Portsmouth - predictions anyone?

We have to do something about the Lowery situation. We sounded like we missed his input today. The midfield was adequate but by no means is that line up creative. I still can't see how we're going to score without that. I admire Artell's stance with Lowery but we need someone to replace him.
I'm not panicking but since the day before the season opener as people left, I have felt much more pessimistic and with such a tough opening schedule, I worry that we may be struggling early on and then a certain psychology may set in.
MacDonald sounds solid but off the pace. Then again, the team is usually a little slow off the mark, so I wonder if DA is doing anything to counter that.
