Colby Bishop pays the price as Portsmouth make two changes against Derby County
John Mousinho makes two changes for the Fratton Park clash with the Rams
Colby Bishop has dropped out of Pompey’s side as John Mousinho seeks to boost his team’s goal return.
The Blues stalwart finds himself among the substitutes, with Jacob Brown entrusted with the lone centre-forward role against Derby tonight.
Bishop’s exclusion represents one of two changes, with Madiodio Dia also making way from the side which lost 2-1 against Swansea in Pompey’s most recent fixture.
Fit-again Regan Poole comes into the centre of defence, while Conor Chaplin is recalled and starts as the number 10, with Brown having vacated the position to move up front.
Makenzie Kirk returns to Mousinho’s bench after recovering from an Achilles problem, while Conor Shaughnessy is also named after sitting out the Swans defeat.
However, there is no place for Hayden Matthews and Harvey Blair, who both drop out of the 20-man squad altogether.
Pompey: Schmid, Devlin, Poole, Ogilvie, Swanson, Pack, Adams, Caballero, Chaplin, Alli, Brown.
Subs: Bursik, Williams, Shaughnessy, Dia, Le Roux, Swift, Segecic, Bishop, Kirk.
