Tonight's attendance was 3,048. No idea how many away fans were there, although we did sell out our allocation. ** Just read there were 616 Pompey fans at the match **
Tough conditions up there I believe but the difference was in the finishing of the two teams. Perhaps Saturday's postponement is a blessing with two players picking up injuries.
This was another 'nothing to gain - everything to lose' fixture ( as was Southend). Good to have both of them under our belt now - but injuries are a worry.
