than last week's team?

Hope so but trying to analyse what are the reasons for the changes is it because we have been found out in the way we play, is it because our defence is not playing as well as we should be by not playing out from the back, and being caught in possession when we try to?

[Sam_Brown]

Good to see a change rather than continuing with a formation that’s not been performing. Will be interesting to see how we get on. Here’s hoping!

[Pompey1984+1]

I'm a bit worried that we will be vulnerable to Fleetwood's wide men.

Sounds like the reason for the change in formation

According to Whittingham we are deffo playing a back 4 with Devlin at right back.

Now he is saying 3 at the back on iFollow.
