Evening lads, pompey fan here. 
Think you'll win this, we're in terrible form.
Injuries have blighted our good start, and at one stage we were playing out 4th, 5th and 6th choice players in midfield. Morecambe should have wolloped us Saturday, and we're winless for about seven matches now. 
Although we are unbeaten at home for about 15 matches, many of those have been draws though. 
If you're driving down I'd advise get to the area early as parking is terrible around the ground. It's off street parking, and spaces are rare on a match day. You might find it easier to park around the Southsea area and walk to the ground. 
The designated away fan pub is The Good Companion, about 500yrds from the away end. Although you'd be welcome in any pub around the ground. The days are long gone regards local pubs not allowing away fans in. 
We've started work on expanding the away end, so you'll probably find the away end a bit sparce at one side, due to seats and old terracing having been ripped up ready for renewal. 
There's no alcohol on sale inside the away end (some rule about fans aren't allowed to drink in sight of the pitch), hence why the away end is being redeveloped with new hidden concourses. 
It's a sell out for home fans, think our home capacity is around 16,000, so add on what you lot bring down and probably looking at a 17,000+ crowd. 
Good luck lads. 
Prediction pompey 1 Derby 2 

Big, strong, quick, thumping shot. Proper asset, if raw and limited in some regards. Love him, tbf.

A tremendous gesture by the club. Another step towards DCFC restoring its integrity. 

May depend on which division we are in next season. Amazing to think Fozzie has been around since the Nigel Clough era. Great club servant, despite injury problems. 

Wildsmith 7.5
Forsyth 8
Hourihane 7
Stearman 6
Bird  7
Collins 7
McGoldrick 6
Mendez-Laing 7.5
Thompson 6
Smith 7
Roberts 7.5
Sibley 6
Dobbin 6
Osula 6
Rooney 7.5

OMG it's a terrible app. Somehow I have subscribed to the commentary via RamsTV, so must have done it on the website. On match day, I open the app to get the commentary and after random selections eventually it takes me off the app and onto the website to play it, while the website says, "the experience is much better in the app". Yet the app doesn't even have the experience! So I feel your pain.
Meanwhile, does @Diegoknow we have a game on Tuesday? 

I’m torn between thinking we should rest a couple of players if we can, though I’m really not sure who or how!? Or play the best side we have to give us the best chance to progress.
Could maybe pair Cashin and Rooney at the back, or Cashin and Stearman then put Rooney in midfield to rest Fozzy and/or Hourihane. Oduroh at right back? Start Dobbin and Osula with McGoldrick. 

I hope Fozzy, just like Curtis stay around this club for years more. 
 
Not many people like Fozzy and we’ve been lucky to have him around the club for so long. 

That was a cracking goal ?

Once a ram and all that.

He's a delight for the media. They can ask the guy silly questions and he seems more than willing to engage full on. I'm not too fussed as I have the option to switch off. If Warne does the job well and gets us promoted, I guess we can tolerate the cheesy banter. 

Probably merits its own thread. Another attempt:
He went to Cardiff,
He took them to the Prem.
He came to Derby,
He'll do the same again.
Tearing up the league
And this is why we sang
His name's Nathaniel
Nathaniel Mendez Laing'

Really hope we don't play a back three and put Sibley at LWB again, despite doing well there at Anfield. We need his attacking mindset and threat in midfield for this. Osula disappointed at Anfield but was also out of position as left midfield, and I think it makes much more sense to play Dobbin there. Cashin suspended. Guessing Barks, Chester, Davies are out. And from the post-Liverpool comments it sounds as if Knight won't be ready either.
Wildsmith
Smith   Stearman   Forsyth   Roberts
Mendez-Laing     Bird     Sibley     Dobbin
Collins   McGoldrick
 
Subs: Loach, Oduroh, Rooney, Thompson, Hourihane,  Osula, Nunn

Average MK Dons home attendance is 9k. Their highest in recent times is 15.7 Vs Ipswich. With 6.5k Rams it should be close to that.
Fans will need to be as good as at Anfield to raise the Players’ energy levels. There’ll be tired legs and tired mentally so let’s go again. Have a great day and roar the Rams to victory. We’ve got the League 1 Guardiola …?

Thommo apparently..

Did he ever get a decent coffee maker BTW?

Wildsmith and Mendez Laing, without question. 

Wildsmith - 8.5 
Smith - 6.5
Rooney - 6
Cashin - 7
Forsyth - 7
Roberts - 7
Sibley - 7.5
Bird - 6
Mendez-Laing - 7
Knight - 5.5
Hourihane - 5.5
Osula - 5
Dobbin - 5.5
Collins - 6
McGoldrick - 6.5
Tommo - 5

A positive outcome overall. We held out against the team that L'pool put out; no serious injuries - no red cards - one less distraction from the main focus of attempting to make L1 play offs.

Radio Sussex has gone all diverse. They put Dotun Adebayo on at 1am presumably when all the kippers are safely tucked up..... ?

Chicory Tip and Baccara?
Bet your foot starts tapping though - come on, admit it!
