So what XIs would we all pick tonight?

Has Dempsey worked his way back into the midfield? Or do we stick with the Paris-Tomo-Sheehaniesta trio? I suspect Evatt will keep Demps on the bench, and I think he's right...

Toal at LCB, or has Ireland nudged back in? Toal, I think.

Basically, is there anyone who WOULDN'T pick....
Baxter; Jones, Santos, Toal; JDC, Maghoma, Sheen, Thomason, Williams; Adeboyejo, Charles.

Baxter

Geth-Santos-Toal
JDC-Maghoma-Sheehan-Tomo-Randy
Vic-Dion

Assuming Randy is fit now. Dempsey and Bod v close, but not quite, for me.

I’ve noticed some of our fans trying to down play the significance of this one, which I can understand. However, it’s first vs second live on the telly, so very much an inescapably big game for me.

Wouldn’t say I was confident of winning, but neither am I too nervous about Pompey.

Baxter

Jones Santos Toal

Sheehan

JDC Maghoma Thomason Williams

Charles Vic


Is the lineup I think Evatt goes with, barring any additional injuries we don’t know about. Maybe Airedale for Randy, but I think Williams is part of our ‘best’ XI.

1-2 Bolton

That would be 'it" for me TG. Assuming no injuries we're not aware of.

The only question mark is whether we try to be cute with suspensions and keep the lads on yellow cards on the bench.

For me, it's too big a game. You pick your best team for the opposition and go for it.

I am thinking Airedale could be a bit more of a terrier....

Well if Bod has a sh1t game tonight he won't be getting another start anytime soon, except maybe the cup games.

Just thought the same, Charles is going to have to run at 150% tonight.

I love JDB but think he's not a starter.
