38 cracking images as 18,150 Portsmouth fans stick by their side despite Sunderland defeat

A 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Black Cats means Pompey head into the international break yet to win on their Championship return.

But with 15 new signings through the door before the transfer window slammed shut on Friday night and John Mousinho having two weeks now to work with his new-look side on the training pitch, there’s still reasons to be positive.

There’ll also be a hope that the Blues can get some of their walking wounded back, with seven ruled out through injury or illness for the visit of Sunderland.

Only then can we really see what Pompey have to offer as they settle back into life in the Championship.

Next home is a another home game against West Brom on Sunday, September 15.
