No news as of yet from BBC.
All I can gather thus far is that Rossi will start (http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~916915,00.html), which perplexes me a bit because it cup-ties him, but whatever, I suppose.
I don't know what to make of this game. I really think we're the weaker side at the moment, and might be even were we at full strength.

A Pompey fan on some message board said James and Campbell won't be in the lineup. Not sure if it's true, but maybe we'll score some goals if it is.

Midfielder Kieron Dyer could make his first senior appearance...
However, having seen Dyer play his part in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Darlington yesterday, Roeder has included him in the squad for tonight’s game.
Portsmouth are still without skipper Dejan Stefanovic (knee) for the tie and a thigh injury also threatens to rule out fellow defender Glen Johnson.
Striker Lomana LuaLua has recovered from the virus which forced him to miss Saturday’s match at Chelsea and looks set to link up with another Newcastle old boy Andy Cole in attack, with Kanu and Benjani Mwaruwari rested.
Like Cole and LuaLua, defender Andy O’Brien may face his old club as manager Harry Redknapp ponders whether to rest veteran centre-backs Sol Campbell and Linvoy Primus. Dean Kiely stands by to take over in goal from David James.
Thx,
Jay!

Harper, Babayaro, Bramble, Taylor, Moore, Butt, Milner, N'Zogbia, Solano, Martins, Rossi
bench: Ramage, Duff, Dyer, Luque
According to the announcers, they expect the smallest crowd of the season, due to the weather.

N'Zogbia is in the middle with Butt, and Milner and Solano are out wide.

Martins just misses from close in...
He's become as advertised, worlds of talent, pace, athleticism. Not a classic finisher. He's had his chances and just can't for whatever reason, finish.

This ought to put all those Villa rumours to bed. Milner is once again all over the place.

Apparently so is the announcer's box. Don't they have it enclosed? :confused:

Finally putting a bit more pressure on here at the end of the first half.

We've owned the greater possession and better chances in the first half, so that's encouraging. If we could only finish...
