[Archived] Portsmouth Vs Blackburn Rovers

[Tim Southampton Rover]

It would be a good opportunity to see how Basturk does in a Premier League encounter. How has he been doing in the reserves?

Has missed the past few, been injured. Unsure when he's due to return.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Ah right. I thought I haven't heard his name mentioned much. When he first played in the reserves, I kept reading some positive reviews. Maybe it's a case of him impressing in training when he's back to full fitness and hoping for a few appearances in the final few games and then impressing enough for a contract for next season.

come on POMPEY,half of rishton is threatening to turn out

And your point is?

[Tom]

I think he said he'd streak down Rishton high street if we finish top 10

Anybody going to take a punt and guess the Pompey starting 11? Could be a really interesting team sheet for both parties.

My Guess

Ashdown

Finnan Ward Mokoena Vanden-Borre

Mullins Basinas Brown Ohara Hughes

Piquionne

Rovers

Robbo

Salgado Samba Nelson Givet

Diouf Pederson Nzonzi Olsson

Dunn

Di Santo

[Hughesy]

No Belhadji tomorrow either....shame O'Hara is fit!

If we win & Hull win - pompey go down tomorrow

[bobbarton]

[Nelsta]

I'm going for the usuall Rovers charity roadshow. 2-1 Pompy.

[Presty On Tour]

I think we will win but it will close.

I can't remember the last time we won 3 on the spin.

I didn't realise Robbo was fit again, I must have missed that. 2 points--why would Kalinic not play? And doesn't Jones deserve to keep his place? Otherwise I agree. We are safe so Sam could experiment but Its more in his nature to try to ensure the winning run continues.

[Tom]

I don't expect us to win purely because all signs point to a win and I know Rovers.

I'm going to go for a boring 0-0

Dont think that Big Sam will play a loan striker, when he can use one of his own players in Kalinic.

[Tom]

Just read that Basturk is in the squad, I hope he figures as he is running out of time to impress and I still think he could be good for us

[2k.]

me mate is a pompey fan and the only way i could get him to have a pint on the result is to let him to have the draw and a 1-0 start bad times, hope now we do 'em 2-0 at least!

[philipl]

Grant is a good enough manager to have whatever players he can put out really fired up for this one. Sam is good enough to make sure we don't fall over this potential banana skin. Just got a feeling there could be at least one farcical goal in this game.

[Amo]

I'd line up something like this:

Bunn

Salgado - Samba - Jones - Givet

Hoilett - Emerton - Nzonzi - Olsson

Dunn

Kalinic

[chaddyrovers]

My team for today is:-

Robinson

Saldago Samba Jones Givet

Nzonzi Dunn

Diouf Bastruk Olsson

Kalinic

Subs:- Brown, Nelsen, Grella, Pedersen, Hoilett, Roberts, Di Santo

[Balwer]

Getting ready to head off now. Fingers crossed we keep up the recent strong performance and make it three on the trot today. COYB!
