Pompey are hoping for a winning return to Fratton Park tomorrow - as Blackburn Rovers provide the opposition.
The outcome of the clash at PO4 will go a long way to deciding how the start to the Championship season is seen after seven games.
There’s big calls for John Mousinho to make in every department, with form the greatest consideration for the Blues head coach.
Here’s how Pompey writer Jordan Cross thinks Mousinho will go.
9. RW Abu Kamara
Lit up the clash with Cardiff on last Fratton outing. Loves playing at PO4. | Jason Brown
10. CAM Adrian Segecic
Ever-present will continue as he looks to get back on the goal trail. | Jason Brown
11. LW Ryan Kavuma-McQueen
Been a breath of fresh air since arriving from Chelsea. Been on the bench for the past couple of games, but could now come back in for a start. | Jason Brown
12. CF Tyrese Shade
It's the big call that John Mousinho faces. Continue with Bishop or shift Shade to the No9 role? Bishop looks devoid of confidence at present, so perhaps the time to take him out of the firing line. There is a chance Marezi could make it back, but that's a risk. | Jason Brown
