and live on Freeview channel 276

To answer to that is simple – he’s on the bench!
But there’s clearly a lot of support for him being a starter, with the 22-year-old former Arsenal youngster featuring just once in League One all season.
Here’s what Pompey fans have been saying after his 90-minute showing against Aston Villa under-21s in Tuesday night’s Papa John’s Trophy win.
@JStronner: Why don't start Swanson?
@MattPFC: I beg you just play Swanson for 1 league game.
@Boiing2022: We're losing a great crosser of the ball by playing Ogilvie at RB, he should be LB

Hide Ad@bazjenkins12: As good as Ogilvie is he is not a RB I would prefer a little bit more attacking intent down that side, Swanson is young and very talented.
@DanLewis1999: Start Swanson mannnnn.
@BigGreggerr: If this wasn’t the right time to start Swanson there never will be.
@Perry_PFC: Ogilvie RB again ??? Start Swanson, Danny.
@Dazzontwitt: Justice for Swanson.
@dazza_nics: People crying about Swanson not starting.. he will start when he’s ready! Caaaaaam on the blues.
@WELLS35: Starting to get irritated by this now! Why on earth is he not playing Swanson who is an actual RB as RB and Ogilvie as LB!
