Rangers loanee Ross McCrorie changed game at Sunderland...Cannon should be starting - how fans have reacted to Portsmouth's team to face Coventry
On-loan Rangers man Ross McCrorie replaces Anton Walkes at right-back after an impressive substitute cameo in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Sunderland.
Walkes has been omitted from Kenny Jackett’s squad completely.

The other switch is Gareth Evans replacing Andy Cannon in midfield.
Pompey’s starting XI has caused plenty of debate among the Fratton faithful. Here’s how they reacted on Twitter...

McCrorie changed the game. Raggett I've been wanting to see, Evans better at set pieces and crossing, Marquis to finally get the delivery, he says. #PUP #Pompey
@PompeyMike17
Very happy with this
@mikeythomas2017
Cannon dropped when he’s been playing well?
@jacktate290
Is Kenny aware Pitman scores goals.....no just me okay

Hide AdCannon & Harrison should be starting....!! Glad to see McCrorie in the line up!
@McgrealDeclan
Don’t think Curtis and brown deserve to start #pompey
@tj_malley
Bold to play McCrorie at RB over Walkes and Bolton but he understandable as to why. Looking forward to seeing Raggett make his debut and Evans back in the squad. Need good deliveries if we actually want to score. Another strong looking bench. #Pompey
@Pompey_Jake
Harsh to drop Cannon for Evans who done nothing really to influence the game Sat expect for that shot?
Cannon should 100% be in the team.
