Pompey fans have been reacting to tonight’s team news to face MK Dons at Fratton Park (7.45pm).

Kenny Jackett makes five changes from Saturday's 1-0 defeat at promotion rivals Fleetwood, with Andy Cannon returning from a glute injury and Steve Seddon dropping to the bench for Lee Brown.

The biggest talking point of them all, however, is Brett Pitman’s inclusion on the substitutes’ bench for the first time in 13 games.

The former Bournemouth man has been training with AFC Bournemouth’s under-21s, after being frozen out by the Blues boss.

But with Ellis Harrison still sidelined with a dead leg, Pitman has been recalled from the cold.
