i read he is amongst the dead men for being injured all the time, it looks like its Mathews, Oviedo, Love and James that's not being kept
0-0 is not a bad result, and as we have seen down the years it is sometimes beneficial to the away team as the onus is all on the home team to attack thus leaving themselves exposed to the counter.
It's going to be tight. Played them 3 times so far this season and there's been two score draws and a loss. Any win tonight no matter how ugly is a good result, away goals don't matter so 4-3 win is as good as 1-0. There's positives. I don't fancy going to Portsmouth and having to win though so yeah a draw wouldn't be great.
Without away goals it does feel like a big advantage playing home in the second leg. They said on the radio that 13 of the last 16 play off finalists had the second leg at home. Eeeek.
