That match will not live long in the memory. I've already tried to forget most of it and I sympathise with those who have to watch it back for analysis purposes.

But it doesn't matter. All that was relevant for Pompey was getting three points and they found a way.

John Mousinho admitted it was a poor first half but once they took the lead after the break they never looked like relinquishing it.

New signings Millenic Alli and Ebou Adams both showed signs of promise. Adams will surely start the next match.

Portsmouth still need further signings. They'll need to play better than this but it's now 11 points from the past six matches. They keep fighting and continue to remain above the dotted line.
