RECAP as Pompey come out on top in five-goal see-saw second half

Great to just catch up with two old favourites in Svetoslav Todorov and Johnny Ertl. Both men at the game and being swamped by supporters .

‘We’re doing all we can to try to help them recover.

‘We’ve still got 24 hours to kick-off and, ultimately, time will tell.

‘For us, we have out fingers crossed.

‘Like I said, we’re doing all we can because, obviously, they are three important players for us.

‘We’ll hold selection back.

It’s a huge challenge for us to play Tuesday and then Friday, particularly after playing Tuesday-Saturday the week before.

‘But this is what the league have decided.

You know, you look at other teams in the division who have played on Tuesday and don’t play until Saturday (Wigan and Rotherham).

‘So I don’t understand it, because, for me, I thought it was the EFL’s responsibility to ensure that we have a fair, balanced competition.’

We’re back in action at Fratton as the Easter programme begins against Lincoln City.

Danny Cowley goes up against his old club while Michael Appleton returns to Fratton Park after his stint in charge of the Blues a decade ago.

There’s subplots aplenty with former players also involved on both sides – including John Marquis attemping to shoot down his former club.

We’ll be building up kick off with all the pre-match talking points before the team news drops at 2pm.

There’ll be more chat and video before we bring live kick-by-kick commentary as Pompey aim to end the season on a high.
