A minute’s applause for Joe Laidlaw

Pompey are unbeaten in six and have picked up four clean sheets in five. They are facing a team on a run of one win in eight in the league. Away win then!!

There will be a minute’s applause in memory of Joe Laidlaw today.

With Michael Jacobs in, it looks like Danny Cowley could be going with a 4-4-2 today. We’ll obviously confirm when the action gets underway.

Danny Cowley makes two changes from the side who beat Wycombe last weekend, with Gavin Bazunu favoured over Alex Bass and Michael Jacobs a surprise starter in place of Miguel Azeez.
