Cowleys tricky mind games again as Portsmouth fans celebrate John Marquis' return

John Marquis starts for Pompey in their League One trip to Gresty Road.

Despite being available once against after serving a three-match suspension for a red card at Shrewsbury, there were doubts whether Marquis would be available due to an ankle problem.

However, he’s been included in the starting XI – which hands Danny Cowley a big boost having had no natural striker for the past three games.

Marquis comes in for Andy Cannon, while Charlie Daniels replaces the injured Lee Brown at left-back.

Here’s what the Fratton faithful have been saying…
