PRE-MATCH | JOE EDWARDS
Ahead of the match, defender Joe Edwards said: “It’s been good for the boys to have this break. While it is an international break, we’ve still been training, and that’s been as intense as it always is. After losing to Bristol City before the break, these two weeks have given us time to reset and reflect on that game, improve in certain areas and now we’re ready to go for this weekend.
“It’s a good test for us to play a lot of away games on the bounce. Travelling to different grounds and experience different atmospheres is a good thing, and it doesn’t faze us too much either. Playing away on Saturday then away the following week against Bournemouth, I’m hoping we can get some positives results before we return home.
“We’re treating this game like we would any other, and we will give it our all like we always do. Hopefully, the result will end up in our favour off the back of it. We know Portsmouth will provide us with a huge physical test, and they will definitely be up for it. I’m hopeful that our footballing ability will take care of itself on Saturday, and we can find that win.”
