His close control and dribbling have been outstanding, especially early in the first half.
Apart from Grimmer with his straight as a die forward surges through defenders and Sadlier’s clever footwork throwing defenders off balance, we don’t often see dribbling these days.
Promising cameo from Vokes today, even though we could get the ball up to him enough. He must have been carrying a knock the last few weeks as he looked like a different player today.
I was very surprised that Potts got the sponsors’ man of the match, thought he looked well below his best today, but then the sponsors always seem to pick at random.
It wasn’t a bad performance but a lot of players offered up a 6/10, which was never going to be good enough against a decent, but unspectacular, Pompey.
I’m looking forward to a significant overhaul of our attack in the summer.

I need half an hour to sort that out!!
One of the easier weeks. Lubala.
Funny you should say that.
That's who I went for too - I thought it was his best performance for us.

Lubala and Koné look a good pairing.
Look forward to seeing them continue against Blackpool, whose defence may not be quite as accomplished as Pompey’s.

Agreed. Sponsors must have been West Ham fans.
Lubala.
Agreed. Potts is normally in the top three but solid and unspectacular today.
Butcher, easy. He's everywhere, the new Scowen !
I went for Butcher too but Lubala was very good also.
Lubala, great first half and his best showing for us.
Between Butcher and Lubala.
