Vital Quotes: Sammy Lee
‘Losing erodes away at your confidence. I am concerned but I know full well I have to pick the lads up again. Hopefully we will turn a corner.’
It will help if you can defend a corner.
Portsmouth Team News:
‘Arry’s already complaining about a small squad. Lauren is a doubt at right back and Ghanian thug Sulley Muntari is suspended after his first Portsmouth sending off. It won’t be the last.
Player to watch: Benjani

Player to watch: Nicolas Anelka
Rumoured to be the target of a £10 million bid from Pompey. This conveniently ignores the fact that Bolton have valued him at £13 million, but why the let the facts get in the way of yet another attempt by the media to de-stabilise the club.
