Pompey need to rediscover their 'swagger'

Pompey go close during their loss to Stoke

- 

A severe lack of confidence is affecting Pompey’s threat in front of goal this season.

That's the verdict of Ali Maxwell from the respected Not The Top 20 Podcast, who is adamant John Mousinho’s men need to unlock their ‘swagger.

Pompey have only netted 10 goals in their opening 12 games, the joint second lowest figure in the Championship.

Injury issues have rocked the Blues’ frontline this term, with Josh Murphy, below, Callum Blair, Harvey Blair, Franco Umeh and Thomas Waddingham all spending time out injured.
