Barnsley: Fit-again Reds striker targets extended FA Cup run

The Reds can take a break from the weekly slog of a relegation fight in the Championship when they travel to the League One side at Fratton Park.

It will not be an easy task against a side pushing for promotion, but Woodrow is acutely aware of the possible rewards for winning.

The last-16 offers hope of a glamour tie or even the chance of reaching the quarter-finals if they get drawn against a lower-league side in the next round.

Woodrow, who is back fit again after a hamstring injury, is wary of Pompey but wants to get the win against the 2008 winners.

“We played there last season and know it’s a really tough place to go; they’ve got some good players and it’s a game that we want to win to go through to the next round,” Woodrow said.

“We’ll go there and treat it like any other game and hopefully get the win.

“Any year in the cup, we want to do well.

“You never know who your next game will be against; it could be a big team.

“It’s something that you’ve got to enjoy because if you lose, then you’re out.

“It’s the FA Cup; everyone wants to play in it from being a kid – especially me – so I’m just looking forward to it.”

Reds midfielder Cameron McGeehan will be unavailable for Pompey against his parent club.

McGeehan, 24, has featured three times since joining Portsmouth on loan this month.
