Two good footballing sides. Both with new managers, both won fairly comfortably the first game of the season and both went to extra time and got knocked out mid week.
I would argue both sides are not at full strength as yet and would be surprised if the starting 11s for both will be the same when we meet at FP later in the season.
We tend to draw at Oxford so I think a 1-1 might be on the cards. Pitman and would have to be ex Pompey loanie Wes Thomas for Oxford.
Pompey have ex Oxford midfielder Danny Rose, whilst Oxford have Ex Pompey goalie Simon Eastwood, Ex Pompey defender Mike Williamson (although he didn't play a single minute due to payment problems). He also played for Wolves with James Henry under Kenny Jackett. Ex Swindon skipper Nathan Thompson may make the bench and will no doubt get an interesting reception!!
Sold out away end as usual for Pompey fans should make a good atmosphere
