Pompey welcome a team that will always be synonymous with our last rise from the lowest of the football leagues divisions, a team also tipped to escape it this season.
Vital Quotes:
Pompey have made an encouraging start to the fledgling season, the win on Saturday showed a grittier side than we have seen for a few seasons, Websters red card galvanized the team with plenty of time left on the clock, the early signs are promising.
Pompey Team News:
Pompey will hope to have Alex Wynter available again after he missed the Cambridge match, presumably with his head injury. His return would be a boost with Webster serving his ban, if not Joe Devera would be the only option. Ben Chorley was a surprising absentee saturday’ again presumably from injury.
Player to watch: Dunne
Dunne looks ready to write himself into the fans favourite department, his tough tackling and commitment will always go down well.
Northampton Team News:
Darren Carter looks like dipping out with hamstring trouble, Richards will be hoping to hit the goal trail after hitting the last minute equaliser at York. One thing to to expect is an in your face attitude from a Chris Wilder side, with plenty if pressure on the ref.
Player to watch: Alfei
The right back looks familiar…
