Portsmouth drop Lowe for crucial clash with Barnsley
Jamal Lowe has been dropped from Pompey’s side facing Barnsley this afternoon.
The Blues’ 11-goal top scorer had previously started all 33 League One games this season.
However, he is among three changes to the side which drew 1-1 against Bristol Rovers on Tuesday night.
Gareth Evans and Oli Hawkins have also made way and join Lowe on the bench, with Kenny Jackett appearing to name a 4-3-3 system for the battle with their promotion rivals.
That means Viv Solomon-Otabor, Bryn Morris and Omar Bogle recalled to the starting XI as Pompey’s boss rings the changes.
Once again there is no place in the 18-man squad for Brett Pitman, with Tom Naylor captaining the side.
Pompey: MacGillivray, Walkes, Burgess, Clarke, Brown, Naylor, Close, Morris, Solomon-Otabor, Bogle, Curtis.
Subs: Bass, Haunstrup, Hawkins, Donohue, Evans, Lowe, Vaughan.
