Should have been given a chance...never be forgotten… how Portsmouth fans reacted to Rose’s departure
After falling down the midfield pecking order at Fratton Park, the 30-year-old departed by mutual consent to join Swindon.
But despite his lack of game time during the Blues’ League One title charge, Rose remained a firm fans’ favourite.

Hide AdAfter moving to the south coast in the summer of 2016, he played a key role helping Paul Cook’s side win the League Two title.
The ex-Oxford man also batted back into Kenny Jackett’s line-up last term having been out of favour.
And just as he was producing his best form, Rose’s campaign was cruelly ended when he suffered a devastating leg break against Northampton.
Members of the Fratton faithful have hailed the former Manchester United trainee for his impact during his two-and-a-half years at the club.

Hide AdAnd they’ve given their verdict on whether Pompey were right to allow him to leave.
Here’s what they’ve been saying across social media...
@Danny_Rose7 should be thanked for his hard work for Portsmouth, both on and off the pitch, the ultimate clubman.
A large part of me wishes we could still accommodate him in the team. I am very sad to see him go and hopes he has an enjoyable and successful time with Swindon
@spenno13
Really should have given him a chance after he recovered from his leg break, was a massive player when he played last season.
Hopefully means we can sign someone though

Great lad will be missed, shame he had his injuries otherwise I think he might still be with us

Shame about the injury but imo I didn’t see him as championship player but who knows best of luck
Jose Alonso Torres
Class player, can't believe he didn't really get a chance in the first team but oh well. Best of luck to him, but frankly we now have better so it's not a massive loss

You’re a lovely cultured player Danny. Always thought you’d be better suited to a higher level. Or a European league.
