The strength of the Blues’ substitute options has also attracted comment, with Michael Jacobs, Joe Morrell, Joe Pigott joins Scarlett & Co on the bench.

Meanwhile, what formation Cowley goes for has also drawn plenty of debate as fans attempt to weigh up how to take the head coach latest team selection.

Here’s a selection of the views shared...

@PompeyBulldogKG: This is very very ballsy.

@Willmott3Sam: I’m going to guess Raggett isn’t 100% as he’s our best CB.

Interesting to see what the formation is. Could be back 3 or 4.

@markjroser73: No Rags? Would of liked to have seen Pigott alongside Bishop but he seems out of favour.

Koroma is iffy but he did score against them last time and scored Tuesday! Jacobs needs to start, he makes things happen but anything less than 3pts is a disaster!!

@JackBriant6: Koroma please be good for once.

@ColinAd29181307: Rags on the bench? Behave.

@bazjenkins12: That’s an interesting one.

@BenThom40: Better Bench.

@Niall_Judge26: Morrison & Koroma starting, no Michael Jacobs (thumbs down).

Hume at wing back, no Curtis, no 4-4-2 (thumbs up).

Big call dropping Raggett - can’t really say it hasn’t been coming.

@WISEASS999: Musical chairs again. It's exciting being a Pompey fan. Isn't it?

Poor Raggs, not carrying an injury, is he?
