Can we collect that illusive Fratton Park win? If, which is amazing to think is still the case, <a style='color:#0E4FB0' href='http://www.portsmouth.vitalfootball.co.uk/' target='blank'><b>Pompey</b></a> are to remain in with a shot of a top-six finish a victory over Oxford is a near must. However, personally, I still do not believe we'll be ready for promotion via the play-offs, but who would say no to keeping the season going and making it to Wembley in May.

Oxford are there or thereabouts, and will hope to push on under new manager Karl Robinson, but given their form in recent weeks this MUST be seen as an opportunity to get the Fratton form going again? Then again our own form on the South Coast has been woeful since the turn of the year!

I cannot make the game, due to the fact I'm working I'll not see it on Sky Sports either, but hope we can see the best Fratton showing in ages, giving the fans the showing Kenny Jackett feels we deserve, which he is right. All being well this will be a performance and a three point return.

Well, as always, heart says a win but the head isn't quite sure...however, I'll go with the glass half full approach, why have it as half empty, and say it'll be a Blue day today with a home win.

Pompey have collected just one point from the last four at Fratton ahead of Oxford, which compares to nine from a possible 12 away - recording wins at MK Dons, Fleetwood and Oldham.

We've had to wait but Sunday finally brought that first Fratton Park win of 2018 - victory over Oxford followed the win at Oldham to move Pompey to within two points of the top-six.

I fancied a win, but - and I couldn't go or follow this game due to work commitment - to record a 3-0 win was a VERY welcome result.

Was it as good as it sounds? Hopefully someone can enlighten me? Whatever though I'll take this any day of the week - it also keeps the season alive, making a top-10 finish more likely and a potential top-six one possible again...
 
Jack Whatmough was seen as the best Pompey player against Oxford. Next we want thoughts on potential make or break Easter games with the two W's, Walsall and Wigan.
