Stat Attack
W3 / D3 / L10

Rovers have only played Portsmouth 6 times in the last 30 years, winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 3. The last loss came in 2012, which saw Rovers relegated to L1; most Rovers fans will never forgive the Kitson Dave Kitson for his behaviour in that game. We actually won the last encounter at Fratton Park 1-0 back in 2012; Iain Hume the scorer.

I expect a loss here, but an exciting game.

Marosi
Richardson, Butler, Wright, Evina
Houghton, Rowe, Blair, Coppinger
Marquis, Williams

subs: Etheridge, Calder, Baudry, Mason, Beestin, Middleton, Mandeville

[Bristol Red Rover]

Enda Stevens starts for Pompey, on the bench are Kyle Bennett, Curtis Main and Milan Lalkovic. That's 4 goals for then to start with. Not sure I could take Curtis scoring against us!

Good morning everyone, hope we can come away with something at Fratton Park. I'll take a draw.

I'll take that, albeit with some beta blockers.

[IDM]

Our defence isn't as good as it should be, not yet.  But joking aside I can't see us conceding that many! 

I hope we can win this but a draw isn't the Enid of the world.. If Main does score, so be it - we let him go..

[Bristol Red Rover]

Lose this game and we could end up in 12th place 

[goalkick]

Evina still kept his place.

[Bristol Red Rover]

Good travelling support 

[Dutch Uncle]

I was hoping Garrett as a left sided defender might be up to taking Evina's place, and he's not even on the bench?

Injury setback, or just not rated by Fergie?

Camped in their half. Have them pegged back. Let's not flap at the back...

We'll be on top until Pompey work out our weak side.

Goal! Portsmouth 0, Doncaster Rovers 1. John Marquis (Doncaster Rovers) left footed shot from the left side of the box to the bottom left corner.

[RobTheRover]

Keeper done at the near post?

Criminal.  I hope the "amazing" Pompey fans are on his back!

Camped in their half. Have them pegged back. Let's not flap at the back...

All them now

[Bristol Red Rover]

"Lot's of huffin and puffin from Portsmouth, not looking as though they can blow the house down" 

[glosterred]

Sounds like another injury with Richardson coming off. Calder on

COYR

[DearneValleyRover]

Calder on in his place

[RobTheRover]

Need to take this lead into H/T.  Regroup and fire them up again for the 2nd half.  Just need a clean sheet and this is in the bag.

[eastender]
