'Full-backs a worry. Morrell and Pack - nice' - Portsmouth fans react to team selected by Danny Cowley for Ipswich game
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Blues boss has made one change to the side that drew 2-2 against Plymouth last time out, with Joe Morrell coming in for the injured Tom Lowery.
The former Crewe man still hasn’t recovered fully from the hamstring problem he suffered against the Pilgrims in what is one injury blow for Cowley.

Hide AdAnd that’s been compounded by news that Joe Rafferty has this week undergone surgery on his ongoing stomach muscle issue, which also rules him out of today’s Portman Road game.
That means Connor Ogilvie will continue to play as a makeshift right-back, with Clark Robertson deputising again on the left of the back four.
It also means some fans are now slightly concerned going into the game against the Tractor Boys.
Others, though, are seeing the positives.
Here’s a selection of the views shared on Twitter...
@TomHaustead: Decent enough 11 but the fullbacks both being out of position is a worry, as well as no striker to come off the bench if we need to change it up or get an injury.
@jamie_pfc: Morrell and Pack is a little bit naughty.
@peadubya66: Morrell & Pack in midfield, nice.
@CallumDowst: Even more nervous now.

@teddynettle1: Very good line up, i don’t know why everyone wants to play defensive we have played Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday and Peterborough all in 442 why should we change go and play our game.
@PompeyLincs: Shame about the line-up. Not been convinced with the recent players out of positions.
@Jared_Linter: tunni sub masterclass incoming.
@HarveyyyMP: Dane, rescue some happiness for me.
