Of all the Town players ready to face non-league Buxton at Portman Road on Sunday in an FA Cup second-round tie, Greg Leigh is out on his own as the only one to have faced the National League North side before.
Portsmouth boss Danny Cowley was delighted with his side’s 2-0 Papa Johns Trophy victory over the Blues, a team he believes have the best players in the division, at Portman Road.
Town boss Kieran McKenna says Marcus Harness’s knee injury “doesn’t look great on first viewing” and was the big disappointment of the evening, while Freddie Ladapo picked up a problem warming up, however, there is better news regarding Leif Davis, Conor Chaplin and Janoi Donacien.
