Portsmouth’s strongest XI over the crucial Christmas period

CM – Danny Rose

Rose is another of this season’s new signings and experienced promotion last season with Northampton Town, so he certainly brings a different dynamic to the team.

To date, fans remember his performance against high-flying Plymouth, producing a fantastic strike that almost secured the three points.

A true fighter, the 28-year-old can ping a ball across the midfield as slots in nicely to Cook’s playing style.

All-in-all, a perfect summer signing!
