v Portsmouth (a) - 13/12/25

[Elrovers]

Pretty much a big game for both teams. Tough place to go to, Pompey will be up for this one. 3-0 rovers. 

[chaddyrovers]

Hope Tronstad is back for this. 

[philipl]

Fratton Park is usually noisy but they will be desperate after losing that 6 pointer at Swansea last night. Josh Murphy is the main threat so Aleboyusu will need to be on his game. Otherwise they seem typical scrappy Championship with more than average defensive mistakes but a decent keeper.

[MarkBRFC]

Hopefully our away form can carry on for another game as we can't afford to lose this in my opinion.

Portsmouth 1 Rovers 2

He should be with a good week of training. Will be on the bench though.

1-1

I'm joining the exodus, and not turning up again. It's embarrassing watching Blackburn Rovers at home this season. We've drawn or been beaten, by every club below us, and we've the worst home record in the Championship. Until we get a manager in the dug out, that can win the odd home game, I'm staying away.

We’re away mate. Thank god we’re not at home

What drugs are you on, the other way round, 3-0 pompey. We've lost or drawn to every club below us, its a home banker win.

They've not been great at Fratton Park this season. They are the lowest scorers along with us at home apart from Sheff Wednesday. (That doesn't include the 2 goals we had "rained off"). Defensively we have been OK. If Tronstadt plays I think we could nick this.

Well I’ve got every right to be optimistic as we are the second best away team in the division. 

[davulsukur]

I know we are better away but difficult to predict a win here.

It's another must win game though.

[philipl]

At this stage it is a must not lose. Yes a win would be great but a loss dumps us right in the mire.

Even with all the injuries, we ought to have enough with last night's set up to avoid defeat. I wouldn't rate them as better than Oxford.

It's the worst Rovers team I've seen for decades, sorry if I spoilt your optimism. Getting  rid of Ismael would be a step in the right direction. There's nothing more I'd like, than to see Rovers back on the winning trail, but I can't see it at the moment.

How many times have we said that this season, and lost or drawn to teams below us.

I’m with you, I fancy us to get something here.  Our current formation is made for away games.

[JHRover]

Like Oxford and Wednesday this lot are a poor side. So are we.

They'll be desperate for a win and will see us as a great chance to do that.

We've got to maintain our decent away form as if that slips the bottom 3 at Xmas beckons.

Not a ground I can remember us winning at too often. 

[Dreams of 1995]

We are away 

We will win

[Tomphil2]

Zero faith at the min but hoping the away day tactics come up trumps again.

Pompey  1   Rovers  2

According to Ai, Blackburn Rovers have won only 1 home game under Ismael, in 32 games, and hes still in the dugout.

Ai is wrong.

It will be who performs the best of the worst. How times have changed at Ewood.

Pompey 0 Rovers 8, Gueye wakes up, and scores an hat trick, Gudjohnsen chips in with a hat trick, and Ohashi finishes it off with a brace. O dear I've just woke up, great dream while it lasted.

[chaddyrovers]

Rovers 2 nil. Gudjohnsen and Cantwell 

[davulsukur]

Although in Ismael's post match interview after the (shite) Oxford result he suggested Baradji wouldn't be ready to start this game, I'd like to see him start, especially if Tronstad is back and TGH isn't. Tronstad and Taveres doesn't work as a midfield pairing.
