and live on Freeview channel 276
There’s been plenty to digest following the 2pm announcement, with the Blues boss making two changes to the side that drew 1-1 at Oxford.
Out go Sean Raggett and and fellow regular Ryan Tunnicliffe, who doesn’t even make the bench. And in their place come Ryley Towler and Blues youngster Harry Jewitt-White, who makes his full league debut against Accy.

Despite his loan being up at the end of the season, Di’Shon Bernard retains his place in the starting line-up. Yet there’s no place for Academy youngster Koby Mottoh.
Fans were calling for changes after Pompey’s play-off hopes went up in smoke against the U’s in midweek.
Here’s what they’ve been saying on Twitter after the latest team line-up news broke.

Hide Ad@MousinhosMoose: Given the numbers out of contract this summer that are in most match day squads you do wonder for the future of Hume & Hackett given pair seem to first to be dropped from squads despite the inconsistency of selections this seasons. Does feel it could be a clear the decks summer.
@PompeyPapa08: Yes fair enough. The clearest indication yet of the football Mousinho wants to play next season. Hope it pays off
@MrMattPenny: The correct CB pairing about 5 weeks too late but nice!
@PeterThurgood1: That screams "yeah we're not getting play-offs lads" and I'm all for it.
@PUPethan: TOWLER BACK FROM EXILE.
@bazjenkins12: It’s about time Tunnicliffe got the heave hoh.
@BlueArmyAlex: Aside from Mottoh not being on the bench that is great.
