Conditions worsening
The rain has been teeming down non stop and there’s now puddles on the playing surface. Looks like it could be a factor in the game
Scouts aplenty
I’ve seen the scouts list tonight and there’s stacks at the game. Franny Jeffers from Everton among them. Oxford’s Derek Fazackerly and Mansfield’s Nigel Clough also in attendance
Cook coming?
Paul Cook has a pass for tonight’s game. No sign of the former Pompey boss present, but would be no surprise to see him watching two of his former clubs
