Goal-shy Portsmouth rip up attack at QPR in desperate search to solve scoring troubles
The Blues have made three changes for their Loftus Road fixture
John Mousinho has made changes to his mis-firing attack for this afternoon’s trip to QPR.
Gustavo Caballero and Conor Chaplin pay the price for yet more scoring struggles in the 1-0 defeat against Derby on Monday night.
Instead John Swift and Adrian Segecic are handed recalls as Mousinho tries to eke out goals, with his Pompey team the joint-second lowest scorers in the Championship.
The third change is Conor Shaughnessy returning to the side for his first start since January 17, following two substitute outings after recovering from his latest injury.
He partners Regan Poole in the centre of defence, with Connor Ogilvie restored to his left-back role and Zak Swanson dropping to the bench to make way.
Meanwhile, Brown is again preferred in attack to the out-of-sorts Colby Bishop, who found himself on the bench against Derby as he continues to struggle for goals.
Fit-again Harvey Blair returns to the squad after missing the loss to Derby through injury and comes onto the bench.
He replaces Makenzie Kirk in the 20-man squad, despite the Scot used as a substitute in Monday night’s fixture.
Pompey: Schmid, Devlin, Poole, Shaughnessy, Ogilvie, Pack, Adams, Segecic, Swift, Alli, Brown.
Subs: Bursik, Williams, Swanson, Dia, Le Roux, Caballero, Blair, Chaplin, Bishop.
