Gonna be an interesting one.. Possibly the worst game to broadcast on tv to be fair.
Two sides decimated by absentees for both sides. Portsmouth have 2 potentially, both first choice and 2nd choice LBs, 2 first choice centre backs, 1st choice RB/backup CB top scorer (pitman)and backup forward (chaplin) out injured. Will probably be playing two midfielders as full backs , 1 CB and a non league striker at CB.. Gills top scorer suspended, first choice cb on international duty plus a few other first teamers injured. Gills have a poor record this season having only won one league game, Pompey only have 4 points away from home and look a very average low mid table side who can't play well for 90 mins and can't string performances together and concede just after half time. Jackett has some thinking to do as our midfield is being continually overrun this season. He changed it slightly in midweek to only playing one winger and o'keefe as a right sided midfielder who tucks in. Has 0-0 all over it and I'd be surprised if any side has alot of possesion. Gonna come down to a set piece for any goals if there are any goals.
Likely Pompey lineups depending on injuries to Thompson,RB and Burgess CB

Probably the hardest team selection to call out of the whole season because of injuries and some very inconsistant performances so far.
