The manager certainly does.

The atmosphere will be cranked up a few notches.

I thought the atmosphere at the Arsenal game was good, but this will be on a different level again, I would think.

The fact that it's at 12 o'clock is a little bit earlier than you would like.

Rather it was 3 o'clock on a Saturday probably, wouldn't you?

But I understand why it's not.

I think it would be a terrific atmosphere.

Pompey will need to make a fast start.

I've seen a few people taking bets on whether Terry Devlin or Ibu Adams will be first to be booked.

Without condoning anything, you wouldn't mind an early start.

yellow card to us as long as it's not somebody who has to watch themselves for the rest of the game there'll be a bit of that going on I think there'll be tackles flying in from both sides and apart from anything else it's a game we need to win we're still in that position now looking at the table we're one point above the relegation zone

We've got three home games coming up in a row.

We've got Southampton, West Brom, Ipswich, all before we play our next away game.

If we can start that little run by beating Southampton, everybody's on an absolute high, which could then help you going into those next two home games as well.

Yes, good.

And you kind of think, well, how would he come back into the team that has done well at Watford and has done well at Sheffield Wednesday?

Dezal and Adams were the midfield two last night, weren't they, at Watford?

realistically going to replace one of those two?

Probably not.

But is Pack the type of player you would want playing in this fixture?
