Fans react to Pompey team news for Oxford game
@mark11s: Would’ve had Swift in for Chaplin and Le Roux in for Pack if it were me. Be nice if Chaplin and Bishop could remember how to perform like Championship players today.
@PompeyGJ: Best starting eleven available. Come on!!
@michaelcf04: Thank god Alli has been dropped.
@andymp345: Pack and Doz too similar in player style. Would had Le Roux in over Pack after Friday game thought he was solid.
@Brooke_Smedley: Harsh on LLR but solid team, let’s have it.
@DaveAyling3: I would have played segs rather than Chaplin.
@the_real_gart: How does Chaplin get picked?! Perhaps today is the day we’ve been waiting for.
@pfcmccloud: Andre Dozzell in means we win.
@1999BDC: Would’ve gone with Swift over Chappers. Dropping Le Roux is harsh.
