Team: Rice, Tonge, Cargill, Lathrope, Pearce, O'Connor, Mansell, Craig, Benyon, Coulthirst, Cameron.

Substitutes: Poke, Downes, Harding, Chapell, Yeoman, Thompson, Stevens.

This is going to be difficult, unless CH makes early substitutions..

So long as none of the substitutions involve Danny Stevens.

Im glad craig gets a chance. Have a good look at him and if all looks good and plays the way we hope he could be a good player in the conference

Tonge playing? Oh dear.

Big mistake, other than that can't argue with the GK and defense although I'd have gone 3 at the back and then left out Tonge. Mistake IMO and not aggressive enough.

Mansell and Lathrope to get stuck in in midfield leaving the creativity to Craig who doesn't 'do' playing on the wings. Oh dear.

Coulthirst a good choice and perhaps Cameron. Benyon should be dropped for a youth team striker to come in like Sullivan or someone else to have a chance because he won't score today and he won't look like scoring either. Oh dear, oh dear.

Not good that Chris I'm afraid. They are going to have to go some to match your heartfelt wishes and desires that you publicly stated yesterday.

That side hardly screams - LET'S **** HAVE SOME OF THIS TODAY AND LET'S GET MEN FORWARD!!!!

That side screams - HOPEFULLY SHAQ OR BENNERS CAN GET ON THE END OF THE ODD CROSS ON THE RARE OCCASIONS WE FORAY FORWARD WHILST MANSELL AND LATHROPE DIG IN AND CRAIG ONCE AGAIN CAN LOOK FOR THE HOLLYWOOD PASS AND MAYBE TRYING TO CRACK A FREE KICK AGAINST THE WOODWORK AGAIN. IF IT GOES TITS UP THEN WE CAN PUNT PEARCY UP TOP NEAR THE END. MARVELLOUS.

Incidentally, as Craig is renowned for pumping set pieces against the woodwork, is that bad luck or inaccurate free kick taking?

It's bloody hilarious how a year or so back people were saying that the likes of Bodin and Craig and others were destined for higher leagues and now it turns out they could possibly 'do a job in the conference'!

You couldn't make it up!

I have never once said he could play higher up. I was only saying he could is because alot of people would release him looking at comments. As we are destined for the conference I hope he can stay and do a job for us.

Brett, i wasn't referring to you personally mate. Just that there have been lot of fans saying it about Bodin, Craig, Cruise and others for quite a while when they first joined and now they aren't even wanted in the conference. That's what i meant.

I know its been set in stone for a while - but feeling emotional today for the first time.

Lets hope at the very least we can beat the greeks today and go with some pride!

COYY!!!

1-0 pompey

So as it stands IF we win we stay up for another week ...

Pompey one up at cobblers

We need the results of at least 9 matches to go right for us over the next two weeks.
Rovers lost - that's one.
Northampton losing - that could be two.
Torquay winning three on the trot - now that might be the difficulty.

Any word on how many Gulls are there today?
