Do you agree with how Blues writer Jordan Cross saw it at Fratton Park?

Poor for goal and looked uncomfortable. Perhaps slightly fortunate not to give away a penalty on shaky evening. Then saved from De Havilland but couldn't be the penalty shootout hero. (Photo: Jason Brown)

One of Pompey’s bright spots on his return to the side. Got forward with purpose, put a number of decent balls in and linked up well with Paddy Lane. (Photo: Jason Brown/ProSportsImages)

Again looked pretty sharp defensively and got in some important interventions. Can count himself unfortunate to not be involved in the league. (Photo: Jason Brown)

Looked comfortable on the ball as you’d expect of the classy defender, but caught out positionally at times with his team-mates required to save the day. Much more comfortable after break, however. (Photo: Jason Brown)

Exposed down the left flank un a tough first half for the left-back. Ajiboye posed plenty of problems with the visitors having their joy in Sparkes’ area of the pitch - but then the response came with a much improved effort - especially going forward after break. (Photo: Jason Brown)

A mature midfield display with the Northern Irishman showing the promise we’ve heard about. Was unfortunate not to score after excellent save from Flynn Talley (Photo: Jason Brown)

Once again an efficient display from the midfielder who continues to show composure and intelligence whenever he gets a chance (Photo: Jason Brown)

Took a nasty early hit with the post but kept coming with his positivity and forward running a Pompey bright spot - and then maintained charge with second-half assist. (Photo: Jason Brown)

Quality is obvious. The Aussie has that ability to go through the gears others around him don’t have. Was involved in plenty of brighter moments. (Photo: Jason Brown)

A tough first half for youngster - Energy and willingness was clear to see but couldn’t get himself into the game as he would’ve liked. Responded very well after the break where he stepped things up before withdrawal. (Photo: Jason Brown)

The goal has arrived! The moment the striker has been waiting for produced a quality piece of hold-up play and finish to match to get off mark with his effort matched by his willingness and often unstoppable running. (Photo: Jason Brown)
