But what if Wilson isn’t fit , would you rather a part fit keeper play??

Bristol city last min goal we need to win tomorrow millwall and Watford not far behind us now

Great_Expectations · Tuesday at 9:53 PM

Stakes are higher after that Bristol winning.

Big match feel to tomorrow even more so now.

Collins needs to do something good early on, could be as simple as a good pass, to give him some confidence as I imagine it’s on the floor.

Macca · Tuesday at 9:55 PM

To be fair we should be winning games like tomorrow if we are serious play off contenders

Best thing Collins can do is not play.

Sky Blue Heaven · Tuesday at 10:12 PM

Pompey are on a run of 15 defeats in 21 away games this season, having picked up only 10 points and have the worst away record in the Championship. What could possibly go wrong…..

Torp has been terrible in his last two appearances, who cares about how Sheaf played earlier this season (he wasn't even that bad just been scapegoated)

Torp hasn't been great all season apart from a few games. Sorry but Sheaf, for whatever reason, has not had a good game all season.

Da silva was excellent one of our better players

Can’t agree. His work with EMC was too complicated and most often came to nothing. When challenged with physical opposition he looks so vulnerable.

Wilson clearly not fit.

Got to back Collins. Even if I said this last week and he let us down.

chiefdave · Tuesday at 10:45 PM

I'm not convinced Wilson isn't fit. What injury has he got where he's been in training for weeks, fine to sit on the bench and potentially come on in the first minute in the case of an injury but can't possibly be picked ahead of Collins.

This is like when Collins kept getting picked over Wilson earlier in the season and people were insisting it was because Wilson was out of contract at the end of the season and we weren't going to play someone that wouldn't be here next year. That didn't have much logic to start off with as surely you pick the team most likely to win you the game but it made even less sense when they then gave Wilson a new contract.

But in the context of right now, it seems bonkers play Collins.

The good thing he needs to do early on is to ensure he takes his seat on the bench before kick-off without wondering aimlessly out of the dug out technical area.

StrettoBoy · Tuesday at 11:02 PM

This is a big game for us, although having said that all of our remaining games really fall into that category now.

It's not a cast iron "must win" game but it will most certainly be a large dent in our play-off hopes if we don't. I can see Portsmouth parking the bus in the hope of keeping a clean sheet. I think we (the fans) will be on edge for much of the match but I think we will do it, possibly with a late winner. I'm going for us to win 2-1.

If Wilson isn't fit why is he on the bench.

Fit enough for the bench is a little different to starting I guess.

As long as he doesn't have to come on then and replace Collins.

SBT · Tuesday at 11:17 PM

Torp was absolutely garbage when he came on last week, I’ve no idea why you’d try and crowbar him into the side.

Rudoni and Torp together in midfield would also leave Grimes with way too much to do defensively.

Because hes a different player when he starts compared to off the bench

Even if that’s true, he’s not going to do Jamie Allen’s defensive work to the same standard

PFC1898 · Tuesday at 11:22 PM

You'll beat us (Pompey) tomorrow.

We are absolutely awful away. Lost 11 out of the last 12 or something silly. Even by some miracle we take the lead, we simply cannot hold onto leads. I think we've only kept 1 clean sheet away all season.

Nailed on home banker.

He was as shite as that at Sheffield United. He's unconvincing whenever he faces a team playing with a decent level of intensity.

Bang on.

He goes missing when the going gets tough. We have a few players who are the same.

Was Jamie Allen saving his defensive work last game for tomorrow?

Same with any of the midfield except Rudoni.

pusbccfc · Tuesday at 11:33 PM

Play Sheaf and Grimes and give DaSilva and MVE license to properly bomb forward.

fernandopartridge · Tuesday at 11:36 PM

Get Sheaf back in the side, to piss the Murphy's cuck off as much as anything

I am baffled and very concerned at this decision.

Part of this has to be down to Aled Williams too.

Lampard has seen Collins be shit this season - which should be enough - but did not witness the debacle of the last ten games of last season where Collins was a disgrace- it is William's duty to inform him of this and negligent from him if he hasn't.

I'm pretty cross about this!!

Think we need to put a filter on the forum for you.

Jamie Allen was playing last Saturday?

I see you’re unfamiliar with the Coventry way, put a tenner on an away win trust me

We are like the Three Kings of the Orient.

We often come bearing gifts
