The head coach was cautious over Ronan Curtis’ availability but isn’t expecting any other injury issues.

He returns!!! Tom Lowery comes on for the first time since November and is greeted with plenty of cheers from the Pompey fans. He replaces Jacobs.

It’s looking better for Pompey. Good passing play down the right led to a ball in finding Scarlett. Despite bringing the ball down, he was unable to produce an effort on goal.

‘Blue army’ rings out from the away end. Fantastic support throughout!

It doesn’t come to much, however, as Cambridge are able to clear Jacobs’ ball in.
