***Portsmouth Official Matchday Thread***

Today is the real test for Kewell. Got to show he is starting to have some positive effect on the players who lost their way under Drummy in second half of season. Two first teams out today and Pompey still in our ballpark of class

1-0 up - Verheydt with a header.

Commentary available here: www.expressfm.com/player/

Personally I haven't been impressed at all with Mcnerney in preseason, against Dulwich he looked off the pace and was easily beaten several times, against Brighton he was at fault for the first goal as for some reason he let the ball run without checking if it was safe to do so. I think he may have to work hard to be considered first choice. Yorweth does not always make good choices but is young he is much more comfortable on the ball and with a leader next to him and solid players on the left and right could come good. Lelan, not sure at present. Places of for grabs and this game could be a decider.

1-1 now

Payne on for Randall and Harrold for Verheydt



Lewis now on for Roberts
