Pompey to continue strong start ........


Harry Redknapp is going to take the opportunity to rest a few players and to introduce some recent signings.

Andy Cole is set for his first-team debut and may be joined by Niko Kranjcar, Rodolph Douala and Manuel Fernandes.They all played for the reserves last week and will be hungry to prove what they are capable of.

They travel to play Mansfield who have lost 4 of their last 5 and were poor in the 1-0 loss to Torquay, at the weekend.

Stags boss Peter Shirtliff, was not impressed by their performance, in his post match interview he said ......
"We never really looked like scoring".
"I was disappointed by our determination and aggression in their box, which was non-existent".
"We have got a few knocks and bruises, as well as players feeling sorry for themselves and I am not interested in the Portsmouth game right now,don't know if the players are".

All things considered Pompey should have far too many options for the home team who are 83 places below them in the league structure.

4 points Portsmouth -1 goal asian line l.89

Back later.

Good Luck.
