Is he eligible to play?

 

---

[block16]

Yes. Not available in the Cup though

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Agree that he's available according to MR, but Pompey rag ran an article suggesting it's up to Kenny Jackett and that it will be a 'no' ?!

 

[Otis]

Aggree that he's available according to MR, but Pompey rag ran an article suggesting it's up to Kenny Jackett and that it will be a 'no' ?!

Or a yes if he's seen today's match highlights.

Why would be say no didn't rate him that highly.

 

[Magwitch]

If I was Jackett I’d let him play, better the devil you know, I’m not bothered, just put Hiwula in his place and start Jodie Jones too

 

[Liquid Gold]

Depends if he’s got school the next day

He's 56. Far too old for school these days, unless it was as a teacher.

 

[Limey]

Given Jacketts cautious approach to the actual transfer, I'd be amazed if he lets him play. I think Chaplin will be itching to be on the field - the lad can finish and no doubt yesterday's misses will be gnawing at him.

 

[covcity4life]

If not bloody player hiwula upfront for once

 

[sw88]

Just seen on FB, but not the official club page, that he won’t be allowed to play!

 

[covcity4life]

Hiwula and Jch hopefully then. Not sure bakayoko and Jch will work. Robin's will have to tell just 1 of them to be target man

I'd go with JCH and Jones up front

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

JCH and Thomas up front and jones wide

 

[cc84cov]

JCH and Thomas up front and jones wide

Good shout that Thomas just behind JCH could work

 

[cc84cov]

Chaplin plays

He’s allowed to play mate just uploaded a file showing this mate

Can new Sky Blues striker play against Pompey this season?

Whereas Andy Turnip says not?

Report: Decision made on Chaplin’s Coventry availability against Portsmouth

Aye, about as truthful as his old “exclusive players retained list” :emoji_laughing:

 

[Mcbean]

He’s our fuckin player -fuckem

 

[ccfcway]

He’s our fuckin player -fuckem

he's not, hes on loan

 

[better days]

He's definitely playing Tuesday night

 

[chiefdave]

Why can't someone in the local media just ask Robins or someone at the club. Its not a decision Portsmouth get to make now, it will be a known thing dependent on the contract agreed.

You mean like andy turner did and said the answer was no

 

[chiefdave]

So that's the Telegraph saying yes in one article and no in another. Doesn't really clear things up.

One article is from when we signed him and one is from today. Think i believe the most recent one.

 

[Houchens Head]

From what I've read about, re. the reports on here, would he be missed if he didn't play? Not scoring (what we signed him up for!) and doesn't look likely to for a few games yet. Portsmouth needn't worry too much.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Definitely not playing

 

[runner]

Whilst I fully endorse any loan player, whether one of ours going out or one coming in ... not to be able to play against us/them ... I think when a player is on loan with an already signed contract to purchase come January (only held up due to the rulings say we couldn't sign after August) ... then I think he should be allowed to play.

Having said all that ... I agree with a poster above, he's not exactly prolific (yet) ... so a chance for Jiwula / Jones may not be a bad thing and these are players that Portsmouth don't know anything about ...

Pretty much agree with all of this!

 

[rob9872]

I like what I've seen from Chaplin, but if Hiwula comes in and scores, then I think he should keep his place Saturday.

I appreciate the manager is paid to make tough decisions, but​

I think it would send the wrong message to the rest of the squad.

Anyhow, I read it as being down to MR to decide if he can play, so in the words of Phil Collins - No Jacket Required!

 

[jordan210]

It's all very odd. They say he cant. we say he can.

 

[better days]

I originally thought he could play but it seems I was wrong

 

[Nick]

Really hope he doesn't put Andreu in behind JCH instead. Not if he wants us to score anyway.

 

[Limey]

CJ just posted on twitter, or rather asked the question, that's it's an EFL rule that loan players can't play against parent club. Seems most logical explanation.
If the power lies with Jackett however it's surely a no.
