'Buzzing for Thompson', 'Very strong team' - How Portsmouth fans reacted to tonight's starting XI as former Norwich midfielder comes in for Cheltenham clash

There have been a number of talking points amongst fans already, as the former Lincoln City boss makes two changes from the team that started against Bolton three days ago.

Louis Thompson makes his first league start for the Blues after impressing on Saturday to partner Joe Morrell, who also returns to Cowley’s XI after shaking off an injury that kept him out from the beginning against the Trotters.

John Marquis is once again leading the line as he looks to add to his winning strike from Saturday, while Ronan Curtis, Reeco Hackett, and Marcus Harness operate behind him..

And Blues fans have taken to Twitter to express their opinions on the line-up that is looking to make it back-to-back league wins for the first time since August.
