Pompey fans have been quick to react to the team that will tonight face Gillingham.

Kenny Jackett’s made three changes from Saturday’s League One defeat to Doncaster at Fratton Park.

As expected, John Marquis comes in for the injured Ellis Harrison.

Meanwhile Ronan Curtis is dropped in place of Ryan Williams and Michael Jacobs replaces Ben Close.

Here’s what Blues fans have had to say on Twitter….

@BraddJw

What does Rasmus have to do?

@__TomWatson

Why drop Close tho cmon

@wfisk90

Team looks very light to me especially from the bench. Probably because we are…

@miamidublin

Cannon playing deeper should have happened sooner

@willstar1996

Poor Ben Close... and what does Haji have to do to start? Jeeeeeez

@danieledmunds4

Finally cannon next to naylor

@AlexMain84

Seriously, what has Rasmus got to do to get a start in the league. Raggett needs taking out the firing line for his own sake!

@WELLS35

Would love to see Alfie Stanley!

Cannon will be the attacking one out of the two, people have been talking about this option for a while now mate, naylor would be the one to sit, mop up and defend and cannon would be the one to push forward instead of us having two defensive minded CDM’s that just sit deep
