Academy youngster Bradley Lethbridge leads the line, with Andre Green, David Wheeler and Louis Dennis making up an exciting forward line.

0-2 right on half time with a shot from Gareth Evans. A superb finish from Gareth Evans. Louis Dennis dances his way into the box before nudging the ball back for Evans and he emphatically finishes from 20 yards. 46th minute.
Second half kicks off. Sarfend replace Simon Cox and Michael Kightly with Timothy Dieng and Steve McLaughlin, and Pompey take off FA Cup hero Andre Green and bring on youngster Freddie Read.
Pompey replace Bradley Lethbridge with Isle of Wight born youngster Leon Maloney. 57 minutes. Leon is the younger brother of former Pompey winger Jack Maloney.
The ball falls for Freddie Read on the edge of the box and his hall-volley just goes over the bar. 87th minute.
