125 celebrations
Brilliant to see so many Pompey heroes and one or two legends back at Fratton for the 125 celebrations. The likes of Noel Blake, Michael Doyle, Hermann Hreidarsson, Paul Walsh, Martin Kuhl, Alan Biley, Johnny Ertl and Yakubu at the game today.
Formation update
Now it settles down it’s clear Pompey are 4-3-3 with Morrell and Lowery playing as eights. Jacobs and Dale really high and wide.
