Back 5 plus Nunez and McLean pick themselves pretty much

The only question for me being whether it's doyle or chrisene at LB, but I'd probably go for Doyle. Not his best position, but I just think he's a bit better on the ball than Chrisene, but no strong preference on that one. Fisher has to start at right back.

Not so sure on the third midfield slot; Sorensen and Forson both a bit dodgy on the ball under pressure. Slimane was poor / anonymous at the weekend.

Front three; I think we should stick with Marcondes, Crnac and Sainz.

We need to use the ball much better, but I don't think we should s**t our pants and change too much. I hope the changes at the back, bringing cordoba in, fisher at right back, will make us better and allow us to break out, which in turn makes it harder for Portsmouth to press so high up without serious risk for them.
