Portsmouth’s strongest XI over the crucial Christmas period

LM – Milan Lalkovic

Lalkovic is a controversial decision to include since in recent weeks he has found himself on the bench.

However, when called upon, he has risen to the occasion and showed flashes of brilliance with his fast feet, proving an absolute menace for defenders.

The Slovakian scored his first goal for the club in a 5-1 win over Barnet, but produced his best performance in a blue shirt in a 3-0 home win over Crawley Town, winning the man-of-the-match award.

Although, he has tough competition from Kyle Bennett in order to make Cook’s starting line-up.
