Our last victory at the Amex was in fact our first visit to the newly built arena and came way back in October 2011, courtesy of a goal by Kevin Nolan.

But since then in five visits we have lost three times and drawn twice . It is no better at home either, with just a single win in seven meetings on our hallowed ground

But hoodoos are there to be broken and Saturday would be as good a time as any to break this particular one!
