And it’s smiles all round, as the Blues head coach makes five changes from the side that drew 3-3 with Fleetwood three days ago.
In come Mahlon Romeo, Connor Ogilvie, Louis Thompson, Aiden O’Brien, and George Hirst – replacing Reeco Hackett, Ronan Curtis, Clark Robertson, Ryan Tunnicliffe, and Tyler Walker.

Here’s how the Fratton faithful reacted on Twitter.
@James02_: That’s a good one
@Jake_PFC: Best XI possible up the blues
@Matt23Smithers: Try and keep it at 11 players this time and don’t let them shoot outside the box
@JakeMeyers2015: Bar missing Ronan Curtis, and possibly Jacobs, that has to be #Pompey's strongest XI.
@alfiee_26: Yes yes yes and yes
@Perr_PFC: Ogilvie and O’Brien starting!
@Bilbo2006: I dream of this team
@PORTSMOUTHFCLEE: Down to the players now!
@Alfisadon: What we wanted to see
@Pompey_1976: We’ve won already
@PompeyGaj: Actually a team I can get behind. Ogilvie, O’Brien and Hirst all starting is very nice
@Tills1973: Would’ve won on Saturday with this XI.
