Well, we covered their predictions for the last game against Charlton and they got it completely wrong.

Pompey have confirmed that ever-present midfielder Andre Dizel will not be fit again in the short term.
Dizel, who was injured in an apparently innocuous clash with Patrick Bamford in the Sheffield United game, initially wanted to carry on after treatment, but after limping for five minutes found himself unable to walk the injury off and so left the field.
There are reports that he went home wearing a surgical boot.
John Messinio says the club are unable to provide further details about the nature of Dozell's injury but that investigations are ongoing.
There's better news about the injury to Adrian Segacic who also came off during the same game having taken a knock.
Fears that he may have to miss upcoming games were scotched when it was announced that he was on the subs bench for the Charlton game, although in the event he wasn't called upon.

Portsmouth FC and Southampton FC subsequently admitted the charges against them.
The Regulatory Commission imposed a fine of ยฃ50,000 on Southampton FC and a fine of ยฃ25,000 on Portsmouth FC, and the written reasons for these decisions can be seen below.

With their rivals in the Championship survival battle not playing, it's a golden opportunity for John Massinio's men to stretch their one-point cushion over the bottom three.
They're up against a team that was in a bit of trouble themselves until a recent upturn in form eased the pressure.
