Given we’re headlining on the BBC Sport FA Cup page, I think we’re almost certain to be selected (fingers crossed)!

Also managed to misspell Fratton Park in the same paragraph as that...

It also has a tweet that Naylor is a ‘winter player’ and I have seen a few references to that on their message board. Hope that just means he gets better as winter sets in because we should be in for a treat.

I noticed that to and I made the same assumption. I’m not sure what else it could mean.

Great draw for us. Potentially a sell out and with the added interest of the Portsmouth - CFC connections.

It's a bit of a running joke amongst the fanbase. We made the playoffs on points-per-game in the season Covid ended the regular season early. Naylor was captain, an automatic pick, and had been pretty much ever-present prior to the shut down; but he wasn't selected in the first XI for either of the play-off semis, replaced by someone who'd not made a league start in over a year; in fact, he didn't get on the pitch at all if memory serves.
When our then manager was asked about it in an interview after the game he basically garbled a response that this was summer football, not winter football and he'd needed to make the change. Nobody quite knew what it meant (including the manager, I think); but it's one of those moments that signified a sense that said manager had lost the plot. Naylor is largely remembered for being a winter player, on that basis.
Glad to see he's doing well with you under Cook.
